A new Bitcoin bill has been tabled in the Minnesota state senate that proposes permitting investments in Bitcoin and fosters cryptocurrency use in specific domains.

明尼苏达州参议院提出了一项新的比特币法案，该法案提议允许对比特币进行投资，并促进在特定领域的加密货币使用。

In a March 18 statement, Senator Jeremy Miller, who introduced the Minnesota Bitcoin Act (SF2661), said the legislation aims to modernize the state’s financial landscape and position Minnesota as a leader in digital assets.

在3月18日的声明中，介绍了《明尼苏达州比特币法》（SF2661）的参议员杰里米·米勒（Jeremy Miller）表示，该立法旨在使该州的金融景观和明尼苏达州的职位现代化为数字资产领导者。

As part of the bill, the Minnesota State Board of Investment would be able to invest state funds in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, similar to how they invest in stocks, bonds, and other traditional assets.

作为该法案的一部分，明尼苏达州投资委员会将能够投资于比特币和其他加密货币，类似于他们投资于股票，债券和其他传统资产的方式。

State employees will also have the option to diversify their retirement plans with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

州雇员还可以选择将其退休计划与比特币和其他加密货币多样化。

The legislation would also enable residents to pay state taxes and fees with Bitcoin, continuing the trend started by states like Colorado and Utah.

该立法还将使居民能够向比特币缴纳州税和费用，继续由科罗拉多州和犹他州等州开始的趋势。

Additionally, the bill includes tax incentives for cryptocurrency earnings, allowing certain gains from Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to be subtracted from taxable income.

此外，该法案还包括加密货币收益的税收优惠，从而使比特币和其他加密货币的某些收益从应税收入中减去。

“I believe global digital currencies are here to stay, and it’s inevitable that they become more and more mainstream,” Miller said in a statement.

米勒在一份声明中说：“我相信全球数字货币将在这里留下来，这是不可避免的，它们变得越来越主流。”

According to the senator, cryptocurrencies would benefit Minnesota by providing “new financial opportunities” and giving the state a “strategic position to take advantage of being on the forefront of this digital revolution.”

参议员说，加密货币将通过提供“新的财务机会”并赋予该州“战略地位，以利用这一数字革命的最前沿”来使明尼苏达州受益。

“Crypto is a versatile digital asset that can be used in multiple ways, including as investments, global currency, or a hedge against inflation,” he added.

他补充说：“加密是一种多功能的数字资产，可以通过多种方式使用，包括作为投资，全球货币或抵抗通货膨胀的对冲。”

Minnesota joins over a dozen other U.S. states that are considering state cryptocurrency investments in 2023. Some states, like Arizona and Texas, are juggling several bills.

明尼苏达州加入了其他十几个正在考虑2023年州加密货币投资的美国州。某些州，例如亚利桑那州和德克萨斯州，正在挑战几项法案。

On March 11, Texas state lawmakers presented House Bill 4258, which allows Texas’ chief accountant and financial watchdog to invest up to $250 million of the state’s economic stabilization fund balance in Bitcoin or other kinds of crypto assets.

3月11日，德克萨斯州立法者提出了4258号法案，该法案允许德克萨斯州的首席会计师和金融监管机构以比特币或其他类型的加密资产投资该州经济稳定基金的2.5亿美元。

The bill, which is now pending in the state legislature, would permit investments in cryptocurrencies despite the lack of clear guidance on how such investments would be made or the criteria used to select crypto assets for the state’s portfolio.

该法案现在正在州立法机关中审理，尽管缺乏有关如何进行此类投资或用于选择该州投资组合的加密货币资产的标准，但该法案将允许对加密货币进行投资。

The legislation follows a previous attempt in 2022 to pass a bill that would have allowed the state to invest up to 1% of its treasury in Bitcoin, which ultimately failed to gain approval.

该立法是在2022年以前的一项法案之前，该法案将使该州在比特币中投资多达1％的财政部，最终未能获得批准。

Earlier this year, the investment arm of the University of Texas disclosed an investment of $1.5 billion in a newly launched cryptocurrency fund.

今年早些时候，德克萨斯大学的投资部门披露了新成立的加密货币基金的15亿美元投资。
