明尼蘇達州比特幣法案旨在現代化國家財政

明尼蘇達州可能會成為最早使用比特幣和其他加密貨幣進行州投資，退休計劃和稅款的州之一。

Minnesota State Senator Jeremy Miller has introduced the Minnesota Bitcoin Act (SF2661), a proposal that could see the state become one of the first to accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for various financial purposes.

明尼蘇達州參議員傑里米·米勒（Jeremy Miller）提出了《明尼蘇達州比特幣法》（SF2661），該提案可以看到該州成為最早以各種財務目的接受比特幣和其他加密貨幣的提案之一。

The bill, which was introduced on March 18, aims to expand financial options, modernize payments, and create new opportunities for residents. It follows a complete shift in Senator Miller’s views on Bitcoin, which he detailed in the statement announcing the bill.

該法案於3月18日提出，旨在擴大財務選擇，現代化付款並為居民創造新的機會。這是他在宣布該法案的聲明中詳細介紹了米勒參議員對比特幣的觀點的完全轉變。

“As I do more research on cryptocurrency and hear from more and more constituents, I’ve gone from being highly skeptical, to learning more about it, to believing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,” said Senator Miller.

米勒參議員米勒說：“隨著我對加密貨幣進行更多的研究，並聽取越來越多的選民的聲音，我已經從高度懷疑，到更多地了解它，再到相信比特幣和其他加密貨幣。”

The senator’s bill would permit the Minnesota State Board of Investment to invest in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, an action that several other states are also exploring.

參議員的法案將允許明尼蘇達州投資委員會投資比特幣和其他加密貨幣，這一行動也在探索。

“I believe global digital currencies are here to stay and it’s inevitable that they become more and more mainstream. I'm proud to introduce this legislation to modernize Minnesota finances and create new possibilities for our residents,” Senator Miller said.

米勒參議員米勒說：“我相信全球數字貨幣將在這裡留下來，不可避免地成為越來越主流的。我很自豪地介紹這項立法，以使明尼蘇達州的財務現代化並為我們的居民創造新的可能性。”

The bill seeks to provide several advantages to the state and its residents. It would exempt investment gains from Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies from state income taxes. In the U.S., up to $10,000 paid to the state can be deducted from federal taxes, but amounts above that are taxed at both the state and federal levels.

該法案旨在為州及其居民提供一些優勢。它將免除比特幣和其他加密貨幣的投資收益。在美國，可以從聯邦稅收中扣除向州支付的10,000美元，但在州和聯邦一級徵稅的金額高於稅款。

The bill would also allow Minnesota state employees to include Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in their retirement accounts, expanding investment options beyond traditional assets.

該法案還將允許明尼蘇達州的僱員在退休帳戶中包括比特幣和其他加密貨幣，從而將投資期權擴大到傳統資產之外。

Moreover, the legislation would grant residents the flexibility to pay state taxes and fees using Bitcoin, further integrating the cryptocurrency into the state's financial system.

此外，該立法將賦予居民使用比特幣繳納州稅和費用的靈活性，並將加密貨幣進一步整合到該州的金融體系中。

Several state lawmakers are advancing plans for Bitcoin and crypto measures. Texas lawmakers are considering a plan for a state-managed Bitcoin reserve, much like Senator Cynthia Lummis’s proposal for a federal measure.

一些州議員正在推進比特幣和加密貨幣措施的計劃。德克薩斯州議員正在考慮針對州管理的比特幣保護區的計劃，就像參議員辛西婭·盧米斯（Cynthia Lummis）提出的聯邦措施一樣。

The New Hampshire Senate is set to vote on a bill that would let the state invest in Bitcoin, while Colorado and Utah already accept crypto for tax payments. Louisiana has begun using crypto for state service payments.

新罕布什爾州參議院將對一項將使該州投資比特幣的法案進行投票，而科羅拉多州和猶他州已經接受了加密貨幣的稅款。路易斯安那州已開始使用加密貨幣進行國家服務付款。

On the federal level, Senator Lummis is pushing for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, which directs the federal government to buy 200,000 Bitcoin annually for five years, ultimately accumulating 1 million Bitcoin.

在聯邦一級，參議員盧米斯（Lummis）正在推動一項戰略性比特幣儲備法，該法案指示聯邦政府每年購買200,000比特幣五年，最終積累了100萬比特幣。

Senator Lummis recently reintroduced the BITCOIN Act, which permits the government to hold over 1 million Bitcoin as part of a new reserve. The bill also aims to create a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, aiming to provide clarity and stability for the industry.

盧米斯參議員最近重新引入了《比特幣法》，該法案允許政府持有超過100萬比特幣作為新儲備的一部分。該法案還旨在為加密貨幣創建一個監管框架，旨在為行業提供清晰度和穩定性。
