Do You Know Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Has Positions In This Lesser-Known Crypto-Friendly Bank? Here's How The Stock Has Performed This Year
Legendary Wall Street investor Warren Buffett's anti-cryptocurrency stance doesn't need an introduction, and the "Oracle of Omaha" has consistently professed a complete lack of interest in the asset class.
傳奇華爾街投資者禾倫·巴菲特對數字貨幣的反對立場無需介紹，「奧馬哈的先知」一直表明對這一資產類別完全沒有興趣。
Even the launch of the hugely popular spot exchange-traded funds linked to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) couldn't sway Buffett's opinion.
即使是與比特幣（CRYPTO: BTC）和以太幣（CRYPTO: ETH）相關的極受歡迎的現貨交易型基金的推出也無法改變巴菲特的看法。
However, you might be surprised to learn that his firm, Berkshire Hathaway, has made significant investments in a lesser-known cryptocurrency-friendly firm.
然而，你可能會驚訝地發現，他的公司伯克希爾·哈撒韋已經對一家較少人知曉的支持數字貨幣的公司進行了重大投資。
What happened: Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:NU), a Brazil-based holding company providing digital banking services, fares on the list of Berkshire Hathaway's acquisitions.
發生了什麼：總部位於巴西的控股公司Nu Holdings Ltd.（紐交所：NU），提供數字銀行服務，名列伯克希爾·哈撒韋的收購名單。
The bank launched its cryptocurrency arm, Nubank Cripto, in 2022, allowing customers to send and receive cryptocurrency assets directly from their wallets.
該銀行於2022年推出了其數字貨幣部門Nubank Cripto，允許客戶直接從他們的錢包發送和接收數字貨幣資產。
The platform initially started with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Polygon (CRYPTO: MATIC), which later expanded to include coins such as Uniswap (CRYPTO: UNI) and Chainlink (CRYPTO: LINK). Users can also convert their cryptocurrencies to stablecoins like USD Coin (CRYPTO: USDC).
該平台最初支持比特幣、以太幣和Polygon（CRYPTO: MATIC），後來擴展包括Uniswap（CRYPTO: UNI）和Chainlink（CRYPTO: LINK）等幣種。用戶還可以將他們的數字貨幣轉換爲穩定幣，例如美元指數（CRYPTO: USDC）。
According to the company's latest 13F filing, Berkshire Hathaway held 86,438,997 shares of Nu Holdings, translating to a market value of $1.17 billion.
根據該公司的最新13F文件，伯克希爾·哈撒韋持有86,438,997股Nu Holdings，市值爲$11.7億。
Over the last year, the stock has grown 40.23%, and more than 47% since 2024 began.
在過去一年中，該股票增長了40.23%，自2024年開始以來增長了超過47%。
Why It Matters: While one could argue that Buffett invested in a firm whose core business wasn't tied around cryptocurrencies, the choice nonetheless provided an interesting contrast to his typically negative views on the asset.
重要性所在：雖然有人可能會爭辯說，巴菲特投資的是一家與數字貨幣沒有直接關係的公司，但這一選擇與他通常對該資產持負面看法形成了有趣的對比。
Well, fair warning. Buffett's views might not be music to your ears if you are a cryptocurrency aficionado.
好吧，公平警告。如果你是數字貨幣愛好者，巴菲特的觀點可能聽起來不太悅耳。
"In terms of cryptocurrencies generally, I can say almost with certainty that they will come to a bad ending," he said back in 2018.
他說：「就數字貨幣而言，我幾乎可以肯定它們將以悲慘的結局告終。」這是他在2018年說的。
During Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting in 2018, Buffett described Bitcoin as "probably rat poison squared."
在2018年伯克希爾哈撒韋的年度股東大會上，巴菲特將比特幣形容爲「可能是老鼠藥的平方」。
Price Action: Nu Holdings stock closed 2.20% lower at $11.99 during Thursday's regular session, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
價格動態：根據Benzinga Pro的數據，Nu Holdings的股票在週四的常規交易中收盤下跌2.20%，報11.99美元。
