當選總統唐納德·川普選擇比特幣倡導者斯科特·貝森特為財政部長提名人

對沖基金 Key Square Capital Management 的創始人、比特幣倡導者 Scott Bessent 被當選總統唐納德·川普 (Donald Trump) 選為財政部長提名人

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Scott Bessent, the founder of hedge fund Key Square Capital Management and a Bitcoin advocate, as his nominee for Treasury secretary.

當選總統唐納德·川普提名對沖基金 Key Square Capital Management 創始人、比特幣倡導者 Scott Bessent 為財政部長提名人。

This nomination would give Bessent a major say in shaping US economic policy related to digital assets, including the possibility of creating a national Bitcoin stockpile.

此次提名將使貝森特在製定與數位資產相關的美國經濟政策方面擁有重大發言權，包括創建國家比特幣庫存的可能性。

“Scott has long been a strong advocate of the America First Agenda. On the eve of our Great Country’s 250th Anniversary, he will help me usher in a new Golden Age for the United States, as we fortify our position as the World’s leading Economy, Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurialism, Destination for Capital, while always, and without question, maintaining the US Dollar as the Reserve Currency of the World,” Trump said in a statement Friday, according to CNN.

「史考特長期以來一直是美國第一議程的堅定倡導者。在我們偉大國家成立 250 週年紀念前夕，他將幫助我開創美國的新黃金時代，同時我們將始終鞏固我們作為世界領先經濟體、創新和創業中心、資本目的地的地位。報道，川普週五在一份聲明中表示：“毫無疑問，維持美元作為世界儲備貨幣的地位。”

The 62-year-old billionaire, who advised Trump on economic policy during the campaign, previously made his mark at Soros Fund Management by leading profitable trades against the British pound and Japanese yen.

這位 62 歲的億萬富翁曾在競選期間為川普提供經濟政策建議，此前曾在索羅斯基金管理公司因主導英鎊和日圓的盈利交易而嶄露頭角。

If confirmed, Bessent would oversee the Treasury Department’s broad portfolio including the economic agenda, tax management, debt management, and financial regulation. He faces immediate challenges including a federal debt limit approaching $36 trillion, expiring provisions from Republicans’ 2017 tax cuts, and implementing Trump’s campaign promises.

如果得到確認，貝森特將監督財政部的廣泛投資組合，包括經濟議程、稅務管理、債務管理和財務監管。他面臨著迫在眉睫的挑戰，包括接近 36 兆美元的聯邦債務上限、共和黨 2017 年減稅條款的到期以及落實川普的競選承諾。

Bessent has called for deregulation, tax cuts, and “addressing the debt burden,” which he blamed on “four years of reckless spending.” He previously declared that a new Trump administration would support a strong dollar and not seek to devalue it.

貝森特呼籲放鬆管制、減稅和“解決債務負擔”，他將其歸咎於“四年來的魯莽支出”。他先前曾宣稱，川普新政府將支持強勢美元，而不是尋求美元貶值。

The nomination could signal changes in US digital asset policy, including the potential establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve – an idea Trump referenced during his Bitcoin 2024 Conference keynote in July.

這項提名可能標誌著美國數位資產政策的變化，包括可能建立比特幣戰略儲備——川普在 7 月的比特幣 2024 會議主題演講中提到了這個想法。

According to FOX Business’ Eleanor Terrett, Bessent is “very pro-crypto.” His belief is that “the crypto economy is here to stay” and that it aligns well with Republican values.

據福克斯商業頻道的 Eleanor Terrett 稱，Bessent「非常支持加密貨幣」。他的信念是“加密經濟將繼續存在”，並且它與共和黨的價值觀非常吻合。

“I think everything is on the table with Bitcoin,” Bessent said in a statement shared by Terrett. “One of the most exciting things about Bitcoin is that it brings in young people and those who have not participated in markets before. Cultivating a market culture in the US, where people believe in a system that works for them, is the centerpiece of capitalism.”

貝森特在特雷特分享的聲明中表示：“我認為比特幣的一切都已擺在桌面上。” 「比特幣最令人興奮的事情之一是它吸引了年輕人和那些以前沒有參與過市場的人。在美國培育市場文化，讓人們相信適合他們的製度，是資本主義的核心。

Trump chose Bessent for Treasury after naming Howard Lutnick, known for his support of Bitcoin and stablecoins, as Commerce secretary nominee earlier this week.

本週早些時候，川普任命以支持比特幣和穩定幣而聞名的霍華德·盧特尼克(Howard Lutnick)為商務部長提名人，之後選擇貝森特擔任財政部長。
