美國懷俄明州參議員辛西婭·魯米斯 (Cynthia Lummis) 在接受雅虎財經採訪時概述了一項提議,即授予美聯儲持有比特幣作為美國官方儲備一部分的權力。
United States Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) has proposed granting the Federal Reserve the authority to hold Bitcoin as part of the country’s official reserves in an interview with Yahoo Finance. She argues that this approach could improve the country’s long-term financial stability, strengthen the global role of the US dollar, and provide a valuable hedge against the nation’s ballooning national debt, which now surpasses 36 trillion dollars.
美國參議員辛西婭·盧米斯(懷俄明州共和黨)在接受雅虎財經採訪時提議授予聯準會持有比特幣作為國家官方儲備一部分的權力。她認為,這種做法可以改善該國的長期金融穩定性,加強美元的全球地位,並為該國不斷膨脹的國債(目前已超過 36 兆美元)提供有價值的對沖。
The senator’s remarks directly confront the current stance of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. At the latest Federal Open Market Committee press conference, Powell reiterated that the Federal Reserve Act restricts the institution from owning it. “We’re not allowed to own Bitcoin. The Federal Reserve Act says what we can’t own [it], and we’re not looking for a law change. That’s the kind of thing for Congress to consider, but we are not looking for a law change at the Fed,” Powell remarked on Wednesday.
這位參議員的言論直接挑戰了聯準會主席鮑威爾目前的立場。在最新的聯邦公開市場委員會新聞發布會上,鮑威爾重申,聯準會法案限制機構擁有它。 「我們不被允許擁有比特幣。 《聯邦儲備法》規定了我們不能擁有的東西,而且我們並不尋求修改法律。這是國會需要考慮的事情,但我們並不尋求聯準會修改法律,」鮑威爾週三表示。
Lummis acknowledged this legal roadblock but remained determined to shift the conversation in Congress. She believes lawmakers need to give the central bank the authority to hold Bitcoin. “I understand the Federal Reserve believes it doesn’t have the legal authority to own Bitcoin,” Lummis said. “We need to give that to them. The Bitcoin the US already owns, roughly 200,000 Bitcoin, are within the asset forfeiture fund, and it’s important I think that we take that fund, scoop it over into a strategic Bitcoin reserve, and then add to it.”
魯米斯承認有這一法律障礙,但仍決心改變國會的對話。她認為立法者需要賦予央行持有比特幣的權力。 「據我所知,聯準會認為它沒有擁有比特幣的合法權力,」魯米斯說。 「我們需要把這個給他們。美國已經擁有的比特幣,大約 20 萬個比特幣,都在資產沒收基金內,我認為重要的是,我們將這筆基金納入比特幣戰略儲備,然後添加到其中。
Her proposal aligns with principles set forth in the Bitcoin Act of 2024, introduced earlier this year. It seeks to establish a SBR in the US to enhance the national financial strategy. The Act involves setting up secure BTC storage facilities, purchasing 1 million BTC over five years, and funding these purchases through existing financial reserves without increasing taxpayer burden.
她的提案符合今年稍早推出的《2024 年比特幣法案》中規定的原則。它尋求在美國建立一個SBR以加強國家金融戰略。該法案涉及建立安全的 BTC 儲存設施,在五年內購買 100 萬個 BTC,並透過現有的財政儲備為這些購買提供資金,而不增加納稅人的負擔。
“It absolutely is the right asset,” she said, describing BTC’s properties. “It is digital gold. It is a finite source—only 21 million BTC will ever be mined. Even though it’s slightly volatile, it’s always volatile in an upward leaning direction, and so the goal here of holding it for 20 years is in recognition that on the short term, there is short-term volatility. In the long term, there is long-term growth that far exceeds the ability of the US dollar to keep up.”
「這絕對是正確的資產,」她在描述比特幣的特性時說。 “這是數位黃金。它的來源有限——只能開採 2,100 萬枚比特幣。儘管它有輕微的波動,但它總是在向上傾斜的方向波動,因此持有它 20 年的目標是認識到短期內存在短期波動。從長遠來看,長期增長遠遠超出了美元跟上的能力。
Lummis cited historical growth trends to bolster her argument. Although Bitcoin has existed for only 15 years, she views its long-term trajectory as overwhelmingly positive. While she acknowledges that growth may slow from the early years—declining from 55% annual growth to figures like 45% or 35%—it would still, in her estimation, “continue to grow, where the US dollar will continue to decline in value.” She sees in these figures a bulwark against the inexorable erosion of purchasing power that comes with a currency deliberately managed to produce steady inflation.
魯米斯引用了歷史成長趨勢來支持她的論點。儘管比特幣僅存在了 15 年,但她認為其長期發展軌跡絕對是積極的。雖然她承認經濟成長可能會比早年放緩——從年增長率 55% 下降到 45% 或 35% 左右——但在她看來,經濟增長仍將“繼續增長,而美元將繼續貶值” ” 。她在這些數字中看到了抵禦購買力無情侵蝕的堡壘,這種侵蝕是故意設法產生穩定通貨膨脹的貨幣所帶來的。
Senator Lummis’ proposal comes amid growing interest from institutions and governments in exploring the potential benefits of Bitcoin. As the world’s leading cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Bitcoin has attracted attention for its unique properties, including scarcity, portability, and divisibility. Its decentralized nature and the absence of a single point of failure have also contributed to its increasing popularity.
參議員盧米斯提出這項提議之際,機構和政府對探索比特幣的潛在好處越來越感興趣。作為全球市值領先的加密貨幣,比特幣因其稀缺性、可移植性和可分割性等獨特屬性而備受關注。它的去中心化性質和不存在單點故障也導致了它的日益普及。
The senator's proposal would also require the Federal Reserve to report annually on its Bitcoin holdings, including the average purchase price, the total value of the holdings, and any changes in the holdings. The report would also include an analysis of the impact of the Bitcoin holdings on the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, the US dollar, and the national debt.
參議員的提議還要求聯準會每年報告其比特幣持有情況,包括平均購買價格、持有的總價值以及持有的任何變化。該報告還將分析持有比特幣對聯準會資產負債表、美元和國債的影響。
Senator Lummis is a strong advocate for Bitcoin and has previously introduced legislation that would establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) in the US. The SBR would be funded through existing financial reserves without increasing taxpayer burden.
Lummis 參議員是比特幣的堅定支持者,此前曾提出立法,在美國建立比特幣戰略儲備(SBR)。 SBR將透過現有的財政儲備提供資金,而不會增加納稅人的負擔。
In March 2024, Lummis and Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) introduced the Bitcoin Act of 2024, which would prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC). The bill would also require the Federal Reserve to purchase 1 million BTC over five years, starting with 200,000 BTC in the first year.
2024 年 3 月,Lummis 和參議員 Joe Manchin (D-WV) 提出了 2024 年比特幣法案,該法案將禁止聯準會發行央行數位貨幣 (CBDC)。該法案還要求聯準會在五年內購買 100 萬比特幣,第一年購買 20 萬比特幣。
The bill has not yet been scheduled for a vote in the Senate Banking Committee.
該法案尚未安排在參議院銀行委員會進行投票。
