MARA 敦促美国确保在比特币和比特币挖矿领域的主导地位，声称这是国家安全问题

加密货币矿商 MARA Holdings 敦促美国采取更积极的行动，以“确保比特币和比特币挖矿的主导地位”，声称这是国家安全问题。

United States government should act more aggressively to “secure dominant positions in Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining,” the crypto miner MARA has urged, claiming it’s a matter of national security.

加密货币矿商 MARA 敦促美国政府采取更积极的行动，以“确保在比特币和比特币挖矿领域的主导地位”，并声称这是国家安全问题。

“The United States faces an urgent need to secure its economic and national security interests,” wrote MARA in a Nov. 26 X post.

“美国迫切需要确保其经济和国家安全利益，”MARA 在 11 月 26 日的帖子中写道。

The miner added that the US needs to take the lead in holding Bitcoin ( BTC ) just like it has with gold, especially with the rising trend of de-dollarization — countries shedding reliance on the US dollar.

这位矿工补充说，美国需要带头持有比特币（BTC），就像持有黄金一样，尤其是在去美元化趋势不断上升的情况下——各国正在摆脱对美元的依赖。

“The dollar is no longer directly backed by gold, yet holding substantial gold reserves remains a matter of national security,” claimed MARA. “These reserves provide the US with the ability to transact should foreign nations lose confidence in the dollar.”

马拉表示：“美元不再直接由黄金支持，但持有大量黄金储备仍然是国家安全问题。” “如果外国对美元失去信心，这些储备为美国提供了进行交易的能力。”

MARA Holdings, formerly known as Marathon Digital, noted that the US holds a little over 200,000 Bitcoin, while China is close behind at around 190,000 BTC.

MARA Holdings（原名 Marathon Digital）指出，美国持有略多于 20 万枚的比特币，而中国紧随其后，持有约 19 万枚比特币。

Meanwhile, World Gold Council data shows the US holds 8,133 metric tonnes of gold as of Q2 2024, compared to China's 2,264 tonnes.

与此同时，世界黄金协会的数据显示，截至 2024 年第二季度，美国持有黄金 8,133 吨，而中国持有 2,264 吨。

“As speculation grows about countries preemptively building Bitcoin reserves ahead of the forthcoming Trump Administration, the US must move swiftly to secure dominant positions in Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining,” it said.

报告称：“随着有关国家在即将上任的特朗普政府之前先发制人建立比特币储备的猜测越来越多，美国必须迅速采取行动，以确保在比特币和比特币挖矿领域的主导地位。”

MARA said much of this will come down to ensuring the US controls a significant portion of the global hashrate, preventing “adversarial nations” from censoring or manipulating its Bitcoin transactions.

MARA 表示，这在很大程度上将归结为确保美国控制全球算力的很大一部分，防止“敌对国家”审查或操纵其比特币交易。

“Failing to secure a sufficient share of blockspace and hashrate leaves the US vulnerable to external pressures in a world where Bitcoin’s importance as a financial and geopolitical tool is rapidly growing,” it added.

它补充说：“在比特币作为金融和地缘政治工具的重要性迅速增长的世界中，未能获得足够的区块空间和算力份额使美国容易受到外部压力的影响。”

MARA has recommended a six-prong plan to tackle the threat, one of which includes encouraging the domestic production of mining hardware (ASIC chips) to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers.

MARA 建议采取六管齐下的计划来应对这一威胁，其中之一包括鼓励国内生产采矿硬件（ASIC 芯片），以减少对外国供应商的依赖。

At the present time, the China-based Bitmain is the world’s leading manufacturer of crypto mining hardware, with a market share of around 75% (though some have estimated it to be as much as 90%), followed by MicroBT — also based in China.

目前，总部位于中国的比特大陆是全球领先的加密挖矿硬件制造商，市场份额约为 75%（尽管有些人估计高达 90%），其次是同样总部位于中国的比特微 (MicroBT)。中国。

The crypto miner has also called for more investment into US Bitcoin mining, the set up of a Bitcoin strategic reserve and more legal clarity and incentives for Bitcoin miners and investors and for the US to set global standards for decentralized networks.

该加密货币矿工还呼吁对美国比特币挖矿进行更多投资，建立比特币战略储备，并为比特币矿工和投资者提供更多的法律清晰度和激励措施，并呼吁美国为去中心化网络制定全球标准。
