特朗普的比特幣保留一個“數字諾克斯”

特朗普的“戰略比特幣儲備”將由約20萬比特幣資助，總價值約為170億美元

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order creating a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve," which will be funded by about 200,000 bitcoins, worth around $17 billion in total.

唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統簽署了一項行政命令，創建了“戰略性比特幣儲備”，該訂單將由約20萬比特幣資助，總價值約為170億美元。

The creation of the bitcoin reserve is further proof of Trump’s support for the cryptocurrency sector.

比特幣儲備的創建進一步證明了特朗普對加密貨幣部門的支持。

Trump earlier this month signed the executive order establishing the reserve, which White House crypto chief David Sacks has likened to “a digital Fort Knox”, comparing it to the stockpiling of gold bars at the US military base.

特朗普本月早些時候簽署了該儲備金的行政命令，白宮加密貨幣負責人戴維·薩克斯（David Sacks）將其比作“數字諾克斯”，並將其與美國軍事基地的金條儲存。

Gold is held in reserves by countries worldwide as the metal is seen as a safe-haven asset, protecting against financial instability such as high inflation.

黃金在全球範圍內的儲備中持有，因為金屬被視為避風港資產，可防止金融不穩定，例如高通貨膨脹。

The metal on Friday surpassed $3,000 per ounce for the first time, boosted by an uncertain economic outlook amid Trump's tariffs.

週五的金屬首次超過每盎司3,000美元，這是由於特朗普的關稅不確定的經濟前景而推動的。

Gold reserves can help stabilise a country's currency, while bars are used as collateral for loans and transactions.

黃金儲備可以幫助穩定一個國家的貨幣，而酒吧則用作貸款和交易的抵押品。

It is to be funded by about 200,000 bitcoins, worth around $17 billion in total, that have been seized in the United States as a result of civil and criminal cases.

由於民事和刑事案件，它將由約200,000比特幣資助，總價值約170億美元。

The reserve will be virtually secured for an indefinite time.

儲備實際上將無限期地固定。

Additional bitcoin can be added to the reserve as long as such action is "budget-neutral", thus not costing the taxpayer.

只要這種行動是“預算中立”，就可以將其他比特幣添加到儲備金中，從而不會使納稅人付出代價。

According to Aubert, "a big chunk" of the bitcoin held by the United States -- estimated at around 198,000 tokens -- would have to be returned to victims of a hack at crypto exchange Bitfinex in 2016.

據奧伯特（Aubert）稱，美國持有的比特幣的“大部分”（估計約為198,000個令牌）將在2016年退還給Crypto Exchange Bitfinex的Hack受害者。

Sector watchers are also waiting to see if other digital tokens will be added to the reserve, which is possible according to the executive order.

行業觀察者還在等待查看是否將其他數字代幣添加到儲備金中，這是根據行政命令的。

同時，Crypto Platform Coinhouse的投資總監Stephane Ifrah表示，由於有限的2100萬個標記，比特幣像黃金一樣可以從稀有度中獲利。

An advantage of the bitcoin reserve is its transparency, since the level of tokens will be known at all times -- unlike the amount of gold placed in Fort Knox.

比特幣儲備的優勢是它的透明度，因為代幣的水平將始終以始終為單位 - 與諾克斯堡儲存的黃金數量不同。

Additionally, with the bitcoin reserve, "we're dealing with a rare asset that's much more suited to today's world", Ifrah told AFP.

此外，在比特幣儲備中，“我們正在處理一項更適合當今世界的罕見資產”，Ifrah告訴法新社。
