在美国建立了“战略比特币储备”，这进一步证明了唐纳德·特朗普总统对加密货币部门的支持。

President Donald Trump is putting the finishing touches on a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which will be funded by nearly 200,000 bitcoins seized by the US in civil and criminal cases, and will be locked away for an indefinite time, it can be revealed.

唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统正在对战略性比特币保护区进行最后的修饰，这将由美国民事和刑事案件中抓住的近20万比特币资助，并将无限期地锁定，这可以透露。

The move comes as Trump prepares to leave office and is further proof of the president’s support for the cryptocurrency sector.

此举是因为特朗普准备离开任职，并进一步证明了总统对加密货币部门的支持。

Earlier this month, Trump signed an 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.

本月早些时候，特朗普签署了一项行政命令，建立了该保护区，白宫加密货币负责人戴维·萨克斯（David Sacks）将其比作“数字诺克斯”，将其与美国军事基地的金条库存进行了比较。

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.

黄金在全球范围内的储备中持有，因为金属被视为避风港资产，可防止金融不稳定，例如高通货膨胀。

The metal on Friday surpassed $3,000 per ounce for the first time, being pushed by an uncertain economic outlook amid Trump’s tariffs and a strong dollar.

周五的金属首次超过每盎司3,000美元，在特朗普的关税和强劲的美元中，经济前景不确定。

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

黄金储备可以帮助稳定一个国家的货币，而酒吧则用作贷款和交易的抵押品。

How will US bitcoin reserve work?

我们比特币储备将如何工作？

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

比特币储备应由约200,000比特币资助，总价值约为170亿美元，这是由于民事和刑事案件在美国占领的。

The reserve will be virtually secured for an indefinite time.

储备实际上将无限期地固定。

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

只要此类行动是“预算中立”，就可以将其他比特币添加到储备金中，从而不会使纳税人付出代价。

Announced at 12:00GMT.

在12：00gmt宣布。

Its purpose is to accrue any bitcoin seized in legal cases by the US government and place it in an account that will be virtually secured for an indefinite time.

它的目的是累积美国政府在法律案件中抓住的任何比特币，并将其置于无限期的账户中。

The reserve will be funded by about 200,000 bitcoins, which were seized in the US as a result of civil and criminal cases.

该储备将由约200,000比特币资助，这是民事和刑事案件在美国扣押的。

The coins will be valued at around $17 billion.

硬币的价值约为170亿美元。

Additional bitcoin can be added to the reserve as long as such action is “budget-neutral”, which means no taxpayer dollars will be spent to buy more coins.

只要这样的行动是“预算中立”，就可以将其他比特币添加到预备役中，这意味着不会花任何纳税人的钱来购买更多硬币。

However, any bitcoin that is lost through a hack or other illicit activity will be replaced by the government.

但是，通过黑客或其他非法活动丢失的任何比特币将由政府取代。

The executive order also permits other digital tokens to be added to the reserve.

行政命令还允许将其他数字代币添加到保护区。

Trump has previously indicated that bitcoin’s nearest rival, ether (ETH), along with three other tokens — XRP, Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA)— could be included.

Why is bitcoin different from gold?

为什么比特币与黄金不同？

A number of critics have pointed out that, unlike gold, cryptocurrencies are volatile and speculative assets that have no intrinsic value.

许多批评家指出，与黄金不同，加密货币是挥发性和投机性资产，没有内在价值。

However, Sacks believes that by storing bitcoin over time, the government would be able to diversify its portfolio and protect itself from the cryptocurrency’s massive short-term volatility.

但是，萨克斯认为，随着时间的流逝，政府将能够多样化其投资组合并保护自己免受加密货币的巨大短期波动。

Meanwhile, Stéphane Ifrah, an investment director at crypto platform Coinhouse, said that bitcoin, like gold, can profit from its scarcity thanks to a limited 21 million tokens.

同时，Crypto Platform Coinhouse的投资总监StéphaneIfrah表示，由于有限的2100万个代币，比特币像黄金一样可以从稀缺中获利。

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 that is purportedly placed in Fort Knox.

比特币储备的优点是它的透明度，因为代币的水平将始终闻名 - 与据称放置在诺克斯堡的黄金数量不同。

Additionally, with the bitcoin reserve, “we’re dealing with a rare asset that’s much more suited to today’s world”, Ifrah told.

此外，在比特币保护区中，“我们正在处理一项更适合当今世界的罕见资产”。

Prominent cryptocurrency critic, Molly White, believes the “true reason” for the reserve “is a way to drive interest in the crypto industry”, which could financially benefit investors.

著名的加密货币评论家莫莉·怀特（Molly White）认为，储备金的“真正原因”是“一种引起加密货币行业兴趣的方式”，这可能会对投资者有利。
