美國電動汽車及太陽能公司特斯拉首席執行官伊隆·馬斯克在加密數字貨幣方面不是很積極。本周馬斯克在社交媒體Twitter上透露了比特幣持有情況——實在沒多少。

有位關注馬斯克的Twitter用戶提問，為什么網站上有那么多假冒他的機器人賬戶宣傳加密貨幣騙局，馬斯克回復時透露了比特幣持有情況。

不久前，Twitter用戶提到加密貨幣以太坊時問道：“到處都是以太坊的垃圾信息，怎么回事？”馬斯克的Twitter賬號這樣回復：“不太清楚。我和杰克說過，可還是這樣。”馬斯克提到的杰克是指Twitter首席執行官。

接著，馬斯克就在當天回復的帖子里說：“我基本上沒有加密貨幣，只有多年前朋友多送的0.25個比特幣。”按上周五晚的市價（當天下午比特幣交易價10,012美元），馬斯克的0.25個比特幣市值約2500美元。

不太清楚。我跟@杰克說過，可還是這樣。我基本上沒有加密貨幣，只有多年前朋友送的0.25個比特幣。

這筆比特幣資產對身家上十億美元的馬斯克來說不算多少。而且，即便馬斯克想處置這筆小錢也做不到。

去年11月坊間傳聞稱，比特幣匿名創造者中本聰就是馬斯克。爆出此消息的是一篇博客，博主薩赫勒·古普塔曾在馬斯克執掌的另一家公司Space X做過實習生。

不是真的。有個朋友幾年前送給我一個比特幣的一部分，但我不知道放哪兒去了。

——伊隆·馬斯克（@elonmusk）于2017年11月28日

事后有人在Twitter上給馬斯克轉發了有關該博客的消息。馬斯克稱，傳聞不實，而且他自己都忘記比特幣在哪了。丟失比特幣并不罕見。《財富》曾經獨家披露，研究機構發現，多年來因沒有妥善保管而遺失的比特幣約有278萬到379萬之多。（財富中文網）

Tesla CEO Elon Musk isn’t exactly active in cryptocurrency. Musk revealed this week on Twitter how much Bitcoin he owns—and it’s not much.

Musk shed light on his bitcoin ownership in response to a question from a Twitter follower asking why there were so many bots impersonating him to push cryptocurrency scams.

“What’s with all the ETH spam?” the Twitter user asked, referring to the cryptocurrency Ethereum. Musk tweeted back: “Not sure. I let Jack know, but it’s still going.” Musk was referring to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

“I literally own zero cryptocurrency, apart from .25 BTC that a friend sent me many years ago,” Musk said in a tweet on Thursday. That’s about $2,500 as of Friday evening (as of Friday afternoon, one Bitcoin was worth $10,012).

Not sure. I let @jack know, but it’s still going. I literally own zero cryptocurrency, apart from .25 BTC that a friend sent me many years ago.

That’s not a lot of money for Musk, who is worth billions. But even if Musk needed to access his bitcoin, he’d be unable to.

Late last year, a theory circulated that the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, is Musk. The blog post that floated the idea was by Sahil Gupta, a former intern at Musk’s other company, SpaceX.

Not true. A friend sent me part of a BTC a few years, but I don’t know where it is.

Someone on Twitter sent Musk a news article about the post. Not only was it untrue, Musk said, but he’s forgotten where his bitcoin is stored. Losing bitcoin isn’t so unusual. As Fortune exclusively revealed, somewhere between 2.78 million and 3.79 million bitcoins have been misplaced over the years.
