俄亥俄州提議在國庫設立比特幣基金的法案

俄亥俄州眾議院共和黨領袖德里克梅林 (Derek Merrin) 提出了一項在州財政部設立比特幣基金的新法案，使俄亥俄州成為美國一個多月內第三個提出此類舉措的州。

Ohio could become the third U.S. state to propose the establishment of a Bitcoin fund in the state treasury.

俄亥俄州可能成為美國第三個提議在國庫設立比特幣基金的州。

The bill, introduced by Ohio House Republican leader Derek Merrin, would give the state treasurer the authority to purchase Bitcoin as part of the state's asset allocation strategy.

該法案由俄亥俄州眾議院共和黨領袖德里克梅林 (Derek Merrin) 提出，將賦予州財政部長購買比特幣的權力，作為該州資產配置策略的一部分。

The bill, HB 703, is called the Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Act. It would give the state treasurer the authority to purchase Bitcoin as part of the state’s asset allocation strategy, though it wouldn’t require it.

該法案 HB 703，被稱為俄亥俄州比特幣儲備法案。它將賦予州財政部長購買比特幣的權力，作為州資產配置策略的一部分，儘管它並沒有要求這樣做。

Merrin said the bill is designed to protect Ohio tax dollars from the rapidly devaluing U.S. dollar and to help the state embrace technology.

梅林表示，該法案旨在保護俄亥俄州稅收免受美元迅速貶值的影響，並幫助該州擁抱科技。

“Ohio must embrace technology and protect tax dollars from eroding,” Merrin said.

「俄亥俄州必須擁抱技術並保護稅收免受侵蝕，」梅林說。

The bill is expected to serve as a framework for the upcoming legislative session, starting in January 2025, after the current session ends on December 31, 2024.

該法案預計將在本屆立法會議於 2024 年 12 月 31 日結束後，作為即將於 2025 年 1 月開始的立法會議的框架。

This bill follows similar actions in Texas and Pennsylvania.

該法案是在德克薩斯州和賓夕法尼亞州採取類似行動之後提出的。

Texas House Rep. Giovanni Capriglione recently introduced the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, proposing Bitcoin as a reserve asset for the state.

德州眾議院眾議員喬瓦尼·卡普里廖內 (Giovanni Capriglione) 最近提出了《德州戰略比特幣儲備法案》，提議將比特幣作為該州的儲備資產。

In Pennsylvania, Rep. Mike Cabell proposed allowing the state’s treasury to hold up to 10% in Bitcoin to hedge against economic instability.

在賓州，眾議員 Mike Cabell 提議允許州財政部持有最多 10% 的比特幣，以對沖經濟不穩定。

Merrin, a vocal supporter of crypto, believes that Bitcoin’s potential to revolutionize finance could strengthen Ohio’s finances.

梅林是加密貨幣的堅定支持者，他認為比特幣徹底改變金融的潛力可以增強俄亥俄州的財務狀況。

“We must have sound money — it’s like digital property rights for everyone who owns it,” Merrin said.

「我們必須擁有健全的貨幣——這就像每個擁有它的人的數位財產權，」梅林說。

With the growing momentum behind state-level Bitcoin reserves, the U.S. may be seeing a shift in how governments approach digital currencies.

隨著國家級比特幣儲備的不斷增長，美國政府處理數位貨幣的方式可能會發生轉變。
