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.
羅賓漢市場公司（納斯達克股票代碼：HOOD）首席執行官弗拉基米爾·特內夫週一表示，該公司不排除出於投資目的在資產負債表上持有比特幣（加密貨幣：BTC）的前景，但有一些因素需要考慮。
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.
發生了什麼：在接受著名的加密貨幣倡導者安東尼·龐普利亞諾採訪時，特內夫表示，這個想法之所以出現，是因爲該公司越來越多地參與加密貨幣領域。
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.
他說，該公司爲其核心交易業務購買加密貨幣。首席執行官補充說：「我們必須做好會計覈算工作，而且無論如何它基本上都在資產負債表上，所以這是有真正原因的。」

"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."
關於僅出於投資目的持有比特幣的問題，Tenev認爲這可能會使公開市場投資者的事情 「複雜化」。「總的來說，你將RobinHood視爲一家公司。把它看作是一家公司並不是會讓情況變得複雜，還有這種準比特幣的控股遊戲。」

Tenev emphasized that Robinhood stock is already highly correlated to Bitcoin even without the firm holding the asset on its books.
特內夫強調，即使Robinhood的賬面上沒有持有該資產，該公司的股票也已經與比特幣高度相關。
"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.
「所以我想說我們不排除這種情況。到目前爲止，我們還沒有這樣做，但這就是我們的考慮因素，」 他補充說。
