佛罗里达州首席财务官帕特罗尼斯要求养老基金经理探索投资比特币

佛罗里达州首席财务官吉米·帕特罗尼斯 (Jimmy Patronis) 已正式要求该州养老基金经理探索投资比特币的可行性。

Florida’s Chief Financial Officer, Jimmy Patronis, has formally requested that the state’s pension fund managers explore the feasibility of investing in Bitcoin, positioning the state to potentially adopt BTC as a strategic reserve asset.

佛罗里达州首席财务官吉米·帕特罗尼斯 (Jimmy Patronis) 已正式要求该州养老基金经理探索投资比特币的可行性，使该州有可能采用比特币作为战略储备资产。

In a letter dated October 29, 2024, addressed to Chris Spencer, Executive Director of the Florida State Board of Administration (SBA), Patronis outlines his vision for integrating Bitcoin into the state’s investment portfolio.

在 2024 年 10 月 29 日致佛罗里达州行政委员会 (SBA) 执行董事 Chris Spencer 的一封信中，Patronis 概述了他将比特币纳入该州投资组合的愿景。

Patronis’s proposal follows former President Donald Trump’s recent speech at the Bitcoin 2024 conference, where Trump called for the United States to establish a national stockpile of Bitcoin. “This comes as the Communist Party of China makes inroads every day into the crypto world to grab control over this emerging currency,” Patronis notes, citing geopolitical motivations for embracing Bitcoin.

Patronis 的提议是在前总统唐纳德·特朗普最近在比特币 2024 会议上发表讲话之后提出的，特朗普在会上呼吁美国建立国家比特币储备。帕特罗尼斯指出：“中国共产党每天都在进军加密货币世界，以夺取对这种新兴货币的控制权。”他引用了接受比特币的地缘政治动机。

He further highlights Trump’s leadership in the matter. “Trump said he would establish a crypto presidential advisory council and create a national “stockpile” of Bitcoin using cryptocurrency the US government currently holds, mostly seized in law enforcement actions. I believe this forethought and innovative thinking from a successful businessman like President Trump must not be taken for granted,” Patronis writes.

他进一步强调了特朗普在此事上的领导作用。特朗普表示，他将建立一个加密货币总统顾问委员会，并使用美国政府目前持有的加密货币创建国家比特币“库存”，这些加密货币大部分是在执法行动中查获的。我相信，像特朗普总统这样的成功商人的深谋远虑和创新思维绝不能被视为理所当然，”帕特罗尼斯写道。

Florida’s CFO emphasizes that Florida’s strong economic standing—boasting a Triple-A bond rating for the fifth consecutive year and record reserves—positions it well to pioneer innovative investment strategies. “If Florida were its own sovereign nation, it would be the 16th largest economy globally,” Patronis states.

佛罗里达州首席财务官强调，佛罗里达州强劲的经济地位——连续第五年获得 3A 债券评级和创纪录的储备——使其能够很好地开拓创新投资策略。帕特罗尼斯表示：“如果佛罗里达州是自己的主权国家，那么它将成为全球第 16 大经济体。”

Patronis also points to actions taken by other states as precedents. “Two other states, Wisconsin and Michigan, have seen it wise to invest a small portion of their pension funds into cryptocurrency,” he wrote. Additionally, he mentioned Arizona’s legislative efforts to include Bitcoin in state retirement funds and highlighted Wyoming and Nebraska as leaders in BTC mining and legislative frameworks designed to attract the industry, including provisions for chartering crypto banks.

帕特罗尼斯还指出其他州采取的行动是先例。他写道：“另外两个州，威斯康星州和密歇根州，认为将一小部分养老基金投资于加密货币是明智的。”此外，他还提到亚利桑那州将比特币纳入国家退休基金的立法努力，并强调怀俄明州和内布拉斯加州是比特币挖矿和旨在吸引该行业的立法框架的领导者，包括特许加密银行的条款。

Governor Ron DeSantis’s recent legislation to combat Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) is cited as a protective measure for Floridians’ personal finances against “government overreach and woke corporate monitoring.” Patronis aligns this stance with the decentralized nature of Bitcoin, stating that “on its face, [Bitcoin] is the antithesis of a central currency, providing decentralized digital currencies managed on blockchain technology, not issued or controlled by any government agency.”

州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯 (Ron DeSantis) 最近颁布的打击中央银行数字货币 (CBDC) 的立法被认为是佛罗里达州个人财务的一项保护措施，以防止“政府过度干预和唤醒企业监控”。 Patronis 将这一立场与比特币的去中心化性质保持一致，并表示“从表面上看，[比特币]是中央货币的对立面，它提供了由区块链技术管理的去中心化数字货币，而不是由任何政府机构发行或控制。”

The core of Patronis’s argument centers on the potential financial benefits for Florida’s public servants. “When managing state pensions for firefighters, teachers, and police officers, it’s also essential to prioritize the bottom line and ensure the best return on investment for Floridians,” he asserts.

帕特罗尼斯论点的核心集中在佛罗里达州公务员的潜在经济利益上。他断言：“在管理消防员、教师和警察的国家养老金时，优先考虑底线并确保佛罗里达人获得最佳投资回报也很重要。”

He proposes that Bitcoin, often referred to as “digital gold,” could “help diversify the state’s portfolio and provide a secure hedge against the volatility of other major asset classes.” He adds, “The State Board of Administration maintains a Florida Growth Fund that allows for more innovative and emerging investments, and a Digital Currency Investment Pilot Program could be a perfect fit, offering potential benefits we cannot afford to overlook.”

他提出，比特币（通常被称为“数字黄金”）可以“帮助国家投资组合多元化，并为其他主要资产类别的波动性提供安全对冲”。他补充道，“国家行政委员会维持着佛罗里达州增长基金，允许更多创新和新兴投资，而数字货币投资试点计划可能是一个完美的选择，它提供了我们不能忽视的潜在好处。”

In his letter, Patronis requests a comprehensive report from the SBA on the “feasibility, risk, and potential benefits of directing a portion of state retirement system monies into digital asset classes.” He emphasizes the importance of this analysis in informing lawmakers ahead of the next legislative session. “There’s no telling what the future of [Bitcoin] will be, but it’s important that the State of Florida stays ahead of the curve when considering new investments and providing the best returns for Floridians,” he concludes.

Patronis 在信中要求 SBA 提供一份关于“将部分国家退休系统资金投入数字资产类别的可行性、风险和潜在收益”的综合报告。他强调了这一分析对于在下一次立法会议之前向立法者提供信息的重要性。他总结道：“目前尚不清楚（比特币）的未来会怎样，但重要的是佛罗里达州在考虑新投资并为佛罗里达人提供最佳回报时保持领先地位。”
