俄亥俄州法案尋求在國庫設立“比特幣儲備”

該法案由俄亥俄州眾議院共和黨領袖德里克梅林提出。

Ohio Republicans are making moves to integrate Bitcoin into the state's financial plan.

俄亥俄州共和黨人正在採取行動將比特幣納入該州的財政計劃。

On Wednesday, Derek Merrin, Leader of the Ohio House Republicans, announced that he had filed House Bill 703, which would allow the state treasurer to invest in Bitcoin with the aim of creating an “Ohio Bitcoin Reserve” in the state treasury.

週三，俄亥俄州眾議院共和黨領袖德里克·梅林(Derek Merrin) 宣布，他已提交眾議院703 號法案，該法案將允許州財政部長投資比特幣，目的是在州財政部創建“俄亥俄州比特幣儲備” 。

Merrin, who is also the former Mayor of Waterville, announced the bill's filing on Twitter.

兼任沃特維爾市長的梅林在推特上宣布了該法案的提交。

“Provides state treasurer authority & flexibility to invest in #Bitcoin,” Merrin wrote in the tweet. “This legislation creates the framework for Ohio’s state government to harness the power of Bitcoin to strengthen our…”

「為州財政部長提供投資#Bitcoin 的權力和靈活性，」梅林在推文中寫道。 “這項立法為俄亥俄州政府創建了一個框架，以利用比特幣的力量來加強我們的…”

If passed, the bill would mark a significant step in government crypto adoption, as it would give the treasurer the authority to invest in Bitcoin from the state treasury.

如果獲得通過，該法案將標誌著政府採用加密貨幣的重要一步，因為它將賦予財政部長從國庫投資比特幣的權力。

Proponents of the move, such as U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis, have highlighted the potential benefits of including Bitcoin in state reserves, especially given its growing acceptance as a payment method by large corporations and some government agencies.

此舉的支持者，例如美國參議員辛西婭·魯米斯（Cynthia Lummis），強調了將比特幣納入國家儲備的潛在好處，特別是考慮到大公司和一些政府機構越來越接受比特幣作為支付方式。

According to Matthew Sigel, head of Digital Assets Research at VanEck, such a move by Ohio could further bolster Bitcoin's legitimacy within the traditional financial system, ultimately driving more corporate adoption for digital assets.

VanEck 數位資產研究主管 Matthew Sigel 表示，俄亥俄州的這項舉措可能會進一步增強比特幣在傳統金融體系中的合法性，最終推動更多企業採用數位資產。

“If Ohio does this, it will put pressure on other states and the federal government to follow suit,” Sigel said. “It will also help pave the way for more corporate adoption of digital assets by legitimizing the asset class within the traditional financial system.”

西格爾說：“如果俄亥俄州這樣做，就會給其他州和聯邦政府帶來壓力，要求他們效仿。” “它還將通過使傳統金融體系內的資產類別合法化，為更多企業採用數位資產鋪平道路。”

In 2022, Ohio's public debt amounted to $72.16 billion, as reported by Statista. The majority of this debt comprises general obligation bonds and special obligation bonds used to fund infrastructure projects, education, and other public initiatives.

根據 Statista 報道，2022 年，俄亥俄州的公共債務達到 721.6 億美元。這些債務大部分包括一般義務債券和特殊義務債券，用於資助基礎設施項目、教育和其他公共措施。

Hence, if Ohio were to add Bitcoin to its treasury reserves, the state would likely enhance its long-term financial solvency. Over time, this strategy could improve Ohio's fiscal outlook, reducing the need for tax increases or service cuts and enabling the state to meet its obligations more effectively.

因此，如果俄亥俄州將比特幣添加到其國庫儲備中，該州可能會增強其長期財務償付能力。隨著時間的推移，這項策略可能會改善俄亥俄州的財政前景，減少增稅或削減服務的需要，並使該州能夠更有效地履行其義務。
