俄亥俄州代表德里克梅林 (Derek Merrin) 介紹俄亥俄州比特幣儲備法案（眾議院法案 703）

該法案將允許州財政部長在俄亥俄州財政部內創建一個比特幣基金。雖然立法賦予財政部長購買比特幣的權力

Ohio State Representative Derek Merrin has introduced the Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Act (House Bill 703) to the Ohio House of Representatives. The bill would permit the State Treasurer to establish a Bitcoin fund within Ohio’s treasury.

俄亥俄州代表德里克梅林 (Derek Merrin) 向俄亥俄州眾議院提交了俄亥俄州比特幣儲備法案（眾議院法案 703）。該法案將允許州財政部長在俄亥俄州財政部內建立一個比特幣基金。

Although the legislation grants the Treasurer the authority to purchase Bitcoin, it does not obligate them to do so.

儘管該立法授予財政部長購買比特幣的權力，但並沒有強制他們這樣做。

Merrin highlighted the urgent need for Ohio to embrace Bitcoin as a modern and strategic financial asset, emphasizing that the value of the U.S. dollar is rapidly diminishing.

梅林強調俄亥俄州迫切需要將比特幣作為現代戰略金融資產，並強調美元的價值正在迅速貶值。

He noted that Bitcoin offers flexibility in managing state finances and provides a way to protect tax dollars from further loss. Integrating Bitcoin into Ohio’s financial framework will position the state to stay ahead of economic changes.

他指出，比特幣在管理國家財政方面提供了靈活性，並提供了一種保護稅收免受進一步損失的方法。將比特幣納入俄亥俄州的金融框架將使該州在經濟變革中保持領先地位。

At the federal level, Merrin anticipates that the incoming Trump administration will push for a national Bitcoin reserve. This move would aim to strengthen the country’s financial position by using Bitcoin as a safeguard against inflation and economic instability.

在聯邦層面，梅林預計即將上任的川普政府將推動建立國家比特幣儲備。此舉旨在透過使用比特幣作為抵禦通貨膨脹和經濟不穩定的保障措施來加強該國的財務狀況。

Similar discussions are already taking place in states like Texas and Pennsylvania, which have introduced their own Bitcoin reserve proposals.

類似的討論已經在德克薩斯州和賓夕法尼亞州等州進行，這些州已經推出了自己的比特幣儲備提案。

Globally, other countries are also recognizing Bitcoin as a valuable financial tool. El Salvador, for example, has already adopted Bitcoin as legal tender and continue to add it to their national reserves. Bhutan holds more than $1.3 billion in Bitcoin.

在全球範圍內，其他國家也認識到比特幣是一種有價值的金融工具。例如，薩爾瓦多已經採用比特幣作為法定貨幣，並繼續將其添加到國家儲備中。不丹持有超過 13 億美元的比特幣。

Several other governments are exploring Bitcoin as a reserve asset to diversify their financial holdings and reduce dependence on traditional currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar. These efforts reflect a growing trend toward using Bitcoin as a strategic hedge in uncertain economic times.

其他幾個政府正在探索將比特幣作為儲備資產，以實現金融資產多元化並減少對傳統貨幣（尤其是美元）的依賴。這些努力反映了在不確定的經濟時期使用比特幣作為戰略對沖手段的日益增長的趨勢。

Just recently, a French EU parliament member called for a bitcoin reserve as a way to hedge against adverse economic situations. Although the US think tank cofounder argue a bitcoin reserve won’t fix the US debt issue.

就在最近，一位法國歐盟議會成員呼籲建立比特幣儲備，以對沖不利的經濟狀況。儘管美國智庫聯合創始人認為比特幣儲備並不能解決美國債務問題。

Merrin called Bitcoin “digital property rights for everyone who owns it” and described it as a revolutionary financial tool that will reshape global economies. He explained that this legislation creates a strong framework for Ohio to leverage Bitcoin to strengthen its financial stability.

梅林稱比特幣為“每個擁有它的人的數位財產權”，並將其描述為革命性的金融工具，將重塑全球經濟。他解釋說，這項立法為俄亥俄州利用比特幣加強其金融穩定性創造了一個強大的框架。

Andrew Burchwell, Executive Director of the Ohio Blockchain Council, praised Merrin’s efforts, noting that governments around the world—including states like Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania—are already considering Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Burchwell stressed that Ohio must act now to secure its leadership position in innovation and technology.

俄亥俄州區塊鏈委員會執行董事 Andrew Burchwell 讚揚了 Merrin 的努力，並指出世界各地的政府（包括德克薩斯州、佛羅裡達州和賓夕法尼亞州等州）已經在考慮將比特幣作為儲備資產。伯奇韋爾強調，俄亥俄州必須立即採取行動，以確保其在創新和技術領域的領導地位。

With the current legislative session nearing its end, Merrin hopes the Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Act will serve as a foundation for lawmakers to revisit and pass in 2025. He believes this bill will enable Ohio to take advantage of Bitcoin’s opportunities and ensure the state remains competitive on both a national and global scale.

隨著當前立法會議接近尾聲，Merrin 希望《俄亥俄州比特幣儲備法案》能夠成為立法者在2025 年重新審議並通過的基礎。州在比特幣領域保持競爭力。
