溫哥華市長 Ken Sim 提議將比特幣 (BTC) 添加到該市的資產負債表中

在最近的比特幣相關新聞中，溫哥華市長 Ken Sim 提議將 BTC 添加到該市的資產負債表中，以實現投資多元化。

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is proposing that the city add Bitcoin to its balance sheet, making it the latest government to consider the cryptocurrency as a reserve asset.

溫哥華市長 Ken Sim 提議該市將比特幣添加到其資產負債表中，使其成為最新一個將加密貨幣視為儲備資產的政府。

The proposal, which will be formally presented on December 11, is part of an effort to diversify the city’s investments and preserve its purchasing power.

該提案將於 12 月 11 日正式提出，是該市投資多元化和保持購買力努力的一部分。

“We need to be thinking about the future and how we can best protect our city's finances,” Sim said in a statement. “Adding Bitcoin to our balance sheet is a strategic move that will help us to do just that.”

「我們需要考慮未來以及如何最好地保護我們城市的財政，」西姆在一份聲明中說。 “將比特幣添加到我們的資產負債表中是一項戰略舉措，將幫助我們做到這一點。”

The city’s move comes as corporations and governments begin to embrace Bitcoin as a hedge of sorts against inflation and geopolitical risk.

在這座城市採取這項措施之際，企業和政府開始接受比特幣作為對沖通膨和地緣政治風險的手段。

MicroStrategy and Brazil are among the global entities that are already looking at Bitcoin as a reserve asset — and if Vancouver passes this proposal, it could open the door for other cities and countries to follow suit.

MicroStrategy 和巴西等全球實體已經將比特幣視為儲備資產——如果溫哥華通過這項提案，可能會為其他城市和國家效仿打開大門。

The proposal, titled “Preserving the City’s Purchasing Power Through Diversification of Financial Resources: Becoming a Bitcoin-Friendly City,” will be presented to council for a vote on December 11. If passed, it would direct city staff to develop a framework for the integration of Bitcoin into the city’s financial strategy.

該提案題為“透過金融資源多元化保護城市的購買力：成為比特幣友好城市”，將於12 月11 日提交議會投票。的發展。

The framework would include recommendations on the amount of Bitcoin to be acquired, the method of acquisition, the custodian to be used, and the legal, regulatory, and accounting considerations involved in holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

該框架將包括關於要收購的比特幣數量、收購方法、要使用的託管人以及持有比特幣作為儲備資產所涉及的法律、監管和會計考慮的建議。

The proposal also includes a provision that would require the city to hold Bitcoin for a minimum of five years, and it would prohibit the city from selling or disposing of Bitcoin without the approval of council.

該提案還包括一項條款，要求該市持有比特幣至少五年，並將禁止該市未經市議會批准出售或處置比特幣。

The move by Vancouver would be significant, as it would mark the first time that a major city has adopted Bitcoin as a reserve asset. However, the proposal is also likely to face some opposition, given the volatility of cryptocurrency prices and the regulatory uncertainty surrounding cryptocurrencies.

溫哥華的此舉意義重大，因為這將標誌著一個大城市首次採用比特幣作為儲備資產。然而，考慮到加密貨幣價格的波動性以及圍繞加密貨幣的監管不確定性，該提議也可能面臨一些反對。

If Vancouver does ultimately decide to add Bitcoin to its balance sheet, it would join a growing list of institutions that are using cryptocurrency as a reserve asset.

如果溫哥華最終決定將比特幣添加到其資產負債表中，它將加入越來越多使用加密貨幣作為儲備資產的機構行列。

Institutions such as MicroStrategy and the Baltimore Ravens are among those that have already taken this step, and their experiences could provide valuable lessons for Vancouver as it considers its own options.

MicroStrategy 和巴爾的摩烏鴉隊等機構已經採取了這一步驟，他們的經驗可以為溫哥華考慮自己的選擇提供寶貴的經驗教訓。
