特朗普的“戰略比特幣儲備”未能將行李抽出

加密兄弟希望唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）通過購買BTC代幣來抽出袋子，而是由美國總統的“戰略儲備”計劃拿著袋子。

Crypto bros hoping that Donald Trump would pump their bags by buying BTC tokens were instead left holding the bag by the U.S. president’s ‘strategic reserve’ plan.

加密兄弟希望唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）通過購買BTC代幣來抽出袋子，而是由美國總統的“戰略儲備”計劃拿著袋子。

On March 6, Trump’s A.I. & Crypto Czar David Sacks tweeted that President Trump had signed an executive order “to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.”

3月6日，特朗普的AI＆Crypto沙皇戴維·薩克斯（David Sacks）發推文說，特朗普總統簽署了一項行政命令，“建立戰略性比特幣儲備”。

This reserve “will be capitalized with Bitcoin owned by the federal government that was forfeited as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings. This means it will not cost taxpayers a dime,” Sacks added.

該儲備金“將由聯邦政府擁有的比特幣資本化，該比特幣被沒收，作為刑事或民事資產沒收程序的一部分。這意味著這不會使納稅人一毛錢。”薩克斯補充說。

The administration is planning to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, capitalized with Bitcoin owned by the federal government that was forfeited as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings. This means it will not cost taxpayers a dime. The administration is also establishing a United States Digital Asset Stockpile, consisting of all the tokens other than Bitcoin currently owned by the government, which will be used to build the Bitcoin reserve. Together, these initiatives will create a robust and lasting digital asset strategy for the United States.

政府計劃創建一個戰略性比特幣儲備，該備用比特幣由聯邦政府擁有的比特幣資本，該備用比特幣被沒收，作為刑事或民事資產沒收程序的一部分。這意味著這不會使納稅人一毛錢。政府還建立了美國數字資產庫存，該資產由政府當前所有的比特幣以外的所有代幣組成，該代幣將用於建造比特幣儲備。這些舉措共同為美國創造了強大而持久的數字資產策略。

Sacks revealed that the government currently owns “around 200,000” BTC tokens, but a full accounting of the government’s total digital asset holdings would now be conducted.

薩克斯（Sacks）透露，政府目前擁有“約200,000” BTC代幣，但現在將對政府的數字資產總持有量進行全面考慮。

None of the BTC earmarked for the reserve would be sold, as Sacks claimed the government’s previous sales (of around 195,000 BTC) had resulted in “$17 billion in lost value.”

薩克斯聲稱政府以前的銷售（約19.5萬BTC）的銷售額均未出售，該預備役的BTC都不會出售。

The initial reaction to Sacks’ announcement sent the BTC token’s fiat price above $90,000. However, the price soon plummetered below $86,000 as reality set in that there wouldn’t be any additional BTC purchases.

對薩克斯公告的最初反應使BTC令牌的菲亞特價格高於90,000美元。但是，價格很快下降到86,000美元以下，因為現實設定的價格不會額外購買。

The token briefly bounced back over $90,000 on March 7, but this too proved short-lived and the token was struggling to stay above $80,000 by the afternoon of March 9.

該代幣在3月7日短暫地彈回了90,000美元，但事實證明這也是短暫的，代幣努力在3月9日下午努力保持超過80,000美元。

The executive order also establishes a companion “United States Digital Asset Stockpile” consisting of all the tokens other than BTC currently owned by the government.

該行政命令還建立了一個伴侶“美國數字資產庫存”，該公司由政府當前擁有的BTC以外的所有代幣組成。

While this stockpile likely includes the tokens promoted in Trump’s March 2 Truth Social post that referenced “XRP, SOL, and ADA,” Sacks later told Bloomberg that Trump’s post “just mentioned the top five cryptocurrencies by market cap” and warned about people “reading into this a little bit too much.”

儘管這種庫存可能包括在特朗普的3月2日真相社會帖子中提倡的代幣，該郵報提到了“ XRP，SOL和ADA”，Sacks後來告訴彭博社，特朗普的帖子“剛剛提及了市值的前五名加密貨幣”，並警告人們“對此進行了太多的閱讀。”

The executive order directs the secretaries of the Treasury and Commerce departments to “develop strategies for acquiring additional Government BTC provided that such strategies are budget neutral and do not impose incremental costs on United States taxpayers.”

行政命令指示財政部和商業部門的秘書“制定策略來獲取額外的政府BTC，前提是此類策略是預算中立的，並且不會對美國納稅人施加增量成本”。

There was no equivalent direction regarding the ‘digital asset stockpile,’ to which only tokens subject to criminal or civil asset forfeiture will be added absent “further executive or legislative action.”

關於“數字資產庫存”沒有等效的方向，只有“進一步的執行或立法訴訟”將增加僅犯罪或民事資產沒收的代幣。

BTC bagholders had invested much of their hopes in Trump announcing plans to use taxpayer funds to buy a million or more tokens, so the ensuing price slump was understandable. BTC maximalists are now seizing on the idea of what ‘budget neutral’ actions might result in the government acquiring additional BTC tokens.

BTC行李箱持有人投入了很多希望，宣布計劃使用納稅人資金購買一百萬或更多的代幣，因此隨後的價格低迷是可以理解的。 BTC最大化主義者現在正在抓住關於“預算中立”行動可能導致政府獲得額外BTC代幣的想法。

On March 7, Sacks said ‘budget neutral’ meant “it won’t cost the taxpayer anything. It won’t increase the deficit, it won’t increase the debt.”

薩克斯在3月7日說“預算中立”意味著“這不會使納稅人損失任何東西。它不會增加赤字，不會增加債務。”

Asked whether budget savings from Elon Musk’s controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) might represent taxpayer savings that could be applied to buying BTC, Sacks said he didn’t know the answer to that question.

當被問及埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）備受爭議的政府效率部（DOGE）中節省的預算是否可能代表可用於購買BTC的納稅人節省，薩克斯說他不知道該問題的答案。

Sacks added that Treasury Secretary Bessent and his team “will be able to exercise portfolio management” over the digital assets under the government’s control.

Sacks補充說，財政部長Bessent和他的團隊“將能夠在政府控制下的數字資產上行使投資組合管理”。

As far as the non-BTC tokens are concerned, “that could include staking, it could include rebalancing, it could include sales. These are all options that they can pursue.”

就非BTC代幣而言，“可能包括股權，其中可能包括重新平衡，其中可能包括銷售。這些都是他們可以追求的選擇。”

In a separate interview, Sacks suggested one way that the government might acquire more BTC is by selling its ETH (the Ethereum network’s native token). The government is believed to hold nearly 46,000 ETH worth a total of $91 million, although that’s a relative drop in the bucket that would be unlikely to move BTC’s price very far.

在另一次採訪中，薩克斯提出了一種方式，即政府可能獲得更多BTC的方法是出售其ETH（以太坊網絡的本地令牌）。據信政府將持有近46,000 ETH的總價值9100萬美元，儘管這是相對下降的水庫下降，這不太可能將BTC的價格轉移得很遠。

On March 7, Bessent told CNBC that the first element of the reserve strategy was to “stop the selling” of any BTC under the government’s control. After that, “we’ll see what the way forward is for more acquisitions for the reserves.”

3月7日，Bessent告訴CNBC，預備役策略的第一個要素是在政府控制下“停止銷售”任何BTC。之後，“我們將看到更多的儲備收購的前進之路。”

Asked about how taxpayers would view any plans to buy additional BTC, Bessent simply repeated that it was a matter for future discussion.

當被問及納稅人如何看待購買額外BTC的任何計劃時，Bessent只是重複說這是將來討論的問題。

Rep. French Hill (R-AR), the chairman of the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee, tweeted his approval of Trump’s executive order while encouraging Trump’s team “to collaborate with Congress, particularly in regard to the structure and funding” of the
