特朗普的财政部长可能会支持比特币

据报道，亿万富翁对冲基金经理斯科特·贝森特将自己定位为唐纳德·特朗普政府财政部长的主要候选人。

Scott Bessent, a billionaire hedge fund manager, is reportedly positioning himself as the leading candidate for Treasury Secretary under a Donald Trump administration.

据报道，亿万富翁对冲基金经理斯科特·贝森特将自己定位为唐纳德·特朗普政府财政部长的主要候选人。

The report, titled “Top Trump Fundraiser Lines Himself Up for Treasury Secretary,” indicates that Bessent has been actively canvassing candidates to serve as his deputies. As a key economic adviser to Trump, Bessent is widely regarded as a top contender for the Treasury position.

这份题为“特朗普顶级筹款人为财政部长做准备”的报告表明，贝森特一直在积极游说担任副手的候选人。作为特朗普的重要经济顾问，贝森特被广泛认为是财政部职位的顶级竞争者。

With a storied career as a hedge fund investor and former Yale University lecturer, he has cultivated a close relationship with the former president. Bessent is known for his support of laissez-faire economic policies reminiscent of the pre-Trump Republican Party. However, he has also praised Trump’s use of tariffs as a strategic negotiating tool, aligning with the president-elect’s economic philosophy that is skeptical of regulations and international trade.

作为对冲基金投资者和前耶鲁大学讲师，他有着传奇的职业生涯，与前总统建立了密切的关系。贝森特以支持自由放任的经济政策而闻名，这让人想起特朗普之前的共和党。不过，他也赞扬特朗普利用关税作为战略谈判工具，这符合当选总统对监管和国际贸易持怀疑态度的经济理念。

Notably, Bessent has emerged as a strong advocate for Bitcoin and the broader crypto industry. In an interview from June, he expressed enthusiasm about the intersection of crypto and Republican values.

值得注意的是，Bessent 已成为比特币和更广泛的加密行业的坚定倡导者。在 6 月份的一次采访中，他表达了对加密货币和共和党价值观交集的热情。

“I have been excited about the president’s embrace of crypto and I think it fits very well with the Republican Party, crypto is about freedom in the crypto economy is here to stay,” he said.

他说：“我对总统对加密货币的拥抱感到兴奋，我认为这非常适合共和党，加密货币意味着加密经济中的自由将继续存在。”

Bessent also commented on the Democratic Party’s stance toward cryptocurrency, suggesting they are distancing themselves due to the fallout from Sam Bankman-Fried‘s alleged misconduct and his family’s donations. Bessent criticized their willingness “to take on the whole industry because of the bad behavior of one actor.”

贝森特还评论了民主党对加密货币的立场，暗示由于萨姆·班克曼-弗里德涉嫌不当行为及其家人捐款的影响，他们正在疏远自己。贝森特批评他们“因为一个演员的不良行为而愿意挑战整个行业”。

Moreover, he made a clear statement pro-Bitcoin: “I think everything is on the table with Bitcoin.” Highlighting the potential of Bitcoin to engage a new generation of investors, Bessent stated: “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.”

此外，他还明确表态支持比特币：“我认为一切都可以与比特币讨论。”贝森特强调了比特币吸引新一代投资者的潜力，他表示：“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。”

The potential appointment of Bessent can be seen as pivotal for the possible establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve as proposed by Trump during the Bitcoin 2024 conference—a decision in which the Treasury Secretary would play a crucial role. As reported earlier today, Trump could initiate this move within his first 100 days in office to prevent other nations from gaining a competitive advantage according to BTC Inc. CEO David Bailey.

Bessent 的潜在任命可以被视为特朗普在比特币 2024 会议期间提出的可能建立比特币战略储备的关键，而财政部长将在这一决定中发挥关键作用。据 BTC Inc. 首席执行官 David Bailey 称，正如今天早些时候报道的那样，特朗普可能会在上任的头 100 天内启动这一举措，以阻止其他国家获得竞争优势。

Renowned crypto analyst MacroScope (@MacroScope17) highlighted the massive significance of the latest developments via X: “In the months before the election, I said BTC wasn’t pricing in a Trump win. I think this continues to be largely true, especially regarding potential policy outcomes that would go beyond the strategic national reserve. Speculation is going around about this, and it will get louder. Asset managers—especially aggressive traders and hedge funds—should be laser-focused on watching how this develops. Career-making for those who get it right.”

著名加密货币分析师 MacroScope (@MacroScope17) 通过 X 强调了最新进展的巨大意义：“在大选前的几个月里，我说过 BTC 并没有反映出特朗普的胜利。我认为这在很大程度上仍然是正确的，特别是对于超出国家战略储备范围的潜在政策结果。关于此事的猜测正在流传，而且会越来越响。资产管理者——尤其是激进的交易员和对冲基金——应该密切关注事态的发展。为那些做对的人创造职业生涯。”
