对冲基金 Key Square Capital Management 的创始人、比特币倡导者斯科特·贝森特 (Scott Bessent) 被当选总统唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 选为财政部长提名人

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.

当选总统唐纳德·特朗普提名对冲基金 Key Square Capital Management 创始人、比特币倡导者斯科特·贝森特 (Scott Bessent) 为财政部长提名人。

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.

这项提名将使贝森特在制定与数字资产相关的美国经济政策方面拥有重大发言权，包括创建国家比特币库存的可能性。

“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.

“斯科特长期以来一直是美国第一议程的坚定倡导者。在我们伟大国家成立 250 周年纪念前夕，他将帮助我开创美国的新黄金时代，同时我们将始终巩固我们作为世界领先经济体、创新和创业中心、资本目的地的地位。据美国有线电视新闻网报道，特朗普周五在一份声明中表示：“毫无疑问，维持美元作为世界储备货币的地位。”

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.

这位 62 岁的亿万富翁曾在竞选期间为特朗普提供经济政策建议，此前曾在索罗斯基金管理公司因主导英镑和日元的盈利交易而崭露头角。

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.

如果得到确认，贝森特将监督财政部的广泛投资组合，包括经济议程、税收管理、债务管理和金融监管。他面临着迫在眉睫的挑战，包括接近 36 万亿美元的联邦债务上限、共和党 2017 年减税条款的到期以及落实特朗普的竞选承诺。

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.

贝森特呼吁放松管制、减税和“解决债务负担”，他将其归咎于“四年来的鲁莽支出”。他此前曾宣称，特朗普新政府将支持强势美元，而不是寻求美元贬值。

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.

此次提名可能标志着美国数字资产政策的变化，包括可能建立比特币战略储备——特朗普在 7 月份的比特币 2024 会议主题演讲中提到了这一想法。

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.

据福克斯商业频道的 Eleanor Terrett 称，Bessent“非常支持加密货币”。他的信念是“加密经济将继续存在”，并且它与共和党的价值观非常吻合。

“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.”

贝森特在特雷特分享的一份声明中表示：“我认为比特币的一切都已摆在桌面上。” “比特币最令人兴奋的事情之一是它吸引了年轻人和那些以前没有参与过市场的人。在美国培育市场文化，让人们相信适合他们的制度，是资本主义的核心。”

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

本周早些时候，特朗普任命以支持比特币和稳定币而闻名的霍华德·卢特尼克(Howard Lutnick)为商务部长提名人，之后选择贝森特担任财政部长。
