亚马逊CEO现在拥有的财富超过了比特币的市值

Jeff Bezos, CEO of online shopping giant Amazon, recently tapped record wealth levels, holding more personal wealth than all the speculative capital currently invested in crypto's largest asset — Bitcoin (BTC). 

“Amazon stock shares surged 4.4% to a record $2,878.70 Wednesday, boosting the founder’s world-leading fortune to $171.6 billion,” Bloomberg said in a July 1 article. “That tops his previous high of $167.7 billion, set on Sept. 4, 2018, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.”

Bezos’ deep pockets compared to Bitcoin

At press time, Bitcoin holds a market cap of approximately $166.4 billion, according to Coin360 data, showing the value of all BTC in circulation at the asset’s current price level. 

Bezos’ total net worth outpaces that number, revealing Bitcoin’s relatively small size in comparison to other markets, and even people. For further comparison, gold’s total market cap sat around $8 trillion in May 2020, based on Cointelegraph reporting. 

Bezos buying all available BTC

Even at his current net worth, Amazon’s billionaire CEO likely could not buy all Bitcoin in circulation. 

Bezos could purchase the available BTC held on exchange order books, Genesis Genesis Mining's head of mining operations, Philip Salter, speculated to Cointelegraph for a previous story. The activity, however, would likely drive up the asset’s price and remove liquidity from the market. Additionally, some people may not be willing to sell their BTC, while some others have lost their Bitcoin over the years, unable to access it. 

Derivatives trader and YouTuber Tone Vays also weighed in with similar thoughts on the matter for a separate article. "He would drive up the price of Bitcoin to the point where he could no longer afford it," Vays said of Bezos back in April.

在线购物巨头亚马逊的首席执行官Jeff Bezos最近创下了财富记录，他个人财富超过了目前投资于比特币的所有投机资本。

彭博社在7月1日的一篇文章中表示：“周三，亚马逊股价上涨4.4％，达到创纪录的2878.70美元，使这位创始人的全球领先财富增至1716亿美元。根据彭博亿万富翁指数，这打破了他在2018年9月4日创下的1677亿美元的历史最高纪录。”

与比特币相比，贝索斯财力雄厚

根据Coin360的数据，截至发稿时，比特币的市值约为1664亿美元，显示了以比特币当前价格水平计算的所有流通的比特币的价值。

Bezos的总净资产超过了这个数字，这表明比特币的规模相对于其他市场，甚至与人相比，都相对较小。为了进一步比较，根据Cointelegraph的报告，到2020年5月，黄金的总市值约为8万亿美元。

Bezos购买所有流通中的比特币

即使以目前的净资产，这位亚马逊的亿万富翁首席执行官可能也无法购买所有流通中的比特币。

Genesis Mining挖矿业务负责人Philip Salter推测：Bezos可能会购买交易所订单簿上的比特币。但是，这种行为可能会推高比特币价格，并从市场上消除流动性。此外，一些人可能不愿出售其比特币，而另一些人已经失去了他们的比特币多年，无法使用它。

衍生品交易员和YouTube用户 Tone Vays也在另一篇文章中发表了类似的观点。Vays在四月份谈到Bezos时表示：“他将把比特币的价格推高到他再也买不起的地步。”
