30亿美元比特币合资计划!美商务部长之子主导,瞄准下一个微策略。

原文作者:KarenZ,Foresight News

在特朗普政府对加密货币释放积极政策信号的背景下,美国金融服务巨头 Cantor Fitzgerald 正联合软银集团、稳定币发行商 Tether 及其关联交易所 Bitfinex,共同筹备一项规模达 30 亿美元的比特币合资企业,旨在抓住特朗普政府对加密货币宽松政策的机遇,复制 Strategy 通过投资比特币实现市值激增的成功模式。这一动作被视为传统金融资本加速拥抱数字货币市场的标志性事件。

交易细节如何?

据《金融时报》援引三位知情人士透露,这只名为 Cantor Equity Partners 的特殊目的收购公司(SPAC)由 Cantor Fitzgerald 现任董事长 Brandon Lutnick 主导。Brandon Lutnick 是美国现任商务部长 Howard Lutnick 之子,在 Howard Lutnick 于 2025 年 2 月卸任 Cantor Fitzgerald 董事长并出任商务部长后,Brandon Lutnick 接任该公司董事长一职。

作为一家成立于 1945 年的老牌金融服务公司,Cantor Fitzgerald 专注于机构股权、固定收益销售与交易、投资银行、房地产融资和经纪服务,近两年积极拓展加密货币与传统金融的融合。2024 年 7 月,Cantor Fitzgerald 宣布计划推出比特币融资业务,将推出 20 亿美元的贷款,并会根据需要分批增加 20 亿美元的贷款额度,为比特币投资者提供杠杆。Howard Lutnick 当时表示,该公司还持有「大量」比特币。

《金融时报》称,根据最新计划,今年 1 月,Cantor Equity Partners 募资 2 亿美元,并计划以这些资金为基础,创建一家名为 21 Capital 的新公司,通过吸收来自软银、Tether 和 Bitfinex 的 30 亿美元比特币,打造一个公开上市的加密货币投资平台。

具体出资方案为:Tether 承诺提供 15 亿美元比特币,软银和 Bitfinex 分别注资 9 亿和 6 亿美元的比特币。根据条款,软银、Tether 和 Bitfinex 的比特币投资将以每股 10 美元的价格转换为 21 Capital 的股份,并将比特币的估值定为每枚 85, 000 美元。此外,Cantor Equity Partners 还将发行 3.5 亿美元可转债及 2 亿美元(暂不清楚与 1 月份募资是否为同一笔)私募股权融资,进一步增持比特币。《金融时报》援引知情人士表示,尽管该协议可能会在未来几周内宣布,但仍有可能无法实现,而且交易数字可能会发生变化。

复刻微策略?

可以看出, 21 Capital 的设立灵感很大程度上来源于 Strategy(原 MicroStrategy)的转型奇迹。MicroStrategy 原本是一家软件公司,自 2020 年开始通过发行股票和债券大举购买比特币,如今已成为企业界比特币投资的标杆,其市值已飙升至 910 亿美元。截至 2025 年 4 月 20 日,Strategy 持有 538, 200 枚 BTC,购买均价为 67, 766 美元。

《金融时报》报道称,此次交易仅仅是 Cantor Fitzgerald 在 SPAC 领域布局的开端。除了 Cantor Equity Partners,Cantor Fitzgerald 还推出了另外两只由 Brandon Lutnick 领导的 SPAC,目前这两只 SPAC 均在积极寻找投资机会。

市场猜测 21 Capital 后续会通过 Cantor Equity Partners 来完成借壳上市,利用 SPAC 的灵活性和公开市场的融资能力,吸引更多机构投资者进入加密货币市场。

Cantor Fitzgerald 与 Tether 合作由来已久

Cantor Fitzgerald 与 Tether 的合作和关联有着深厚的渊源。2024 年 11 月,《华尔街日报》的一篇报道揭示了二者紧密的业务联系。当时,Cantor Fitzgerald 时任董事长 Howard Lutnick(现任美国商务部长)最重要的一位客户便是 Tether 的神秘老板 Giancarlo Devasini(根据 Tether 官网,Giancarlo Devasini 现任 Tether 董事长,此前担任首席财务官一职)。Tether 高达 1340 亿美元资产中的大多数都由 Cantor Fitzgerald 持有,其中大部分是美国国债。因为 Tether 通过 Cantor Fitzgerald 托管的业务持有这些美国国债,用以支持稳定币 Tether 的价值,而这种托管关系每年能为 Cantor 带来数千万美元的收入。

更引人注目的是,《华尔街日报》还援引知情商业伙伴的信息称, 2023 年 Cantor Fitzgerald 和 Tether 达成协议,Cantor Fitzgerald 持有 Tether 5% 的股权,当时 Cantor 对这些股权的估值高达 6 亿美元。

Giancarlo Devasini 曾在 2024 年私下表示,Howard Lutnick 可能利用其政治影响力缓解 Tether 面临的监管压力。不过,Tether 发言人随后澄清,称与 Cantor Fitzgerald 的合作纯粹基于专业管理储备关系,否认监管影响的猜测。Howard Lutnick 也曾公开表示,为遵守政府道德规范,他计划剥离在 Cantor Fitzgerald 的股份。值得注意的是,美国商务部在加密货币监管中历来角色有限。

另外,Cantor Fitzgerald 还在 2024 年 12 月份促成 Tether 对右翼视频平台 Rumble 的 7.75 亿美元投资,Cantor Fitzgerald 在其中担任配售代理和交易经纪商。

值得一提的是,Rumble 是一家保守派倾向的视频分享平台,主要用户包括特朗普支持者、自由意志主义者和反主流媒体群体。尽管,Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino 当时表示,「Tether 对 Rumble 的投资体现了我们共同的价值观:去中心化、独立性、透明度以及言论自由的基本权利。」但这笔投资被外界视为加密货币资本向政治关联媒体扩张的案例。2024 年 11 月底,Rumble 是董事会批准一项公司财库多元化战略,其中,比特币配置策略包括公司可自行决定购买最高 2000 万美元的比特币。之后, 2025 年 1 月,Rumble 购买价值 1710 万美元的比特币。

Cantor Fitzgerald 作为传统投行,通过参与此类交易逐步深入加密生态。此次与软银、Tether 和 Bitfinex 的合作,是 Cantor Fitzgerald 在加密货币领域的又一重大布局。

软银的加密之路

Cantor Fitzgerald、软银、Tether 30 亿美元比特币合资企业也从侧面反映了软银正式进军比特币市场。这家投资巨头的加密之路可谓一波三折:

  • 根据华尔街日报的一篇报道, 2017 年底,创始人孙正义大举押注比特币,却在 2018 年初价格暴跌时亏损 1.3 亿美元清仓。

  • 旗下愿景基金曾向 FTX 投资近 1 亿美元。

  • 此次通过 SPAC 架构参与比特币投资,显示出更为审慎和机构化的投资策略。

小结

对于 21 Capital 而言,其未来的成功与否将取决于多个关键因素。首先是比特币价格的长期走势,比特币作为加密货币市场的主导币种,其价格波动对 21 Capital 的资产价值和投资回报有着直接影响。其次,特朗普政府加密政策的具体落实情况也至关重要,如果政策能够持续保持对加密货币的友好态度并提供明确的监管框架,将有利于 21 Capital 的发展。此外,SPAC 交易的执行效果也将决定 21 Capital 能否顺利实现其目标,如果在交易过程中出现法律、财务等方面的问题,可能会阻碍项目的推进。如果该交易顺利完成,很可能引发更多传统金融机构效仿,从而加速加密货币与传统金融的融合进程。

随着 Cantor Fitzgerald、软银等传统金融巨头的入场,加密货币市场正迎来新的发展阶段,机构投资者搭建合规化投资通道的需求激增。此次跨界合作具有重塑数字资产机构化配置格局的潜力,可能会吸引更多传统金融机构重新审视加密货币市场,促使更多资金流入该领域,进而改变数字资产在机构投资组合中的地位和占比。当然, 21 Capital 也因其背后盘根错节的政商网络引发市场热议。

Predicting World Cup Knockout Matches: Why Are Different AI Models So Far Apart?

AI performance in predicting the 2026 FIFA World Cup knockout matches varied significantly, according to an analysis of models including ChatGPT, Grok, DeepSeek, Gemini, and Claude. The standout predictions came from DeepSeek and Gemini for the Netherlands vs. Morocco match. Gemini precisely forecasted a 1-1 draw and a penalty shootout win for Morocco, while DeepSeek correctly identified the high probability of a draw and Morocco's potential to advance via a defensive and counter-attacking strategy. Grok and Tongyi Qianwen (千问) demonstrated strength in predicting accurate scores for matches with clearer favorites. They correctly called the narrow 1-0 win for Canada over South Africa and Brazil's 2-1 victory over Japan, as well as Norway's 2-1 win over Ivory Coast. ChatGPT and Claude excelled more in match process analysis than in predicting exact scores or upsets. They frequently identified potential challenges for favorites, such as Japan's pressing against Brazil or DR Congo's defensive tactics against England, even when predicting the favorite's ultimate victory. A notable failure was the unanimous misjudgment of Germany vs. Paraguay. All models incorrectly favored Germany, underestimating Paraguay's ability to force a penalty shootout and cause an upset. In summary, Gemini and DeepSeek showed the most insight for high-stakes, unpredictable matches. Grok and Qianwen were reliable "score predictors" for less volatile games. ChatGPT and Claude were strong "analytical models," adept at outlining match dynamics but often hesitant to predict upsets.

Will There Be a Next Wave of Web3 Games? Veteran Player's Review: At the Peak of Hype, You Should at Least Sell Half

**Title: Is There Another Wave for Web3 Gaming? A Veteran Player's Review: When Hype Peaks, You Must Exit at Least Half** **Summary:** In an interview, veteran player "Earn Money Chicken" shares his journey and reflections on Web3 gaming. He transitioned from being a traditional in-game trader to a Web3 gamer, having profited from games like Mobox, StepN, and Seraph, but also experiencing significant losses. He defines himself primarily as a player, not an investor, attracted to Web3 games for the blend of earning potential, engaging gameplay, and the satisfaction of researching game mechanics. While he enjoys strategic "gambling" within games, he emphasizes it's not about zero-sum competition with other players. The interview explores the complex, often adversarial relationship between players, projects, and major investors (whales). The player's experience as a traditional game merchant helped develop his analytical mindset for spotting opportunities, but wasn't directly transferable. He identifies the core sources of profit in early Web3 gaming as **"era红利" (era-specific红利)** and strategic foresight, not just simple calculations. He warns that the biggest mistake ordinary players make is calculating their return-on-investment (ROI) period at peak hype, as asset and yield depreciation can trap them. Reflecting on his wins and losses, he now advocates for managing expectations. His most successful exit was from Seraph, where he sold at a relatively good time. The key problem with current Web3 games, he argues, is that most are not mature games first. A successful Web3 game must primarily be a **good, fun game** with a genuine player base willing to spend money for enjoyment, not just participants seeking profit. The blockchain element should solve problems within that context, not be the primary driver. While he believes the sector might see another speculative boom (possibly another strong "Ponzi" model attracting hype), a truly mature and sustainable Web3 game likely needs to come from a traditional major game studio. It would leverage a proven IP, mature content, a functional NFT trading system, and attract both traditional and crypto-native players, offering more normalized returns rather than extreme暴利. His final advice: Newcomers without prior experience should avoid the space now, as it's like searching for a diamond in the rough. For those remaining, the rule is: be brave when assets are low and overlooked, but **when everyone is talking about it (at peak hype), you must sell at least half your holdings.**

The Most Hidden AI Winners

"The Most Under-the-Radar AI Winners" While core AI giants and their direct suppliers have dominated headlines, a group of seemingly unrelated, decades-old manufacturing companies have emerged as major beneficiaries. A key example is Japan's TOTO, famous for bathroom fixtures. Its stock soared 145% in a year, driven not by its mainstay toilet business but by its nearly 40-year-old semiconductor ceramic component unit. Specifically, TOTO manufactures electrostatic chucks—critical, hard-to-replace parts for advanced chip manufacturing processes like etching and EUV lithography. This segment, though only 9% of revenue, contributed over 54% of operating profit in FY2025 with a 43% margin. High barriers to entry, including deep know-how in high-purity ceramic sintering and long supplier certification cycles (5+ years), secure its position. This pattern repeats across industries. Nitto Boseki, a 128-year-old glass fiber maker, saw its stock rise 325% due to near-monopoly supply of T-glass, an essential low-expansion material for AI chip substrates. Similarly, Ajinomoto, the global MSG leader, commands 80-95% of the market for ABF film, a vital insulating layer in chip packaging. These "hidden" segments, often born from deep materials science expertise, are now bottleneck supplies in the AI hardware chain, enjoying pricing power and high margins. In China's A-share market, the theme combines this AI-driven demand with domestic substitution. Companies like Zhongci Electronic (advancing in electrostatic chucks) and Honghe Technology & Feilihua (in high-end electronic glass fabrics) are gaining traction. The investment thesis hinges on whether these domestic players can rapidly scale qualified capacity to capture the supply gap within the critical time window. Ultimately, these cases show that in the AI supply chain, high-profit concentrations exist not only at the cutting-edge tech frontier but also in indispensable, difficult-to-replicate materials and components. Market recognition often lags behind fundamental profit shifts, creating potential for significant re-ratings as traditional industrial firms are re-evaluated as key enablers of advanced semiconductor manufacturing.

Risks Lack of Transparency: The absence of publicly known backers, developers, or an audit process may yield skepticism regarding the project's sustainability and trustworthiness. Market Volatility: The trading activity is heavily reliant on speculative behavior, which can result in significant price volatility and uncertainty for investors. Conclusion DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) emerges as an intriguing yet ambiguous project within the rapidly evolving Solana ecosystem. While it attempts to leverage the “digital gold” narrative, its departure from Bitcoin's established role as a store of value underscores the need for a clearer differentiation of its intended utility and governance structure. Future acceptance and adoption will likely depend on addressing the current opacity and defining its operational and economic strategies more explicitly. Note: This report encompasses synthesised information available as of October 2023, and developments may have transpired beyond the research period.
