MARA 敦促美國確保在比特幣和比特幣挖礦領域的主導地位，聲稱這是國家安全問題

加密貨幣礦商 MARA Holdings 敦促美國採取更積極的行動，以“確保比特幣和比特幣挖礦的主導地位”，聲稱這是國家安全問題。

United States government should act more aggressively to “secure dominant positions in Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining,” the crypto miner MARA has urged, claiming it’s a matter of national security.

加密貨幣礦商 MARA 敦促美國政府採取更積極的行動，以“確保在比特幣和比特幣挖礦領域的主導地位”，並聲稱這是國家安全問題。

“The United States faces an urgent need to secure its economic and national security interests,” wrote MARA in a Nov. 26 X post.

「美國迫切需要確保其經濟和國家安全利益，」MARA 在 11 月 26 日的貼文中寫道。

The miner added that the US needs to take the lead in holding Bitcoin ( BTC ) just like it has with gold, especially with the rising trend of de-dollarization — countries shedding reliance on the US dollar.

這位礦工補充說，美國需要帶頭持有比特幣（BTC），就像持有黃金一樣，尤其是在去美元化趨勢不斷上升的情況下——各國正在擺脫對美元的依賴。

“The dollar is no longer directly backed by gold, yet holding substantial gold reserves remains a matter of national security,” claimed MARA. “These reserves provide the US with the ability to transact should foreign nations lose confidence in the dollar.”

馬拉表示：“美元不再直接由黃金支持，但持有大量黃金儲備仍然是國家安全問題。” “如果外國對美元失去信心，這些儲備為美國提供了進行交易的能力。”

MARA Holdings, formerly known as Marathon Digital, noted that the US holds a little over 200,000 Bitcoin, while China is close behind at around 190,000 BTC.

MARA Holdings（原名 Marathon Digital）指出，美國持有略多於 20 萬枚的比特幣，而中國緊隨其後，持有約 19 萬枚比特幣。

Meanwhile, World Gold Council data shows the US holds 8,133 metric tonnes of gold as of Q2 2024, compared to China's 2,264 tonnes.

同時，世界黃金協會的數據顯示，截至 2024 年第二季度，美國持有黃金 8,133 噸，而中國持有 2,264 噸。

“As speculation grows about countries preemptively building Bitcoin reserves ahead of the forthcoming Trump Administration, the US must move swiftly to secure dominant positions in Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining,” it said.

報告指出：「隨著相關國家在即將上任的川普政府之前先發制人建立比特幣儲備的猜測越來越多，美國必須迅速採取行動，以確保在比特幣和比特幣挖礦領域的主導地位。 」

MARA said much of this will come down to ensuring the US controls a significant portion of the global hashrate, preventing “adversarial nations” from censoring or manipulating its Bitcoin transactions.

MARA 表示，這在很大程度上將歸結為確保美國控制全球算力的很大一部分，防止「敵對國家」審查或操縱其比特幣交易。

“Failing to secure a sufficient share of blockspace and hashrate leaves the US vulnerable to external pressures in a world where Bitcoin’s importance as a financial and geopolitical tool is rapidly growing,” it added.

它補充說：“在比特幣作為金融和地緣政治工具的重要性迅速增長的世界中，未能獲得足夠的區塊空間和算力份額使美國容易受到外部壓力的影響。”

MARA has recommended a six-prong plan to tackle the threat, one of which includes encouraging the domestic production of mining hardware (ASIC chips) to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers.

MARA 建議採取六管齊下的計劃來應對這一威脅，其中之一包括鼓勵國內生產採礦硬體（ASIC 晶片），以減少對外國供應商的依賴。

At the present time, the China-based Bitmain is the world’s leading manufacturer of crypto mining hardware, with a market share of around 75% (though some have estimated it to be as much as 90%), followed by MicroBT — also based in China.

目前，總部位於中國的比特大陸是全球領先的加密挖礦硬體製造商，市佔率約為 75%（儘管有些人估計高達 90%），其次是同樣總部位於中國的比特微 (MicroBT)。

The crypto miner has also called for more investment into US Bitcoin mining, the set up of a Bitcoin strategic reserve and more legal clarity and incentives for Bitcoin miners and investors and for the US to set global standards for decentralized networks.

該加密貨幣礦工也呼籲對美國比特幣挖礦進行更多投資，建立比特幣戰略儲備，並為比特幣礦工和投資者提供更多的法律清晰度和激勵措施，並呼籲美國為去中心化網絡制定全球標準。
