新國防部長皮特·海格斯（Pete Hegseth

新國防部長皮特·海格斯（Pete Hegseth）將加密貨幣持有率帶到了五角大樓的首席職位，財務披露顯示他在對數字資產的廣泛支持中擁有5,000至15,000美元的比特幣。

New Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is entering the Pentagon’s top post with cryptocurrency holdings, as financial disclosures show he owns an estimated $5,000 to $15,000 in Bitcoin.

新國防部長皮特·赫格斯（Pete Hegseth）正在以加密貨幣持有的速度進入五角大樓的頂級職位，因為財務披露表明他擁有估計有5,000美元至15,000美元的比特幣。

The Fox News host and Army veteran has voiced support for digital assets in the past, and his Bitcoin holdings come amid broader enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies in the U.S.

福克斯新聞主持人和陸軍退伍軍人過去曾表達了對數字資產的支持，他的比特幣持有量在美國的加密貨幣熱情上更加熱情

After Bitcoin initially surged past $80,000 in November, Hegseth said on Fox News that former President Donald Trump helped the cryptocurrency by signaling to the market that it wouldn’t be overregulated.

赫格斯（Hegseth）在福克斯新聞（Fox News）上說，比特幣最初飆升了80,000美元，前總統唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）通過向市場發出信號不會過分監管來幫助加密貨幣。

“Look at Trump, making bitcoin great again,” Hegseth said at the time. “All it took was signaling to that market that they weren’t going to be overregulated. Trump embraced them.”

當時，赫格斯說：“看看特朗普，使比特幣再次變得很棒。” “所需的只是向那個市場發出信號，表明他們不會被過度監管。特朗普擁抱了他們。”

The Senate confirmed Hegseth as defense secretary Friday in a 50-50 vote, with Vice President JD Vance breaking the tie to install him in the role.

參議院在周五以50票對50票證實了赫格斯擔任國防部長，副總統傑德·萬斯（JD Vance）打破了平局，將他納入該職位。

The narrow victory came despite concerns about Hegseth's qualifications and personal conduct, and it marked only the second time a vice president has cast a deciding vote for a Cabinet nominee.

儘管擔心赫格斯的資格和個人行為，但勝利還是取得了狹窄的勝利，這僅標誌著副總統第二次決定對內閣提名人進行投票。

Financial records released Jan. 13 show that Hegseth earned over $5 million in the past two years, with the majority of his income coming from his Fox News hosting role and several speaking engagements.

1月13日發布的財務記錄顯示，赫格斯在過去兩年中賺了超過500萬美元，他的大部分收入來自他的福克斯新聞主持人角色和幾次演講。

In addition to his Bitcoin holdings, the documents show that Hegseth collected $4.6 million from Fox News and up to $1 million from a Baltimore rental property.

除了他的比特幣控股外，這些文件還顯示，赫格斯從福克斯新聞中收取了460萬美元，從巴爾的摩出租物業收取了100萬美元。

Hegseth has openly backed cryptocurrency, praising its independence from government control. During Coinbase Global's (COIN) COIN 2021 IPO, Hegseth called it the “tip of the iceberg” for digital currency adoption.

赫格斯公開支持加密貨幣，稱讚其獨立於政府的控制。在Coinbase Global（Coin）Coin 2021 IPO期間，赫格斯（Hegseth）稱其為採用數字貨幣的“冰山一角”。

“Crypto has arrived. Bitcoin is not a person, it’s not a company, it’s not a place. It’s tougher to stop than you would think,” Hegseth said at the time, according to cryptocurrency publication The Block.

“加密貨幣已經到了。比特幣不是一個人，不是公司，而是一個地方。根據加密貨幣出版物的說法，赫格斯當時說。

Hegseth takes control of the Pentagon as Bitcoin trades around $100,000, potentially reacting to shifting political winds. His dual role as both a Bitcoin investor and America’s new defense chief arrives as digital assets face less scrutiny from the federal government.

赫格斯（Hegseth）控制五角大樓，因為比特幣交易約100,000美元，可能會對改變政治風的反應。隨著數字資產面臨聯邦政府的審查，他作為比特幣投資者和美國新國防部長的雙重角色到來。

The position puts him among the highest-ranking U.S. officials to publicly hold cryptocurrency, though his Bitcoin stake represents a small portion of his multimillion-dollar portfolio.

該職位使他成為美國最高的官員中公開持有加密貨幣的職位，儘管他的比特幣股份代表了他數百萬美元的投資組合中的一小部分。
