新罕布夏州法案將創建州級比特幣戰略儲備

該提案在州議會提出，被稱為“有關使國庫能夠投資貴金屬和數位資產的一項法案”，引起了支持者的關注，他們將數位貨幣視為對沖經濟不確定性的手段。

A bill that would allow the state treasury to invest in precious metals and digital assets has been introduced in the State House.

州議會已提出一項允許國庫投資貴金屬和數位資產的法案。

The bill, which was shared on social media by a prominent cryptocurrency advocate, would add a new section to state law under RSA 6, titled “6:8-d Strategic Reserve Established.”

該法案由一位著名的加密貨幣倡導者在社交媒體上分享，該法案將在 RSA 6 下的州法律中添加一個新的章節，標題為「建立 6:8-d 戰略儲備」。

The proposal would authorize the state treasurer to place funds in exchange-traded products tied to cryptocurrencies, provided they meet regulatory requirements set by entities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, or the state's own securities commissioner.

該提案將授權州財政部長將資金投入與加密貨幣相關的交易所交易產品，前提是這些產品符合美國證券交易委員會、商品期貨交易委員會或該州自己的證券專員等實體制定的監管要求。

The bill also defines “precious metal” as silver, gold, or platinum, and includes guidelines on “secure custody solutions” for storing digital assets.

該法案還將「貴金屬」定義為白銀、黃金或鉑金，並包括用於儲存數位資產的「安全託管解決方案」指南。

Dennis Porter, a well-known cryptocurrency commentator, announced the development on social media and posted the bill.

著名加密貨幣評論員丹尼斯波特在社群媒體上宣布了這一進展，並發布了該法案。

State Representative Keith Ammon, a Republican who represents Hillsborough District 42, is the lead sponsor of the bill. A cryptocurrency enthusiast and advocate for blockchain technology, Ammon's approach to governance aligns with what some lawmakers describe as “techno-optimism.”

代表希爾斯伯勒第 42 區的州眾議員基思·阿蒙 (Keith Ammon) 是該法案的主要發起人。作為加密貨幣愛好者和區塊鏈技術的倡導者，阿蒙的治理方法符合一些立法者所描述的「技術樂觀主義」。

If passed, the legislation would allow the state to hold certain digital assets alongside more traditional reserves, reflecting a growing trend among policymakers who view cryptocurrency as a strategic store of value.

如果通過，該立法將允許國家持有某些數位資產以及更傳統的儲備，這反映出政策制定者將加密貨幣視為戰略價值儲存手段的趨勢日益明顯。

The New Hampshire bill comes amid broader discussions at the national level about Bitcoin's role in the U.S. financial system. Some officials have recently proposed establishing a federal “bitcoin strategic reserve,” following suggestions that emerged from Washington over the past year.

新罕布夏州的法案出台之際，全國範圍內就比特幣在美國金融體系中的作用進行了更廣泛的討論。根據華盛頓去年提出的建議，一些官員最近提議建立聯邦「比特幣戰略儲備」。

Supporters of such a reserve argue that adding digital assets to government holdings could provide a safeguard against debt concerns and potentially generate significant returns, especially if cryptocurrency prices continue to rise.

這種儲備的支持者認為，將數位資產添加到政府持有中可以提供防範債務問題的保障，並可能產生可觀的回報，特別是如果加密貨幣價格繼續上漲。

Prominent figures have expressed optimism about the effects of government adoption of Bitcoin. One professional, commenting on the proposed legislation, stated that if the state proposals move forward, “the sky’s the limit because bitcoin has a fixed supply.” Others have predicted prices well over $100,000 per bitcoin, anticipating multi-trillion-dollar market capitalizations that could rival or surpass those of precious metals.

知名人士對政府採用比特幣的影響力表示樂觀。一位專業人士在評論擬議的立法時表示，如果國家提案繼續推進，“天空是無限的，因為比特幣的供應量是固定的。”其他人則預測每枚比特幣的價格遠超過 10 萬美元，預計其市值將達到數萬億美元，可與貴金屬相媲美或超越。

Critics of the new legislation, however, caution that while digital assets like Bitcoin have garnered enthusiastic support among individual investors and tech-savvy lawmakers, they remain volatile and lack the same track record as more established commodities. Skeptics argue that any government-held asset should demonstrate proven stability and utility in emergency scenarios, comparing the new approach to the well-known U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

然而，新立法的批評者警告說，儘管比特幣等數位資產獲得了個人投資者和精通技術的立法者的熱情支持，但它們仍然不穩定，並且缺乏與更成熟的大宗商品相同的記錄。懷疑論者認為，任何政府持有的資產都應該在緊急情況下表現出經過驗證的穩定性和實用性，並將新方法與眾所周知的美國戰略石油儲備進行比較。

Nevertheless, the proposed New Hampshire bill outlines a detailed structure. It defines a “qualified custodian” as a financial or depository institution regulated by federal or state banking authorities, which would be entrusted to safeguard the digital assets acquired.

儘管如此，擬議的新罕布什爾州法案概述了詳細的結構。它將「合格託管人」定義為受聯邦或州銀行當局監管的金融或存款機構，將受託保護所獲得的數位資產。

Additionally, the bill mandates a “secure custody solution,” ensuring that cryptographic private keys remain within a system dedicated to protecting them from theft or accidental loss.

此外，該法案還要求採用“安全託管解決方案”，確保加密私鑰保留在專用於保護其免遭盜竊或意外遺失的系統中。

Supporters of the measure maintain that it has the potential to secure the state's future economic interests, highlighting the rising acceptance of Bitcoin across industries and the notable gains in the cryptocurrency's value over the past year. Notably, respected ETF custodians like Bitwise have predicted that the price of Bitcoin could reach $200,000 in 2025.

該措施的支持者認為，它有可能確保國家未來的經濟利益，突顯了各行業對比特幣的接受程度不斷提高，以及加密貨幣價值在過去一年中的顯著增長。值得注意的是，像 Bitwise 這樣受人尊敬的 ETF 託管人預測，比特幣的價格可能在 2025 年達到 20 萬美元。

If approved in the upcoming session, the law could position New Hampshire as a forerunner among states seeking to adopt alternative investments.

如果在即將舉行的會議上獲得批准，該法律可能會使新罕布夏州成為尋求採用另類投資的州中的先驅。
