of the digital asset.</p><p><blockquote>特斯拉公司成为最新一家在比特币投资的大公司，凸显了数字资产越来越被接受。</blockquote></p><p> The big question observers are asking is, why is the Elon Musk-run company doing this?</p><p><blockquote>观察人士提出的最大问题是，埃隆·马斯克经营的公司为什么要这样做？</blockquote></p><p> Monday, electric-car maker Tesla said in a public filing that it purchased $1.5 billion of bitcoin and that it expects to begin accepting payment in the cryptocurrency for its products in the future.</p><p><blockquote>周一，电动汽车制造商特斯拉在一份公开文件中表示，它收购了价值 15 亿美元的比特币，并预计未来将开始接受加密货币支付其产品。</blockquote></p><p> The move by Tesla to invest in bitcoins was seen as further confirmation of the legitimacy of the nascent asset that didn’t exist until about 12 years ago.</p><p><blockquote>特斯拉投资比特币的举动被视为进一步证实了这种新兴资产的合法性，而这种资产直到大约 12 年前才存在。</blockquote></p><p> However, bitcoin is seen as a volatile asset that is prone to sharp price volatility and Monday’s announcement by Tesla was described by some corporate finance professionals as an unnecessary addition of risk to the vehicle maker’s balance sheet in the form of currency or a commodity, depending on how you classify bitcoin.</p><p><blockquote>然而，比特币被视为一种不稳定的资产，容易出现价格剧烈波动，一些企业财务专业人士认为，特斯拉周一的公告以货币或商品的形式给这家汽车制造商的资产负债表增加了不必要的风险，这取决于你如何对比特币进行分类。</blockquote></p><p> While it’s not clear, at this point, why Musk & Co. have opted to expose the company to the possible risk of owning bitcoin, here are a few reasons why the revolutionary company may have aligned itself with the crypto crowd.</p><p><blockquote>虽然目前还不清楚马斯克公司为何选择让公司面临拥有比特币的可能风险，但以下是这家革命性公司可能与加密货币人群结盟的几个原因。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Diversification</b></p><p><blockquote><b>多元化</b></blockquote></p><p> Tesla made it clear in its statement filed with its regulator the Securities and Exchange Commission that it sees bitcoin as a chance to diversify its cash and cash-equivalent holdings.</p><p><blockquote>特斯拉在提交给监管机构美国证券交易委员会的声明中明确表示，它将比特币视为实现现金和现金等价物持有多元化的机会。</blockquote></p><p> Corporations usually hold excess cash and/or cash-equivalents, like Treasury bills or commercial paper on their books to provide operational liquidity and generate returns while limiting risks.</p><p><blockquote>公司通常在账面上持有多余的现金和/或现金等价物，如国库券或商业票据，以提供运营流动性并产生回报，同时限制风险。</blockquote></p><p> Tesla wrote, “we updated our investment policy to provide us with more flexibility to further diversify and maximize returns on our cash that is not required to maintain adequate operating liquidity.”</p><p><blockquote>特斯拉写道：“我们更新了投资政策，为我们提供了更大的灵活性，以进一步实现多元化，并最大限度地提高现金回报，而维持充足的运营流动性并不需要这些回报。”</blockquote></p><p> The move isn’t without risk, Tesla acknowledges as the price of bitcoin could slump.</p><p><blockquote>特斯拉承认，此举并非没有风险，因为比特币的价格可能会暴跌。</blockquote></p><p> “If we hold digital assets and their values decrease relative to our purchase prices, our financial condition may be harmed,” the company acknowledges.</p><p><blockquote>“该公司承认：”如果我们持有数字资产，而其价值相对于我们的购买价格下降，我们的财务状况可能会受到损害。</blockquote></p><p> But a single bitcoin, which has soared 62% so far this year, could easily be headed for a six-digit value if bullish momentum continues to build, which would make Musk look smart.</p><p><blockquote>但今年迄今为止已飙升 62% 的单一比特币很容易达到六位数，如果看涨势头继续增强，这将使马斯克看起来很聪明。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Publicity stunt?</b></p><p><blockquote><b>宣传噱头？</b></blockquote></p><p> “Thankfully, Elon Musk on Monday once again ensured no one would be bored, with the unexpected announcement that Tesla will buy bitcoin and accept them as payment for vehicles,” writes Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at Oanda, in a Tuesday research note.</p><p><blockquote>“Oanda 高级市场分析师 Craig Erlam 在周二的一份研究报告中写道：”值得庆幸的是，埃隆-马斯克（Elon Musk）周一再次确保了没有人会感到无聊，他出人意料地宣布特斯拉将收购比特币并接受其作为汽车付款。</blockquote></p><p> The analyst referred to the move as a “publicity stunt,” a move that everbody is talking about, but there are a number of ways to think about it.</p><p><blockquote>这位分析师将此举称为 “宣传噱头”，这是每个人都在谈论的举动，但有很多方法可以思考。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Brand

Inc. has become the latest major corporation to make an investment in bitcoin, underscoring the increasing acceptability of the digital asset.\nThe big question observers are asking is, why is the Elon Musk-run company doing this?\nMonday, electric-car maker Tesla said in a public filing that it purchased $1.5 billion of bitcoin and that it expects to begin accepting payment in the cryptocurrency for its products in the future.\nThe move by Tesla to invest in bitcoins was seen as further confirmation of the legitimacy of the nascent asset that didn’t exist until about 12 years ago.\nHowever, bitcoin is seen as a volatile asset that is prone to sharp price volatility and Monday’s announcement by Tesla was described by some corporate finance professionals as an unnecessary addition of risk to the vehicle maker’s balance sheet in the form of currency or a commodity, depending on how you classify bitcoin.\nWhile it’s not clear, at this point, why Musk & Co. have opted to expose the company to the possible risk of owning bitcoin, here are a few reasons why the revolutionary company may have aligned itself with the crypto crowd.\nDiversification\nTesla made it clear in its statement filed with its regulator the Securities and Exchange Commission that it sees bitcoin as a chance to diversify its cash and cash-equivalent holdings.\nCorporations usually hold excess cash and/or cash-equivalents, like Treasury bills or commercial paper on their books to provide operational liquidity and generate returns while limiting risks.\nTesla wrote, “we updated our investment policy to provide us with more flexibility to further diversify and maximize returns on our cash that is not required to maintain adequate operating liquidity.”\nThe move isn’t without risk, Tesla acknowledges as the price of bitcoin could slump.\n“If we hold digital assets and their values decrease relative to our purchase prices, our financial condition may be harmed,” the company acknowledges.\nBut a single bitcoin, which has soared 62% so far this year, could easily be headed for a six-digit value if bullish momentum continues to build, which would make Musk look smart.\nPublicity stunt?\n“Thankfully, Elon Musk on Monday once again ensured no one would be bored, with the unexpected announcement that Tesla will buy bitcoin and accept them as payment for vehicles,” writes Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at Oanda, in a Tuesday research note.\nThe analyst referred to the move as a “publicity stunt,” a move that everbody is talking about, but there are a number of ways to think about it.\nBrand management\nBitcoin is associated with a group of iconoclastic founders who were attempting to break the mold on payments and fiat money. That was the idea behind cryptos being written into code back in 2009 by a person or persons known as Satoshi Nakamoto.\nThose rebellious notions align somewhat with Musk’s own agenda of disruption. Tesla is making electric-powered vehicles in a world that has thus far been dominated by fossil-fuel driven cars.\nMoreover, Tesla’s direct-to-customer sales model also is viewed as trendsetting, since many companies sell their cars through unaffiliated dealerships.\nBitcoin’s image as a decentralized asset, not controlled by any one body, also fits with Tesla’s image and that of its leader Musk.\n\nThe future of $\nTesla’s $1.5 billion investment in bitcoin could also be a simple hedge against the hegemony of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency since World War Two.\nBitcoin, or something like it, represents the future of payment systems to many supporters, even if it isn’t currently an effective means of exchange due to its current volatility.\n“Yesterday’s move by Tesla to invest in bitcoin and start accepting it as payment for its own products really moved the needle,” wrote Simon Peters, cryptoasset analyst at multiasset investment platform eToro, in emailed comments.\nThe eToro analyst said that there are unconfirmed talks about technology behemoths Apple Inc. and Google-parent Alphabet Inc.,linking it to their own payment systems.\nMusk is viewed as an innovator tied to electric vehicles, batteries and space exploration via SpaceX, but one of his early ventures was in payments.\nWriting on the wall\nThe Wall Street Journal notes that, the Tesla CEO invested most of the $22 million he earned from the sale of an internet business into a new startup, X.com, which became PayPal Holdings about 20 years ago.\nPayPal currently is among the vanguard of bitcoin revolution. PayPal back in November opened up its cryptocurrency platform to all U.S. customers after conducting a more narrow rollout.\nMoreover, several high-profile Wall Street investors, including Stanley Druckenmiller and Paul Tudor Jones, have embraced bitcoin. Famed investor Bill Miller, founder of Miller Value Partners, in a letter to clients earlier this month published on the firm’s website, reaffirmed his bullish outlook on bitcoin.\nIn other words, Tesla and Musk may be among the biggest to wade into the crypto pool, but a growing cadre of investors are starting to view the volatile digital-ledger-backed cryptos as a bona fide asset.\n“Corporate adoption takes another leap forward with Tesla announcement,” writes Devin Ryan, analyst at JMP Securities in a Monday research note.\nThe researcher, along with fellow analyst Brian McKenna, noted they “believe the building ‘network effect’ around bitcoin is moving the broader crypto asset class into the mainstream, and with many hundreds of billions of dollars of value in infrastructure supporting the asset class, we see the already substantial (and growing) vested interest in its success as bullish for the industry.”\nOn Tuesday, bitcoin touched a record high around $48,000 before pulling back, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average,the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite indexes have seen relatively tepid trade on the day.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"BTCmain":0.9,"TSLA":0.9,"XBTmain":0.9,"GBTC":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":635,"commentLimit":10,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"symbols":[],"verified":2,"subType":0,"readableState":1,"langContent":"EN","currentLanguage":"EN","warmUpFlag":false,"orderFlag":false,"shareable":true,"causeOfNotShareable":"","featuresForAnalytics":[],"commentAndTweetFlag":false,"andRepostAutoSelectedFlag":false,"upFlag":false,"length":5,"subscribersOnly":false,"subscribersOnlyAccessible":false,"xxTargetLangEnum":"ORIG"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"isTiger":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"url":"/m/post/388734279"}
