比特币信托现身美国法警拍卖会参加竞标

今天从第二市场（SecondMarket）的比特币信托基金传出一些重磅消息。公司负责人巴里·希尔伯特周六在Twitter上宣布，他打算组团参加美国法警服务司的拍卖会，竞标一大笔比特币。
声明：@ BitcoinTrust和SecondMarket的比特币交易平台将组团参加美国法警比特币拍卖会的投标…
- 巴里·希尔伯特（@ barrysilbert）2014年6月14日
该声明紧随这周的头条新闻：美国法警服务司计划拍卖超过29,000比特币，按今天的汇率，价值超过160美万元。这些比特币，当然属于被当局去年关闭的丝绸之路运营部。
第二市场和比特币投资信托基金已经为此事做了一个专门的页面：
第二市场和比特币投资信托基金预计将参与拍卖，并允许其他人联合投标。
希尔伯特的比特币投资信托基金允许投资者把大笔的钱投入到比特币市场，所以一点也不奇怪，他们会卷入拍卖，为了得到额外的比特币来源。
为了参加法警服务司的拍卖，投标人须注册并提交20万美元的存款。法警服务司将分段拍卖丝绸之路的比特币。
A系列拍卖会将拍卖9块（block），每块3000个比特币，B系列拍卖会将拍卖2,646个比特币。
评论：看似拍卖，实则更像资本转移。华尔街收揽大笔比特币，恐怕不是为了慈善事业，而是为了利益。

Some pretty big news coming from the SecondMarket/Bitcoin Investment Trust today. Company head honchoBarry Silbert took to Twitter on Saturday to announce that he’s planning to form a syndicate to bid on a huge sum of bitcoins up for auction by the U.S. Marshals service.

The announcement comes following this week’s headlines that the United States Marshals service is planning to auction off over 29,000 bitcoins worth over $16 million at today’s exchange rate. The bitcoins, of course, belonged to the Silk Road operation that was shut down by authorities last year.
SecondMarket and the Bitcoin Investment Trust have already set up a dedicated page for the matter:
SecondMarket and the Bitcoin Investment Trust expect to participate in the auction and will allow others to submit bids for aggregation in the process.
Silbert’s Bitcoin Investment Trust allows investors to put in large sums of money as means of getting involved in the bitcoin market, so it’s no surprise they’re getting involved with the auction as a means of getting their hands on an additional bitcoin supply.
In order to get involved with the Marshals service’s auction, bidders are required to register and submit a deposit of $200,000. The Marshals service will be auctioning the Silk Road bitcoins in segments.
A Series A auction will make 9 blocks of 3,000 bitcoins available, and a Series B auction will make 2,646 bitcoins available.
