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：HOOD）首席執行官弗拉基米爾·特涅夫週一表示，公司不排除出於投資目的在資產負債表上持有比特幣（數字貨幣：BTC）的可能性，但還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：在與著名數字貨幣倡導者安東尼·龐普力亞諾的採訪中，特涅夫表示，這個想法是由於公司在數字貨幣領域日益增長的參與度而提出的。
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，公司爲其核心交易業務購買數字貨幣。「我們必須爲此做會計工作，反正它基本上在資產負債表上，所以這確實是有原因的，」首席執行官補充道。

在是否僅僅出於投資目的持有比特幣的問題上，特涅夫認爲這可能會「複雜化」公開市場投資者的情況。「你思考的是羅賓漢作爲一家公司，總體而言，並不是說把它視爲一種公司就會複雜化情況，但還有這種準比特幣持有的做法。」

Tenev emphasized that Robinhood stock is already highly correlated to Bitcoin even without the firm holding the asset on its books.
特涅夫強調，即使公司未在賬面上持有該資產，羅賓漢股票與比特幣的相關性已經非常高。
"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.
"所以我會說我們不會排除這個可能性。到目前爲止我們還沒有這樣做，但這些是我們考慮的因素，"他補充道。
