Trump's Bitcoin Stockpile Plan Would Have 'Positive Impact' On Crypto Prices, But Would Leave Investors Exposed If Government Decides To Sell, Says Expert
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has stirred the crypto community with his proposal for a state Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) reserve. The plan, announced at a crypto convention in Nashville, Tennessee, suggests that the U.S. government should retain all Bitcoin it currently holds or acquires in the future.
共和黨總統候選人唐納德·特朗普提議設立國家比特幣（加密貨幣：BTC）儲備，這激起了加密社區。該計劃在田納西州納什維爾的一次加密會議上宣佈，表明美國政府將來應保留其目前持有或收購的所有比特幣。
What Happened: Mark Connors, head of global macro at Onramp Bitcoin, suggested that a government Bitcoin stockpile could bolster Bitcoin's price.
發生了什麼：Onramp Bitcoin全球宏觀主管馬克·康納斯表示，政府的比特幣儲備可能會提振比特幣的價格。
"It would have a positive impact on price. It would have to because we've never had such a limited supply commodity, albeit digital, assume a new state of a reserve asset," he said.
“這將對價格產生積極影響。他說，由於我們從未有過供應如此有限的大宗商品，儘管是數字化的，因此必須假設儲備資產處於新的狀態。”
However, this would also mean fewer tokens available for crypto investors to trade, potentially exposing them to risk if the government decides to sell part of its reserves.
但是，這也意味着可供加密投資者交易的代幣減少，如果政府決定出售部分儲備，他們可能會面臨風險。
Connors suggested that the Federal Reserve can manage the stockpile for the Treasury Department.
康納斯建議，聯儲局可以爲財政部管理庫存。
Trump's plan is not the first of its kind. U.S. Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) has proposed similar legislation for the U.S. government to purchase one million Bitcoins, and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr suggested a government stockpile of four million Bitcoins.
特朗普的計劃並不是同類計劃中的第一個。美國參議員辛西婭·盧米斯（R-Wyo。）也提出了類似的立法，要求美國政府購買一百萬個比特幣，獨立候選人小羅伯特·肯尼迪建議政府儲備400萬個比特幣。
The U.S. government currently holds approximately $11.1 billion worth of crypto, including 203,239 Bitcoin tokens, largely acquired from criminal seizures. This represents about 1% of the total global bitcoin supply.
美國政府目前持有價值約111億美元的加密貨幣，其中包括203,239枚比特幣代幣，主要是通過犯罪扣押獲得的。這約佔全球比特幣總供應量的1％。
Why It Matters: Trump's proposal follows his previous statements at the Bitcoin 2024 conference, where he declared that Bitcoin and crypto would "skyrocket like never before" if he returned to power. Trump also promised to fire current SEC Chair Gary Gensler on his first day in office.
爲何重要：特朗普的提議遵循了他之前在2024年比特幣會議上的聲明，他在聲明中宣稱，如果他重新掌權，比特幣和加密貨幣將 “以前所未有的方式飛漲”。特朗普還承諾在現任美國證券交易委員會主席加里·根斯勒上任的第一天就解僱他。
Trump's plan to establish a national bitcoin stockpile has left economists and financial experts skeptical. The proposal comes amid the 2024 presidential race, where the campaign for America's frontline fintech adopters is gaining traction.
特朗普建立全國比特幣儲備的計劃使經濟學家和金融專家持懷疑態度。該提案是在2024年總統大選期間提出的，當時針對美國一線金融科技採用者的競選活動越來越受歡迎。
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading 3.60% higher at $56,030.30, according to Benzinga Pro.
