比特幣投資者邁克爾·塞勒試圖說服微軟購買比特幣，但失敗了

對 Saylor 和他共同創立的 MicroStrategy 公司來說，這項策略是一項利潤豐厚的策略。該公司股價今年以來漲幅超410%

Bitcoin investor Michael Saylor tried to convince Microsoft to use some of its cash to buy bitcoin.

比特幣投資者 Michael Saylor 試圖說服微軟使用部分現金購買比特幣。

The strategy has been lucrative for Saylor and his company, MicroStrategy, which now has bitcoin holdings worth over $42.3 billion.

這項策略對 Saylor 和他的公司 MicroStrategy 來說是有利可圖的，該公司目前持有的比特幣價值超過 423 億美元。

But Saylor's attempt to convince Microsoft shareholders to convert cash flows, dividends, buybacks and debt into bitcoin did not come close to passing.

但塞勒試圖說服微軟股東將現金流、股息、回購和債務轉換為比特幣的嘗試並沒有成功。

Bitcoin is still viewed by most CFOs as a highly speculative asset class, according to the latest CNBC CFO Council quarterly survey.

根據 CNBC 財務長委員會最新的季度調查，大多數財務長仍將比特幣視為高度投機的資產類別。

However, only 11% of CFOs in the Q4 survey said bitcoin is a fraud, a significant decrease compared to previous surveys.

然而，在第四季度的調查中，只有 11% 的財務長表示比特幣是一種詐欺行為，與先前的調查相比顯著下降。

There are three publicly traded companies that hold more than 10,000 bitcoin, according to Bitcoin Treasuries.

根據 Bitcoin Treasuries 的數據，有 3 家上市公司持有超過 10,000 枚比特幣。

Bitcoin investor Michael Saylor tried for months to convince Microsoft to use some of the more than $78.42 billion in cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet to buy bitcoin.

比特幣投資者 Michael Saylor 幾個月來一直試圖說服微軟使用其資產負債表上超過 784.2 億美元的現金和現金等價物中的一部分來購買比特幣。

The strategy has been a lucrative one for Saylor and the company he co-founded, MicroStrategy. The company's stock price has risen more than 410% this year, with the company holding about 423,650 bitcoins as of Dec. 8, holdings worth upwards of $42.3 billion as bitcoin trades around $100,000. MicroStrategy acquired those holdings at an aggregate price of roughly $26.5 billion, according to the company.

對 Saylor 和他共同創立的 MicroStrategy 公司來說，這項策略是一項利潤豐厚的策略。該公司股價今年已上漲超過 410%，截至 12 月 8 日，該公司持有約 423,650 枚比特幣，當比特幣交易價格約為 10 萬美元時，其持有價值超過 423 億美元。據該公司稱，MicroStrategy 以約 265 億美元的總價收購了這些股份。

That balance sheet approach is now headed into the Nasdaq 100 and the major ETFs that track it, such as the Invesco QQQ, with MicroStrategy being added to the tech-heavy index on Dec. 23.

這種資產負債表方法現在已被納入納斯達克 100 指數和追蹤該資產負債表的主要 ETF，例如 Invesco QQQ，其中 MicroStrategy 已於 12 月 23 日被添加到以科技股為主的指數中。

However, Saylor's attempt to convince Microsoft and its shareholders to convert cash flows, dividends, buybacks and debt into bitcoin — he was backing conservative think tank The Free Enterprise Project, which submitted the shareholder proposal at Microsoft and has submitted a similar proposal to Amazon — did not come close to passing.

然而，塞勒試圖說服微軟及其股東將現金流、股息、回購和債務轉換為比特幣——他支持保守派智庫自由企業項目，該項目向微軟提交了股東提案，並向亞馬遜提交了類似的提案——並沒有接近通過。

Just 0.55% of votes at the company's annual meeting on Dec. 10 supported the plan. Microsoft, as well as proxy advisors Glass Lewis and Institutional Shareholder Services, had all suggested shareholders reject the proposal ahead of the vote.

在 12 月 10 日舉行的公司年會上，只有 0.55% 的票數支持該計劃。微軟以及代理顧問格拉斯劉易斯和機構股東服務公司都建議股東在投票前拒絕該提案。

The more conservative stance of corporations and their shareholders even as bitcoin surges is reflected in the latest CNBC CFO Council quarterly survey, released Thursday. Asked their view about bitcoin, 78% of respondents to the survey said bitcoin is a highly speculative asset class, while only 7% said it is a credible store of value.

週四發布的 CNBC 財務長委員會最新季度調查反映了儘管比特幣飆升，企業及其股東仍持更保守的立場。當被問及對比特幣的看法時，78% 的受訪者表示比特幣是一種高度投機的資產類別，而只有 7% 的人表示它是一種可靠的價值儲存手段。

But crypto is making some progress among CFOs when it comes to the general level of acceptance. Notably, 11% of CFOs in the Q4 survey said bitcoin is a fraud, a significant decrease compared to previous CNBC CFO Council surveys where that question was asked.

但就整體接受程度而言，加密貨幣在財務長中正在取得一些進展。值得注意的是，在第四季度的調查中，11% 的財務長表示比特幣是一種詐欺行為，與先前 CNBC 財務長委員會調查中提出的問題相比，這一比例顯著下降。

In 2017, 28% of CFOs said it was a fraud. In 2021, 19% said it was a fraud when asked the same question.

2017 年，28% 的財務長表示這是詐欺行為。 2021 年，當被問到同樣的問題時，19% 的人表示這是詐欺行為。

The percentage of respondents who held no view of bitcoin — fraud, store of value, or speculative asset class — declined from 30% in 2017 to just 4% in this latest survey.

在這項最新調查中，對比特幣——欺詐、價值儲存或投機資產類別——不持看法的受訪者比例從 2017 年的 30% 下降到只有 4%。

The quarterly CNBC CFO Council survey reflects a sampling of views from chief finance officers across the market and sectors, with 27 respondents included in the Q4 survey, conducted December 9–December 16.

CNBC 財務長委員會季度調查反映了整個市場和行業首席財務官的觀點抽樣，12 月 9 日至 16 日進行的第四季度調查中有 27 名受訪者。

There are three publicly traded companies that hold more than 10,000 bitcoin, according to the bitcoin tracking website Bitcoin Treasuries. Those companies are MicroStrategy, Marathon Digital, and Riot Platforms. Other crypto industry companies, like Coinbase and Block, also disclose crypto holdings.

根據比特幣追蹤網站 Bitcoin Treasuries 的數據，共有 3 家上市公司持有超過 10,000 枚比特幣。這些公司分別是 MicroStrategy、Marathon Digital 和 Riot Platforms。其他加密產業公司，如 Coinbase 和 Block，也揭露了加密資產的持有量。

However, there are very few non-crypto-focused public companies that disclose any holding — Tesla, which bought $1.5 billion in bitcoin in 2021, being one of the lone exceptions — despite bitcoin's price surge this year as well as its growing focus across the political landscape.

然而，很少有非專注於加密貨幣的上市公司披露其持有的比特幣——特斯拉是唯一的例外之一，該公司在2021 年購買了15 億美元的比特幣——儘管比特幣今年價格飆升，而且它在整個行業的關注度不斷提高。

Microsoft is ahead of many companies in its crypto deliberations. It said in an October proxy filing that its treasury and investment services team previously evaluated bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to fund the company's operations and reduce economic risk, adding that it "continues to monitor trends and developments related to cryptocurrencies to inform future decision making."

微軟在加密貨幣方面的考慮領先許多公司。該公司在10 月的一份代理文件中表示，其財務和投資服務團隊此前曾評估過比特幣和其他加密貨幣，為公司營運提供資金並降低經濟風險，並補充說，該公司「將繼續監控與加密貨幣相關的趨勢和發展，為未來的決策提供資訊」。

The company also noted at its annual meeting that it started accepting cryptocurrency for customer payments in 2014.

該公司還在年會上指出，它於 2014 年開始接受加密貨幣作為客戶付款。

The overwhelming majority of respondents to the CNBC CFO Council quarterly survey said their company neither holds bitcoin or any cryptocurrency, nor accepts either as a form of payment.

CNBC 財務長委員會季度調查的絕大多數受訪者表示，他們的公司既不持有比特幣或任何加密貨幣，也不接受任何一種付款方式。

It is unclear how much this corporate strategy will shift based on the actions of the Trump administration. President-elect Donald Trump made several pro-crypto campaign promises, including advocating for the establishment of a national strategic bitcoin reserve, something that the Texas House of Representatives is now also

目前尚不清楚該公司策略將根據川普政府的行動發生多大變化。當選總統唐納德·川普做出了許多支持加密貨幣的競選承諾，包括倡導建立國家戰略比特幣儲備，德克薩斯州眾議院現在也正在這樣做
