軟銀對比特幣（BTC）掉頭，並以5,000萬美元的價格用於密碼開採

SoftBank Group has made a $50 million investment into industrial-scale Bitcoin mining company Cipher Mining.

軟銀集團已向工業規模的比特幣礦業公司Cipher Mining進行了5000萬美元的投資。

According to VanEck head of digital asset research Matthew Sigel, this marks a "huge endorsement" for the diversified Bitcoin/AI model from SoftBank Group CEO Masayoshi Son.

Vaneck Digital Asset Research Matthew Sigel的負責人表示，這標誌著Softbank Group CEO Masayoshi Son的多元化比特幣/AI模型的“巨大認可”。

"This is a huge endorsement for Son’s model of diversifying into both Bitcoin and AI. We continue to believe that Bitcoin will be a key technology for the AI revolution, and that this will drive institutional demand for both asset classes in the coming years," Sigel wrote in a note to clients on Monday.

“這是兒子多元化到比特幣和人工智能模型的巨大認可。我們繼續認為，比特幣將是AI革命的關鍵技術，這將推動未來幾年對這兩種資產類別的機構需求，” Sigel在週一給客戶的一份筆記中寫道。

Cipher CEO Tyler Page said that the company was "thrilled" to welcome the Japanese financial giant as an investor.

Cipher首席執行官泰勒·佩奇（Tyler Page）表示，該公司對日本金融巨頭作為投資者感到“興奮”。

Son, the third-richest Japanese person, initially invested in Bitcoin at the peak of the 2017 bubble. As reported by U.Today, he ended up losing as much as $160 million after deciding to sell his Bitcoin holdings at a huge loss due to viewing it as a distraction.

兒子是最初在2017年泡沫頂峰時投資比特幣的兒子。正如U.Today報導的那樣，他決定以巨大的損失出售他的比特幣持有量後，最終損失了多達1.6億美元，這是由於將其視為分心。

Obviously, the disastrous Bitcoin bet hardly made a dent in his massive net worth, which currently stands at a whopping $31.3 billion

顯然，災難性的比特幣押注幾乎沒有使他的巨額淨資產陷入困境，目前的價值高達313億美元

In 2020, he predicted that digital currencies would be "useful," but he stopped short of singling out a single token.

他預測，在2020年，數字貨幣將“有用”，但他停止了單個令牌。

Softbank's AI bet

軟銀的AI押注

Earlier this week, it was reported that SoftBank was preparing to make a staggering $25 billion million investment in OpenAI. The terms of the investment are yet to be fleshed out, according to the New York Times.

據報導，本週早些時候，軟銀準備在Openai進行驚人的250億美元投資。據《紐約時報》報導，投資條款尚未充實。

The Japanese behemoth is also part of the $100 billion AI project called Stargate.

日本龐然大物也是1000億美元的AI項目的一部分，稱為Stargate。
