Rezerva Federală a SUA deține o porțiune minusculă de Bitcoins MicroStrategy. Iată cum!

A recent report from Bloomberg suggests that the U.S. central bank aka Federal Reserve has been one of the early adopters of the Bitcoin-linked junk bonds. During the economic shifts taking place amid the COVID-19 pandemic last year, the Federal Reserve started buying the bond exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to get the economic activity going.

Interestingly, it turns out that a very small percentage like 0.01 of this ETF, commonly referred to as the JNK ticker, has been dedicated to MicroStrategy junk bonds eliberat earlier this week on Tuesday. The business intelligence firm is looking forward to raising $400 million by the sale of its corporate bonds to buy Bitcoins.

Now, with the Fed still holding the ETF, it technically means that it has contributed to MicroStrategy buying those Bitcoins. Bloomberg Intelligence’s ETF Analyst Athanasios Psarofagis a spus:

„Este o cantitate destul de mică, dar sincer să fiu, sunt surprins să o văd acolo atât de curând. Administratorii de portofoliu cu venit fix au un pic de discreție asupra obligațiunilor pe care le pot avea în portofoliu, așa că ar putea adăuga o mică poțiune înainte de o posibilă includere a indicilor.”

Interestingly, Fed’s tiny exposure to the BTC isn’t just limited to the JNK ticker. Bloomberg notes that one Fed’s another holding – the iShares Broad USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (ticker USHY) – also has a small part of Microstrategy’s debt.

Bitcoin (BTC) Bashing from Lawmakers Continue

Interestingly, it turns out that the Fed which has been the biggest critic of crypto has its own feet into it. In another development on Wednesday, June 9, Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren said that the U.S. government should step up the oversight of the crypto market and thus protect consumers from rapid scams popping out recently.

În ei interviu with Bloomberg TV, Warren called cryptocurrencies the “wild-west” and said that cryptos are “not a good way to buy and sell things and not a good investment and an environmental disaster.”
