生物科技業如何透過比特幣渡過艱難時期




生物製藥高管表示比特幣可助行業渡過“生物技術寒冬”

Atai Life Sciences的創辦人Christian Angermayer表示,持有比特幣可能是生物技術公司在漫長的藥物批准過程中存活的一種方式。

NASDAQ上市的生物製藥公司Atai Life Sciences指出,像比特幣這樣的加密貨幣可能是生物技術初創企業在經歷多年監管批准過程中的生存關鍵。

Atai正在開發使用DMT和MDMA等迷幻藥的心理健康治療,並成為最新一家宣布計劃購買比特幣的上市公司。Angermayer在3月20日的Substack文章中寫道,該公司計劃購買500萬美元的比特幣。

他表示:“藥物開發是一項需要大量資金的長期事業。獲得監管批准所需的步驟可能輕易超過十年。”

根據TechCrunch在1月的報導,根據多個數據集,2024年關閉的初創企業數量相比2023年有所上升,因為這些公司未能獲得更多資金以繼續運營。

Angermayer指出,批准過程對藥物開發至關重要,但同時也使公司面臨財務風險,而持續的高通脹和高利率造成了當前的“生物技術寒冬”。

他補充道,當前行業的做法是將現金儲備放在幾乎零收益的賬戶中,因為“保護資本比賺取現金回報更為重要”。

“這種背景為考慮非常規的財務策略鋪平了道路——例如將比特幣納入財庫——以應對通脹和低收益儲備的雙重威脅,並在一般情況下優化和最大化股東價值。”

Atai將加入至少五家最近幾個月購買比特幣的上市醫療公司,旨在提高股東回報。生物技術公司Quantum BioPharma在3月20日表示,該公司在12月首次投資100萬美元後,現在已經總共花費350萬美元購買BTC和其他加密貨幣。

醫療設備製造商Semler Scientific上個月表示,自5月以來,已經總共花費2.804億美元購買3192個比特幣。

Hoth Therapeutics、Acurx Pharmaceuticals和Enlivex Therapeutics在11月20日的獨立聲明中表示,每家公司將各自購買100萬美元的比特幣。

Angermayer表示,Atai的比特幣購買主要是作為長期的通脹對沖,同時也是短期的多元化策略。他補充道,比特幣可能會有短期的價格波動,因此這家位於柏林的公司主要持有美元、短期證券和股票,以滿足其到2027年的運行需求。

Atai的500萬美元投資將使其能夠以目前約84,300美元的價格購買超過59個比特幣,並根據Bitbo數據成為全球第52大上市公司持有者。

比特幣在美國總統特朗普的關稅威脅和對美國經濟衰退的擔憂中,面臨著更廣泛市場的困境,特朗普尚未排除這種可能性。

根據Google Finance的數據,Atai的股價在3月20日的交易中早盤上漲至1.47美元的高峰,但最終收盤時下跌1.44%,報1.37美元。該公司的股價自2021年中期上市高峰以來已經下跌近93%,但今年迄今已上漲3%。

這篇報導揭示了生物技術行業面臨的挑戰,尤其是在資金短缺和監管壓力下,如何利用比特幣等新興資產進行資本保值和增值的潛力。隨著市場的不確定性加劇,越來越多的企業可能會考慮將加密貨幣納入其財務策略中,這不僅是對抗通脹的手段,也是尋求資本增值的新途徑。然而,這也引發了對於加密貨幣波動性的擔憂,企業在追求收益的同時,如何平衡風險和收益將成為未來的一大挑戰。

Create a hyper-realistic 8K close-up body portrait of a female model, using the uploaded photo as the exact facial reference. Maintain 100% accuracy of the facial features — do not alter or modify any aspect of the face. Render the skin texture, lighting, and overall composition with photo-realistic detail, ensuring lifelike color tones and natural depth of field. A man with his original hair is sitting casually on a white cube, smiling warmly at the camera. He is wearing a cream-colored cable-knit sweater, blue jeans, and brown loafers. His legs are crossed, with one hand resting on his knee.
The background reveals a cozy and festive living room. A large, beautifully decorated Christmas tree with numerous warm lights and gold ornaments stands prominently behind him. Several wrapped gift boxes are visible at the base of the tree. To his left, another smaller decorated Christmas tree and a wreath on the wall further enhance the holiday atmosphere. The lighting is soft and inviting, creating a warm and welcoming scene. Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a striking, high-resolution portrait of a young woman with long, flowing wavy brunette hair, seated gracefully on a simple black wooden chair in a dimly lit studio. She wears an oversized, off-white knitted sweater that drapes loosely over her frame, slipping off one shoulder to reveal smooth skin and add a subtle touch of sensuality. Her pose is elegant and contemplative: one arm rests gently on the chair’s backrest while her hand delicately supports her chin, and her gaze is directed thoughtfully toward the side, creating an intimate and introspective mood. The lighting is expertly crafted with a single soft, directional light source positioned to the side, casting gentle shadows that sculpt her form and highlight the texture of the knitwear and the natural contours of her legs and arms. This chiaroscuro effect enhances the depth and dimensionality of the image, emphasizing the softness of her skin and the intricate weave of the sweater. The background is a smooth, muted dark gray, providing a minimalist and distraction-free backdrop that contrasts beautifully with her light-colored apparel and warm skin tones. *** The composition is a full-body vertical frame that captures the model’s seated posture with perfect balance, positioning her slightly off-center to create visual interest and harmony. The overall color palette is subdued and warm, featuring neutral tones that evoke a sense of calm and understated elegance. The image is impeccably sharp, showcasing fine details such as the delicate waves of her hair, the subtle folds in the fabric, and the natural texture of her skin. The style is classic and timeless, blending modern minimalism with emotive portraiture to convey quiet strength, beauty, and introspection.

Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a ultra-sharp studio portrait of a confident woman kneeling on the floor with her body slightly leaning back, her right hand gently touching her hair, and her left arm resting on her bent knee. She is dressed in a sleek, strapless black bodysuit that accentuates her figure, paired with elegant black patterned lace pantyhose that add texture and sophistication. She wears a pair of classic black high heels, elevating her posture and emphasizing her elongated legs. The background is a seamless, pure white studio backdrop, providing a clean and minimalist aesthetic that directs full focus to her form and attire. *** The lighting setup is soft, evenly distributed, with a diffused key light positioned to the left, casting gentle shadows that sculpt her contours and highlight the intricate lace pattern of her tights. The overall color palette is monochromatic, emphasizing blacks and whites to create a timeless, sophisticated mood. The composition is carefully balanced, capturing her from the waist up in a slightly angled pose that accentuates her curves and confidence. Use a professional camera with a 85mm or 50mm lens at wide aperture (f/1.8 to f/2.😎 for a shallow depth of field, ensuring crisp detail on her outfit and pose while softly blurring the background. Post-process minimally to enhance clarity, contrast, and natural skin tones, maintaining a polished, elegant, and modern aesthetic suitable for fashion or editorial photography.
