KENFIBA，肯亞國家消防隊協會將比特幣添加到其資產負債表中，成為肯亞第一個持有比特幣的工會！

可能是非洲大陸第一個持有比特幣的工會

The Kenya National Fire Brigades Association (KENFIBA) has become the first labor union in the country to adopt a Bitcoin reserve, according to Proof of Workforce, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping unions and workers adopt Bitcoin.

根據致力於幫助工會和工人採用比特幣的非營利組織 Proof of Workforce 的說法，肯亞國家消防隊協會 (KENFIBA) 已成為該國第一個採用比特幣儲備的工會。

“Their success as a union, translates into success for the people of Kenya, and the emergency services and firefighters they rely on in life or death situations.”

“他們作為一個工會的成功，轉化為肯尼亞人民以及他們在生死攸關的情況下所依賴的緊急服務和消防員的成功。”

The association received a bitcoin donation from Proof of Workforce, presented using a symbolic wallet at the 2024 Africa Bitcoin Conference held in Nairobi, Kenya.

該協會收到了來自 Proof of Workforce 的比特幣捐贈，該捐贈是在肯亞內羅畢舉行的 2024 年非洲比特幣會議上使用象徵性錢包捐贈的。

“KENFIBA, The Kenya National Fire Brigades Association, adds Bitcoin onto their balance sheet, becoming the first labor union in Kenya to hold Bitcoin! Potentially, the first labor union on the continent to hold Bitcoin,” said Proof of Workforce on X.

Kenyans are significantly underserved in the area of firefighting. According to Proof of Workforce, the nation of 56 million people, has around 1,400 Firefighters. For perspective, L.A. City, with 4 million, has 4,000 uniform personnel.

肯亞人在消防領域的服務嚴重不足。根據勞動力證明，這個擁有 5,600 萬人口的國家約有 1,400 名消防員。相比之下，擁有 400 萬人口的洛杉磯市有 4,000 名製服人員。

Moreover, firefighting as a profession in the country is not well compensated, and workers usually lack work safety equipment. KENFIBA leadership under CEO, Bernard Onyango, and Secretary, General Francis Omolo, have bee at the forefront in fighting for better standards for firefighters in Kenya.

此外，消防作為一個職業在該國並沒有得到很好的補償，而且工人通常缺乏工作安全設備。 KENFIBA 在執行長 Bernard Onyango 和秘書長 Francis Omolo 將軍的領導下，一直走在為肯亞消防員爭取更高標準的最前線。

According to Proof of Workforce, its goal is to help KENFIBA with their efforts by placing Bitcoin on their balance sheet, via donated sats, coupled with some education for their members.

根據 Proof of Workforce 的說法，其目標是透過捐贈衛星將比特幣納入其資產負債表，並為其會員提供一些教育，從而幫助 KENFIBA 開展工作。

“Their success as a union, translates into success for the people of Kenya, and the emergency services and firefighters they rely on in life or death situations.”

“他們作為一個工會的成功，轉化為肯尼亞人民以及他們在生死攸關的情況下所依賴的緊急服務和消防員的成功。”

Magdalena Gronowska, an adviser to Proof of Workforce, said that the program aims to support KENFIBA’s “emergency response, membership, and recruitment initiatives by integrating Bitcoin into their balance sheet.”

勞動力證明顧問 Magdalena Gronowska 表示，該計劃旨在透過將比特幣納入其資產負債表來支持 KENFIBA 的「緊急響應、會員資格和招聘計劃」。

“This trip, we met with the CEO & Sec. General of the Kenya Fire Brigades Association, & learned about their work in supporting & unifying the Kenyan Firefighters, & enhancing the fire service in Kenya. We also discussed Bitcoin & its benefits as a tool for unions & wage earners. Kenya, a nation of 56 million people, has ~1,400 Firefighter – for perspective, Toronto, with 3 million, has 3,200 uniformed personnel,” said Gronowska.

「這次旅行，我們會見了執行長和秘書。肯亞消防隊協會會長，了解他們在支持和團結肯亞消防員以及加強肯亞消防服務方面的工作。我們也討論了比特幣及其作為工會和工薪階層工具的好處。肯亞是一個擁有 5,600 萬人口的國家，擁有約 1,400 名消防員，相比之下，擁有 300 萬人口的多倫多則擁有 3,200 名軍警人員，」Gronowska 說。

In recent years, a growing number of companies have begun holding Bitcoin on their balance sheet as a strategic investment, notably American companies.

近年來，越來越多的公司開始在資產負債表上持有比特幣作為策略投資，尤其是美國公司。

This trend reflects a broader acceptance of cryptocurrency as a legitimate asset class driven by the potential for high returns and a hedge against inflation.

這一趨勢反映出人們更廣泛地接受加密貨幣作為合法資產類別，其驅動力是高回報潛力和對沖通膨的潛力。

The asset has gained more than 120% in 2024, rising from $44,000 at the beginning of the year to surpass the $100,000 mark in December 2024.

該資產在 2024 年漲幅超過 120%，從年初的 44,000 美元上漲到 2024 年 12 月突破 10 萬美元大關。
