Ohio Considers Adding Bitcoin to State Reserves Ohio legislators have been actively advancing crypto-friendly bills in the past year. In September, Senator Niraj Antani introduced legislation that would require the state to accept cryptocurrency payments for taxes and fees. The bill also aimed to permit state institutions and pension funds to invest in digital assets.

In December, Ohio House Republican Leader Derek Merrin took things a step further with HB 703, dubbed the Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Act. The proposal would grant the state treasurer the ability to purchase Bitcoin as part of Ohio’s financial strategy, although it does not mandate such investments.

去年12月，俄亥俄州眾議院共和黨領導人德里克·梅林（Derek Merrin）以HB 703邁出了一步，被稱為《俄亥俄州比特幣儲備法》。該提案將授予州財務主管購買比特幣作為俄亥俄州財務戰略的一部分的能力，儘管它沒有授權此類投資。

Merrin supported the bill by highlighting the diminishing value of the U.S. dollar, underscoring its rapid devaluation and emphasizing the need for the Treasurer to have greater authority to manage assets effectively. Bitcoin, he asserted, serves as a hedge against financial decline. Ohio, he stated, must embrace technological advancements to safeguard public funds better.

Merrin通過強調美元的價值降低，強調其快速貶值，並強調財務主管有效管理資產有效管理資產的權力，從而支持該法案。他斷言，比特幣是抵制財務下降的對沖。他說，俄亥俄州必須採取技術進步，以更好地保護公共資金。

Continuing this momentum, another bill was put forward in February by Ohio Senator Sandra O’Brien to establish an Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Fund. The legislation mandates that Bitcoin investments be held for a minimum of five years and outlines secure custody measures for the state's BTC holdings.

繼續這一勢頭，俄亥俄州參議員桑德拉·奧布賴恩（Sandra O'Brien）於2月提出了另一項法案，以建立俄亥俄州比特幣儲備基金。該立法要求將比特幣投資至少持續五年，並概述了該州BTC持有的安全監護措施。
