MicroStrategy 宣布 420 億美元比特幣收購計劃

MicroStrategy 共同創辦人 Michael Saylor 曾經是比特幣懷疑論者，但在 2020 年突然轉向，將比特幣視為終極資產和通膨對沖工具。

MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor, once known for his skepticism towards Bitcoin, made a significant pivot in 2020. Since then, he has become one of BTC's most vocal advocates, touting it as the world's most valuable financial asset and the ultimate inflation hedge.

MicroStrategy 聯合創始人Michael Saylor 曾因對比特幣持懷疑態度而聞名，但他在2020 年做出了重大轉變。上最有價值的金融資產和終極通膨對沖工具。

As part of its Bitcoin treasury strategy, MicroStrategy has built an impressive war chest of 252,220 BTC, currently valued at around $17.5 billion. Notably, the company is showing no signs of slowing down its BTC acquisitions, announcing a fresh $42 billion plan. However, gold enthusiast Peter Schiff isn't exactly thrilled by this move and took a jab at the plan.

作為其比特幣金庫策略的一部分，MicroStrategy 建立了令人印象深刻的 252,220 BTC 儲備金，目前價值約 175 億美元。值得注意的是，該公司沒有顯示出放緩 BTC 收購步伐的跡象，並宣布了一項新的 420 億美元計劃。然而，黃金愛好者彼得·希夫（Peter Schiff）對這一舉動並不感到興奮，並對該計劃進行了猛烈抨擊。

“Egg Man” Saylor

「蛋人」塞勒

Following MicroStrategy's unveiling of its new $42 billion plan to buy more Bitcoin, Schiff quickly weighed in, using a playful parable to throw shade on Saylor's BTC obsession. Schiff's tale centers on the overconfident “egg man” who couldn't resist betting big on egg futures.

在 MicroStrategy 公佈其新的 420 億美元購買更多比特幣的計劃後，Schiff 迅速介入，用一個有趣的寓言來掩蓋 Saylor 對 BTC 的痴迷。希夫的故事以過於自信的「雞蛋人」為中心，他無法抗拒在雞蛋期貨上進行大賭注。

In Schiff's story, a client is convinced that egg prices are going to the moon, so he calls up his broker to buy egg futures. With each price jump, his confidence grows, and he keeps doubling down, snapping up more and more contracts.

在希夫的故事中，一位客戶確信雞蛋價格即將上漲，因此他致電經紀人購買雞蛋期貨。隨著價格的每一次上漲，他的信心都會增強，並且不斷加倍努力，搶購越來越多的合約。

Sitting on millions of egg futures, he finally decides to sell and cash in big. However, when he asked his broker to cash out, the broker responded, “Sell to whom? You’re the Egg Man!”

坐擁數百萬雞蛋期貨的他最終決定出售並大筆套現。然而，當他要求經紀人套現時，經紀人回答：「賣給誰？你就是雞蛋人！

Despite Schiff's cautionary tale, Saylor remains unfazed in his pursuit of amassing as much Bitcoin as possible and holding it for the long term. Selling for fiat is not a part of his plan, and he urges all Bitcoiners to embrace the same mindset.

儘管希夫提出了警示性的故事，但塞勒仍然不為自己追求盡可能多地累積比特幣並長期持有的目標所困擾。出售法幣並不是他計劃的一部分，他敦促所有比特幣持有者抱持同樣的心態。

“You do not sell your #Bitcoin. The Great Bitcoin Buy-Up In its quest to acquire even more Bitcoin, MicroStrategy has revealed an ambitious new strategy called the “21/21 Plan.” The goal is to raise a whopping $42 billion in capital over the next three years to fuel more BTC buys.

「你不會出售你的#Bitcoin。偉大的比特幣收購 為了收購更多比特幣，MicroStrategy 宣布了一項雄心勃勃的新策略，稱為「21/21 計畫」。目標是在未來三年內籌集高達 420 億美元的資金，以推動更多的 BTC 購買。

This would involve raising $21 billion by selling shares in the secondary market at the current price, while the other half will come from issuing new fixed-income securities.

這將涉及透過以當前價格在二級市場出售股票籌集 210 億美元，而另一半將來自發行新的固定收益證券。

For those wondering, fixed-income securities mean MicroStrategy will sell company bonds to investors, who’ll receive a fixed interest return and their original investment back upon maturity.

對於想知道的人來說，固定收益證券意味著 MicroStrategy 將向投資者出售公司債券，投資者將在到期時獲得固定利息回報和原始投資回報。

While all investments come with their fair share of risks, it's clear that MicroStrategy is all in on Bitcoin, placing a massive bet that the “number(s) go up” (NGU) forever.

雖然所有投資都伴隨著公平的風險，但很明顯，MicroStrategy 全力押注於比特幣，並押下了「數字永遠上漲」(NGU) 的巨額賭注。
