蒙大拿州建立比特币储备的竞标命中了死胡同

第429号众议院法案提议在比特币，稳定金属和贵金属中投资国家资金，未能通过该州众议院的二读。

Lawmakers in Montana have rejected a bill that would have authorized the state to invest a portion of its funds in Bitcoin, dealing a blow to efforts to include the cryptocurrency in U.S. state reserves.

蒙大拿州的立法者拒绝了一项法案，该法案将授权该州投资其一部分资金，以对将加密货币纳入美国州储备的努力造成打击。

House Bill No. 429, which proposed allocating state money in precious metals, Bitcoin, and stablecoins, failed to pass a second reading in the state's House of Representatives on Thursday. The bill was voted down by a margin of 41-59.

第429号众议院法案提议用贵金属，比特币和稳定币分配国家资金，未能在周四在该州的众议院进行第二读。该法案以41-59的利润率投票。

The bill would have established a special revenue account for investing in assets like Bitcoin, precious metals, and stablecoins. It proposed a strategic allocation of $50 million by mid-2025.

该法案将建立一个特殊的收入帐户，用于投资比特币，贵金属和Stablecoins等资产。它提议在2025年中期进行5000万美元的战略分配。

If passed, the legislation would have made Montana one of the few U.S. states to formally hold Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Several states, including Utah, Arizona, and Oklahoma, have expressed interest in the move.

如果通过了，该立法将使蒙大拿州成为美国少数持有比特币作为储备资产的州之一。包括犹他州，亚利桑那州和俄克拉荷马州在内的几个州对此举表示了兴趣。

However, the bill faced opposition within the House, particularly from Republican lawmakers, many of whom expressed skepticism about investing taxpayer money in Bitcoin.

但是，该法案面临众议院内部的反对，特别是来自共和党议员，其中许多人对将纳税人的资金投资于比特币表示怀疑。

Representative Jane Gillette voiced concerns about the bill’s lack of clarity, stating, “I am not comfortable with this bill and I am definitely not voting for it as a fiscal conservative. I don’t think the bill clearly articulates enough what that money is going to be spent on.”

代表简·吉列（Jane Gillette）对该法案缺乏明确性表示担忧，他说：“我对这项法案不满意，而且我绝对不作为财政保守派投票。我认为该法案清楚地表达了这笔钱的花费。”

Representative Steven Kelly had similar concerns, calling Bitcoin “way too risky” as an investment for public funds. He stated that the House's responsibility is to protect taxpayer money, not speculate on volatile assets.

代表史蒂文·凯利（Steven Kelly）也有类似的担忧，将比特币称为公共资金的投资。他说，众议院的责任是保护纳税人的钱，而不是推测波动资产。

Another Republican lawmaker, Bill Mercer, was also against the proposal. “Taking the hard-earned money from workers across the state and speculating on it is not the right way to go. So, I am gonna be a ‘no’ on this,” he said.

另一位共和党议员比尔·默瑟（Bill Mercer）也反对该提议。 “从全州的工人那里拿走来之不易的钱并推测这不是正确的方法。因此，我将成为“不”，”他说。

The bill initially had the backing of Montana's House Business and Labor Committee, but this support wasn't enough to carry it through the full House vote.

该法案最初得到了蒙大拿州的众议院业务和劳工委员会的支持，但是这一支持还不足以通过全众议院投票。

Despite efforts from Bitcoin-friendly lawmakers, the concerns over risk and accountability ultimately led to its rejection.

尽管对比特币友好的立法者做出了努力，但对风险和问责制的担忧最终导致了其拒绝。

While this legislative effort failed, it's unlikely that Montana's exploration of Bitcoin as a reserve asset will end here. Other states are actively considering similar initiatives, and the conversation around digital assets as a strategic financial tool continues to gain traction.

尽管这项立法努力失败了，但蒙大拿州对比特币作为储备资产的探索不太可能在这里结束。其他州正在积极考虑类似的举措，围绕数字资产作为战略财务工具的对话继续吸引。

Dennis Porter, CEO of the Satoshi Action Fund, remained optimistic about the growing interest in Bitcoin reserves across the U.S. He noted on X (formerly Twitter) that his team had been working closely with lawmakers to push forward a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” policy.

Satoshi行动基金首席执行官丹尼斯·波特（Dennis Porter）对整个美国的比特币储备的兴趣日益兴趣保持乐观，他在X（以前是Twitter）上指出，他的团队一直与立法者紧密合作，以推动“战略性比特币储备”政策。

Even though this particular bill was struck down, Montana's involvement in the broader Bitcoin conversation signals a shift in how states are approaching digital assets. If market conditions stabilize and Bitcoin gains further institutional acceptance, the state could revisit the idea in the future.

即使这项特殊的法案被击倒了，蒙大拿州参与更广泛的比特币对话表明，各州如何接近数字资产。如果市场状况稳定并获得比特币获得进一步的机构认可，则该州将来可以重新审视该想法。

For now, however, the message from Montana's lawmakers is clear: they’re not ready to bet taxpayer money on Bitcoin just yet.

然而，目前，蒙大拿州议员的信息很明显：他们还没有准备好将纳税人的钱押在比特币上。
