俄亥俄州在加密世界中大膽的舉動，新法案旨在創建一個州比特幣儲備

參議員桑德拉·奧布賴恩（Sandra O'Brien）提出了一項提案，該提案將使該州的財務主管投資比特幣，使俄亥俄州成為越來越多的人之一

Ohio may soon be joining the ranks of U.S. states embracing digital assets, as a new bill aims to create a state Bitcoin reserve. The bill, introduced by Senator Sandra O’Brien, would allow the state’s treasurer to invest in Bitcoin.

俄亥俄州可能很快就會加入美國各州擁護數字資產，因為一項新法案旨在創建州比特幣儲備。參議員桑德拉·奧布萊恩（Sandra O'Brien）提出的該法案將允許該州的財務主管對比特幣進行投資。

The bill, Senate Bill 57, was introduced on January 28 and referred to the Financial Institutions, Insurance, and Technology Committee a day later. If passed, the law would establish the “Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Fund.”

該法案是參議院第57號法案，於1月28日提出，並在一天后轉介給金融機構，保險和技術委員會。如果通過，法律將建立“俄亥俄州比特幣儲備基金”。

The fund would allow the state to invest public funds solely in Bitcoin and stipulate that these holdings be securely stored for at least five years. The bill also proposes that Ohio state agencies and government entities accept Bitcoin for payments, including taxes, fees, and fines. Once received, the funds will be converted into Bitcoin and stored in the reserve.

該基金將允許該州僅用於比特幣投資公共資金，並規定這些持股至少儲存了五年。該法案還建議，俄亥俄州州機構和政府實體接受比特幣進行付款，包括稅收，費用和罰款。收到後，資金將轉換為比特幣並存儲在儲備金中。

Furthermore, Ohio residents, state agencies, and universities will have the option to donate Bitcoin to the fund. The bill even suggests creating a recognition program to honor major contributors, further encouraging Bitcoin adoption at the state level.

此外，俄亥俄州居民，州機構和大學將可以選擇向該基金捐贈比特幣。該法案甚至建議制定一個認可計劃來尊重主要貢獻者，進一步鼓勵在州一級採用比特幣。

This isn’t Ohio’s first attempt to embrace Bitcoin. In December, Ohio House Republican leader Derek Merrin introduced a similar bill, HB 703, which would give the state treasurer the option to allocate Bitcoin to a reserve fund, Merrin argued that the devaluation of the U.S. dollar makes it essential for states to explore alternative assets like Bitcoin.

這不是俄亥俄州接受比特幣的第一次嘗試。去年12月，俄亥俄州眾議院共和黨領導人德里克·梅林（Derek Merrin）提出了類似的法案，即HB 703，該法案將使州財務主管可以選擇將比特幣分配給儲備金，梅林認為美元貶值使各州探索替代方案至關重要像比特幣這樣的資產。

Ohio isn’t the only state pushing for crypto adoption. Across the U.S., other states like Utah and Arizona are also advancing bills to allow public funds to be invested in cryptocurrencies. In total, more than twelve U.S. states are considering legislation to allow Bitcoin reserves.

俄亥俄州並不是唯一推動採用加密貨幣的國家。在整個美國，猶他州和亞利桑那州等其他州也正在促進法案，以允許公共資金投資於加密貨幣。總的來說，美國十二個州正在考慮立法以允許比特幣儲備。
