德州參議員查爾斯·施韋特納 (Charles Schwertner) 提出建立比特幣戰略儲備的法案

Texas State Senator Charles Schwertner has introduced a bill in the new legislative session to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the Lone Star State.

德州參議員查爾斯·施韋特納 (Charles Schwertner) 在新的立法會議上提出了一項法案，要求在孤星州建立比特幣戰略儲備。

“It’s time for Texas to lead the way in establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,” the Republican politician and physician said while announcing the Senate Bill (SB 778) on Monday (Jan. 16).

這位共和黨政治家兼醫生在周一（1 月 16 日）宣布參議院法案 (SB 778) 時表示：“德克薩斯州是時候帶頭建立戰略比特幣儲備了。”

“If passed and signed into law, [it] would make Texas the first state in the nation to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,” he said before adding, “This would position our state at the forefront of the digital economy, driving growth and securing economic freedom for our great state.”

「如果通過並簽署成為法律，[它將]使德克薩斯州成為美國第一個建立戰略比特幣儲備的州，」他補充道，「這將使我們的州處於數位經濟的前沿，推動經濟成長和確保我們偉大國家的經濟自由。

The Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act aims to establish a special fund outside the general revenue fund, allowing the state to own and hold Bitcoin ( BTC ) as a financial asset and to accept Bitcoin donations from the public.

德州戰略比特幣儲備法案旨在在一般收入基金之外設立一個特別基金，允許該州擁有和持有比特幣（BTC）作為金融資產，並接受公眾的比特幣捐贈。

It recognized BTC as a “valuable digital asset with strategic potential for enhancing this state’s financial resilience” while acknowledging its decentralized nature and finite supply, which are “unique qualities that can serve as a hedge against inflation and economic volatility.”

它承認比特幣是一種“有價值的數位資產，具有增強國家金融彈性的戰略潛力”，同時承認其去中心化性質和有限供應，這是“可以對沖通貨膨脹和經濟波動的獨特品質”。

The bill proposes implementing secure storage and management systems while mandating cold storage and regular audits for transparency and security. Legislature can appropriate funds to purchase Bitcoin with funding limited to 1% of general revenue.

該法案建議實施安全儲存和管理系統，同時強制要求冷藏和定期審計以確保透明度和安全性。立法機關可以撥款購買比特幣，資金上限為一般收入的 1%。

SB 778 is not the first legislation proposed to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the Lone Star State. In December, Texas Representative Giovanni Capriglione proposed a draft Texas strategic Bitcoin reserve bill that would allow residents and government entities to donate BTC to the reserve.

SB 778 並不是第一個提議在孤星州建立比特幣戰略儲備的立法。去年12 月，德州眾議員喬瓦尼·卡普里廖內(Giovanni Capriglione) 提出了德州戰略比特幣儲備法案草案，該法案將允許居民和政府實體向儲備捐贈BTC 。

This bill (HB 1598), which was submitted through the House rather than the Senate, proposed the comptroller hold Bitcoin as a reserve asset for at least five years.

該法案（HB 1598）是透過眾議院而不是參議院提交的，提議審計長將比特幣作為儲備資產持有至少五年。

Cointelegraph reached out to Senator Schwertner for clarification on the differences between the two bills but did not receive an immediate response.

Cointelegraph 聯繫了參議員施韋特納，要求澄清這兩項法案之間的差異，但沒有立即得到回應。

Meanwhile, Texas is not the only state that is angling for a strategic BTC reserve.

同時，德州並不是唯一一個尋求比特幣戰略儲備的州。

On Jan. 15, Representative Cody Maynard proposed HB 1203, the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act for the state of Oklahoma, which shares a northern border with Texas.

1 月 15 日，眾議員科迪·梅納德 (Cody Maynard) 提出了 HB 1203，即俄克拉荷馬州戰略比特幣儲備法案，該州與德克薩斯州北部接壤。

If passed, the legislation would allow Oklahoma’s pension funds and state savings accounts to allocate a portion of their assets to Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation.

如果獲得通過，該法案將允許俄克拉荷馬州的退休基金和州儲蓄帳戶將其部分資產分配給比特幣，以對沖通膨。

Pennsylvania lawmakers submitted a proposal for a Bitcoin strategic reserve in the state in November, while North Dakota and New Hampshire introduced similar bills earlier this month.

賓州立法者於 11 月提交了一份在該州設立比特幣戰略儲備的提案，而北達科他州和新罕布夏州則在本月稍早提出了類似的法案。
