蒙大拿州拒絕比特幣儲備法案，猶他州晉升提案，得克薩斯州舉行公開聽證會

蒙大拿州的眾議院已投票反對將比特幣指定為州儲備資產的提案。這一決定與猶他州為建立比特幣儲備的努力形成鮮明對比，而得克薩斯州首次公開聽證會。

Montana’s House of Representatives has voted against a proposal to designate Bitcoin as a state reserve asset, contrasting with Utah’s efforts to establish a Bitcoin reserve and Texas’ first public hearing on the matter.

蒙大拿州的眾議院已投票反對將比特幣指定為州儲備資產的提案，與猶他州建立比特幣儲備金和德克薩斯州關於此事的首次公開聽證會形成鮮明對比。

The bill aimed to create a special revenue account for investments in precious metals, stablecoins, and digital assets, with a focus on Bitcoin due to its market capitalization exceeding $750 billion on average in the past year. However, concerns arose regarding the speculative nature and volatility of digital assets, leading to opposition among lawmakers.

該法案旨在為貴金屬，穩定資產的投資創建一個特殊的收入帳戶，由於其市值平均超過了過去一年的市值超過7500億美元，因此重點關注比特幣。但是，人們對數字資產的投機性質和波動性引起了人們的關注，這導致立法者之間的反對。

They prioritized safeguarding public money, arguing that digital assets were too risky an investment and that traditional bonds, while safer, offered lower yields, potentially eroding the value of public funds over time.

他們優先考慮保障公共資金，認為數字資產過於冒險投資，而傳統債券雖然更安全，但提供了較低的收益率，可能會隨著時間的推移侵蝕公共資金的價值。

Despite proponents highlighting the possibility of generating higher returns and enhancing purchasing power by diversifying state investments, the bill was ultimately defeated by a 41-59 vote, reflecting the majority’s preference for caution.

儘管支持者強調了通過多元化國家投資產生更高回報並增強購買力的可能性，但該法案最終以41-59的投票擊敗，這反映了多數人對謹慎的偏愛。

Meanwhile, Utah is advancing its Bitcoin reserve initiative. The Blockchain and Digital Innovation Amendments bill (H.B. 230) is now in the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee after being introduced on January 21, 2025.

同時，猶他州正在推進其比特幣儲備計劃。區塊鍊和數字創新修正案法案（HB 230）在2025年1月21日提出後，現在在參議院收入和稅收委員會中。

The bill, which aims to incorporate Bitcoin into the state’s financial reserves, has gained momentum and bipartisan support, with an 8-1 vote in the House of Representatives.

該法案旨在將比特幣納入該州的金融儲備中，並在眾議院以8-1的投票獲得了勢頭和兩黨的支持。

If approved, Utah will be among the first states to integrate Bitcoin officially into its financial reserves, potentially setting a trend for other states to follow.

如果獲得批准，猶他州將是最早將比特幣正式整合到其財務儲備中的州之一，有可能為其他州遵循的趨勢樹立趨勢。

Moreover, Texas is also exploring the creation of a state-backed Bitcoin reserve. The state held its first public hearing on February 18 to discuss the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR).

此外，德克薩斯州還正在探索建立國家支持的比特幣儲備。該州於2月18日舉行了首次公開聽證會，討論建立戰略比特幣儲備（SBR）。

The hearing was intended to provide a platform for policymakers to examine the potential benefits and risks of including digital assets in the state’s financial strategy.

聽證會旨在為決策者提供一個平台，以研究將數字資產納入該州財務戰略的潛在收益和風險。

If the proposal advances, Texas will join the group of states that are actively integrating Bitcoin into their investment portfolios.

如果提案提出進展，德克薩斯州將加入積極將比特幣集成到其投資組合中的國家。
