創建“戰略比特幣儲備”

在美國建立了“戰略比特幣儲備”，這進一步證明了唐納德·特朗普總統對加密貨幣部門的支持。

President Donald Trump's administration is planning to create a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” in the United States, reported Financial Times on Friday.

唐納德·特朗普總統（Donald Trump）的政府計劃在周五在美國創建“戰略性比特幣儲備”。

The move comes as no surprise considering Trump's open support for the cryptocurrency sector.

考慮到特朗普對加密貨幣部門的公開支持，此舉並不奇怪。

Earlier this month, Trump signed an executive order establishing the reserve, which White House crypto chief David Sacks has likened to “a digital Fort Knox”.

本月初，特朗普簽署了一項行政命令，建立了該儲備，白宮加密船長戴維·薩克斯（David Sacks）將其比作“數字堡壘”。

Gold is held in reserves by countries worldwide as the metal is seen as a safe-haven asset, offering protection against financial instability such as high inflation.

黃金在全球範圍內的儲備金中持有，因為金屬被視為避風港資產，可保護諸如高通貨膨脹之類的金融不穩定。

The metal on Friday passed $3,000 per ounce for the first time, driven by an uncertain economic outlook amid Trump’s tariffs.

週五的金屬在特朗普的關稅和不確定的經濟前景驅動下，首次通過了3,000美元。

Gold reserves can also help stabilise a country’s currency, while they are used as collateral for loans and transactions.

黃金儲備還可以幫助穩定一個國家的貨幣，而它們被用作貸款和交易的抵押品。

– How will US bitcoin reserve work? –

- 我們比特幣儲備將如何工作？ -

It is to be funded by about 200,000 bitcoins, worth around $17 billion in total, that have been seized in the United States as a result of civil and criminal cases.

由於民事和刑事案件，它將由約200,000比特幣資助，總價值約170億美元。

The reserve will be virtually secured for an indefinite time.

儲備實際上將無限期地固定。

Additional bitcoin can be added to the reserve as long as such action is “budget-neutral”, thus not costing the taxpayer.

只要此類行動是“預算中立”，就可以將其他比特幣添加到儲備金中，從而不會使納稅人付出代價。

加密數據提供商Kaiko的分析師Dessislava Aubert告訴法新社，美國政府必須將比特幣歸還給所有被確定遭受黑客攻擊的受害者。

According to Aubert, “a big chunk” of the bitcoin held by the United States — estimated at around 198,000 tokens — would have to be returned to victims of a hack at crypto exchange Bitfinex in 2016.

據奧伯特（Aubert）稱，美國持有的比特幣的“大部分”（估計約為198,000個令牌），必須在2016年將其歸還給Crypto Exchange Bitfinex的Hack受害者。

Sector watchers are also waiting to see if other digital tokens will be added to the reserve, which is possible according to the executive order.

行業觀察者還在等待查看是否將其他數字代幣添加到儲備金中，這是根據行政命令的。

同時，Crypto Platform Coinhouse的投資總監Stephane Ifrah表示，由於有限的2100萬個標記，比特幣像黃金一樣可以從稀有度中獲利。

An advantage of the bitcoin reserve is its transparency, since the level of tokens will be known at all times — unlike the amount of gold placed in Fort Knox.

比特幣儲備的優點是它的透明度，因為代幣的水平將始終以始終為單位，這與諾克斯堡（Fort Knox）的黃金數量不同。

Additionally, with the bitcoin reserve, “we’re dealing with a rare asset that’s much more suited to today’s world”, Ifrah told AFP.

此外，在比特幣儲備中，“我們正在處理一項更適合當今世界的罕見資產”，伊法拉告訴法國法庭。
