自稱「比特幣參議員」的辛西婭·魯米斯 (Cynthia Lummis) 建議出售部分政府黃金，為當選總統提議的比特幣儲備提供資金

這位共和黨參議員的法案將幫助美國在不增加政府赤字的情況下獲得 100 萬比特幣。

Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis, a self-proclaimed “Bitcoin senator” and close ally of President-elect Donald Trump, has proposed selling some of the government’s gold to fund Trump's proposed plan to create a Bitcoin stockpile.

自稱「比特幣參議員」、當選總統唐納德·川普的親密盟友、共和黨參議員辛西婭·盧米斯(Cynthia Lummis) 提議出售部分政府黃金，為川普提出的創建比特幣庫存計劃提供資金。

The bill would help the U.S. acquire 1 million BTC without increasing its government deficit. The cryptocurrency recently overtook silver to become the world’s eighth-largest asset.

該法案將幫助美國在不增加政府赤字的情況下獲得 100 萬比特幣。這種加密貨幣最近取代白銀成為世界第八大資產。

Lummis first revealed the bill during the Bitcoin 2024 conference in July. The move came shortly after Trump shared his goal of creating a Bitcoin reserve within the government.

Lummis 在 7 月的比特幣 2024 會議期間首次披露了該法案。此舉是在川普分享他在政府內部建立比特幣儲備的目標後不久做出的。

The reserve would function similarly to traditional gold reserves, serving as a hedge against inflation and an alternative to fiat currency, which Trump argues is subject to devaluation due to policies like high government spending and “money printing” during crises.

該儲備的功能類似於傳統的黃金儲備，作為對沖通膨和法定貨幣的替代品，川普認為，由於政府高支出和危機期間的「印鈔」等政策，法定貨幣可能會貶值。

Trump and his allies argue that holding Bitcoin could reduce the national debt in the long term, especially if Bitcoin's value rises significantly.

川普及其盟友認為，從長遠來看，持有比特幣可以減少國家債務，特別是如果比特幣的價值大幅上漲的話。

Upon his first announcement of the reserve, the President-elect did not mention buying 1 million Bitcoin but instead said the government would hold 200,000 tokens it had already seized.

在首次宣布儲備金時，候任總統並未提及購買 100 萬個比特幣，而是表示政府將持有 20 萬個已扣押的代幣。

Lummis' bill would see the government purchase an additional one million Bitcoin over five years, at a cost of about $90 billion at current market rates. Talking to Bloomberg, Lummis said: “We already have the financial assets in the form of gold certificates to convert to Bitcoin. So the effect on the U.S. balance sheet is pretty neutral.”

Lummis 的法案要求政府在五年內額外購買 100 萬比特幣，以當前市場價格計算，成本約為 900 億美元。魯米斯接受彭博社採訪時表示：「我們已經擁有黃金憑證形式的金融資產，可以轉換為比特幣。因此，對美國資產負債表的影響相當中性。

The purchase price will likely increase as investors are expected to flock to buy the digital asset. In the latest Federal Reserve balance sheet, the Treasury reports holding gold valued at $11 billion. However, this price has been unchanged since 1973, and today's prices would value the gold reserve at about $675 billion.

由於預計投資者將蜂擁購買數位資產，購買價格可能會上漲。在最新的聯準會資產負債表中，財政部報告持有價值 110 億美元的黃金。然而，這個價格自 1973 年以來一直沒有變化，以今天的價格計算，黃金儲備的價值約為 6,750 億美元。

The bill would also involve establishing a “decentralized network of secure Bitcoin storage facilities” around the country.

該法案還將涉及在全國範圍內建立「安全比特幣儲存設施的去中心化網路」。

“Establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve to bolster the U.S. dollar with a digital hard asset will secure our nation’s standing as the global financial leader for decades to come,” Lummis said.

魯米斯表示：“建立比特幣戰略儲備，以數位硬資產提振美元，將確保我們國家在未來幾十年內作為全球金融領導者的地位。”

Trump has had a tumultuous journey with the crypto industry. In just 2021, the President-elect slammed Bitcoin as a “scam,” claiming he didn't like it because “it's another currency competing against the dollar.”

川普在加密貨幣行業經歷了一段動盪的旅程。就在 2021 年，當選總統猛烈抨擊比特幣是一個“騙局”，聲稱他不喜歡它，因為“它是另一種與美元競爭的貨幣”。

But Trump doubled down on his crypto views in the run-up to his second presidential victory, vowing to make America the “crypto capital of the world.”

但川普在第二次總統勝利前夕更加堅定了他的加密貨幣觀點，並發誓要讓美國成為「世界加密貨幣之都」。

Along with a Bitcoin reserve, the President-elect voiced his intention to foster U.S. dominance in Bitcoin mining and vowed to fire SEC Chairman Gary Gensler on his first day in office.

除了比特幣儲備外，當選總統還表達了他要鞏固美國在比特幣挖礦領域的主導地位的意圖，並誓言在上任第一天解僱美國證券交易委員會主席加里·詹斯勒(Gary Gensler)。

Gensler has been a driving force in the SEC's crackdown on crypto companies, with the majority of the sector believing he has been too aggressive in his enforcement actions.

Gensler 一直是 SEC 打擊加密貨幣公司的推動力量，該行業大多數人認為他的執法行動過於激進。

Legal experts claim Trump will not have the power to fire Gensler directly. Instead, he could appoint a new commissioner to lead the SEC and pursue policies aligned with a pro-crypto agenda.

法律專家聲稱川普無權直接解僱詹斯勒。相反，他可以任命一名新委員來領導 SEC，並推行與支持加密貨幣議程一致的政策。
