Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev Says Open To Holding Bitcoin For Investment Purposes But It Could 'Complicate' Things For Investors
On the question of solely holding Bitcoin for investment purposes, Tenev argued that this could possibly "complicate" things for public market investors. "You're thinking about RobinHood as a company, generally speaking. Not like it complicates the picture to think of it as like a company, but also this quasi-Bitcoin holding play."Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:HOOD) CEO Vladimir Tenev said Monday that the company doesn't rule out the prospect of holding Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) on the balance sheet for investment purposes, but there are some factors to consider.
罗宾汉市场公司（纳斯达克：HOOD）首席执行官弗拉基米尔·特涅夫周一表示，公司不排除出于投资目的在资产负债表上持有比特币（数字货币：BTC）的可能性，但还有一些因素需要考虑。
What Happened: In an interview with Anthony Pompliano, a well-known cryptocurrency advocate, Tenev indicated that the idea came up due to the company's growing involvement in the cryptocurrency space.
发生了什么：在与著名数字货币倡导者安东尼·庞普力亚诺的采访中，特涅夫表示，这个想法是由于公司在数字货币领域日益增长的参与度而提出的。
He said that the company buys cryptocurrencies for its core trading business. "We have to do the work of accounting for it, and it's essentially on the balance sheet anyway, so there's a real reason for it," the CEO added.
他表示，公司为其核心交易业务购买数字货币。“我们必须为此做会计工作，反正它基本上在资产负债表上，所以这确实是有原因的，”首席执行官补充道。

在是否仅仅出于投资目的持有比特币的问题上，特涅夫认为这可能会“复杂化”公开市场投资者的情况。“你思考的是罗宾汉作为一家公司，总体而言，并不是说把它视为一种公司就会复杂化情况，但还有这种准比特币持有的做法。”

Tenev emphasized that Robinhood stock is already highly correlated to Bitcoin even without the firm holding the asset on its books.
特涅夫强调，即使公司未在账面上持有该资产，罗宾汉股票与比特币的相关性已经非常高。
"So I would say we wouldn't rule it out. We haven't done it thus far but those are the kind of considerations we have," he added.
"所以我会说我们不会排除这个可能性。到目前为止我们还没有这样做，但这些是我们考虑的因素，"他补充道。
