蒙大拿州拒绝比特币储备法案，犹他州晋升提案，得克萨斯州举行公开听证会

蒙大拿州的众议院已投票反对将比特币指定为州储备资产的提案。这一决定与犹他州为建立比特币储备的努力形成鲜明对比，而得克萨斯州首次公开听证会。

Montana’s House of Representatives has voted against a proposal to designate Bitcoin as a state reserve asset, contrasting with Utah’s efforts to establish a Bitcoin reserve and Texas’ first public hearing on the matter.

蒙大拿州的众议院已投票反对将比特币指定为州储备资产的提案，与犹他州建立比特币储备金和德克萨斯州关于此事的首次公开听证会形成鲜明对比。

The bill aimed to create a special revenue account for investments in precious metals, stablecoins, and digital assets, with a focus on Bitcoin due to its market capitalization exceeding $750 billion on average in the past year. However, concerns arose regarding the speculative nature and volatility of digital assets, leading to opposition among lawmakers.

该法案旨在为贵金属，稳定资产的投资创建一个特殊的收入帐户，由于其市值平均超过了过去一年的市值超过7500亿美元，因此重点关注比特币。但是，人们对数字资产的投机性质和波动性引起了人们的关注，这导致立法者之间的反对。

They prioritized safeguarding public money, arguing that digital assets were too risky an investment and that traditional bonds, while safer, offered lower yields, potentially eroding the value of public funds over time.

他们优先考虑保障公共资金，认为数字资产过于冒险投资，而传统债券虽然更安全，但提供了较低的收益率，可能会随着时间的推移侵蚀公共资金的价值。

Despite proponents highlighting the possibility of generating higher returns and enhancing purchasing power by diversifying state investments, the bill was ultimately defeated by a 41-59 vote, reflecting the majority’s preference for caution.

尽管支持者强调了通过多元化国家投资产生更高回报并增强购买力的可能性，但该法案最终以41-59的投票击败，这反映了多数人对谨慎的偏爱。

Meanwhile, Utah is advancing its Bitcoin reserve initiative. The Blockchain and Digital Innovation Amendments bill (H.B. 230) is now in the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee after being introduced on January 21, 2025.

同时，犹他州正在推进其比特币储备计划。区块链和数字创新修正案法案（HB 230）在2025年1月21日提出后，现在在参议院收入和税收委员会中。

The bill, which aims to incorporate Bitcoin into the state’s financial reserves, has gained momentum and bipartisan support, with an 8-1 vote in the House of Representatives.

该法案旨在将比特币纳入该州的金融储备中，并在众议院以8-1的投票获得了势头和两党的支持。

If approved, Utah will be among the first states to integrate Bitcoin officially into its financial reserves, potentially setting a trend for other states to follow.

如果获得批准，犹他州将是最早将比特币正式整合到其财务储备中的州之一，有可能为其他州遵循的趋势树立趋势。

Moreover, Texas is also exploring the creation of a state-backed Bitcoin reserve. The state held its first public hearing on February 18 to discuss the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR).

此外，德克萨斯州还正在探索建立国家支持的比特币储备。该州于2月18日举行了首次公开听证会，讨论建立战略比特币储备（SBR）。

The hearing was intended to provide a platform for policymakers to examine the potential benefits and risks of including digital assets in the state’s financial strategy.

听证会旨在为决策者提供一个平台，以研究将数字资产纳入该州财务战略的潜在收益和风险。

If the proposal advances, Texas will join the group of states that are actively integrating Bitcoin into their investment portfolios.

如果提案提出进展，德克萨斯州将加入积极将比特币集成到其投资组合中的国家。
