俄亥俄州在加密世界中大胆的举动，新法案旨在创建一个州比特币储备

参议员桑德拉·奥布赖恩（Sandra O'Brien）提出了一项提案，该提案将使该州的财务主管投资比特币，使俄亥俄州成为越来越多的人之一

Ohio may soon be joining the ranks of U.S. states embracing digital assets, as a new bill aims to create a state Bitcoin reserve. The bill, introduced by Senator Sandra O’Brien, would allow the state’s treasurer to invest in Bitcoin.

俄亥俄州可能很快就会加入美国各州拥护数字资产，因为一项新法案旨在创建州比特币储备。参议员桑德拉·奥布莱恩（Sandra O'Brien）提出的该法案将允许该州的财务主管对比特币进行投资。

The bill, Senate Bill 57, was introduced on January 28 and referred to the Financial Institutions, Insurance, and Technology Committee a day later. If passed, the law would establish the “Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Fund.”

该法案是参议院第57号法案，于1月28日提出，并在一天后转介给金融机构，保险和技术委员会。如果通过，法律将建立“俄亥俄州比特币储备基金”。

The fund would allow the state to invest public funds solely in Bitcoin and stipulate that these holdings be securely stored for at least five years. The bill also proposes that Ohio state agencies and government entities accept Bitcoin for payments, including taxes, fees, and fines. Once received, the funds will be converted into Bitcoin and stored in the reserve.

该基金将允许该州仅用于比特币投资公共资金，并规定这些持股至少储存了五年。该法案还建议，俄亥俄州州机构和政府实体接受比特币进行付款，包括税收，费用和罚款。收到后，资金将转换为比特币并存储在储备金中。

Furthermore, Ohio residents, state agencies, and universities will have the option to donate Bitcoin to the fund. The bill even suggests creating a recognition program to honor major contributors, further encouraging Bitcoin adoption at the state level.

此外，俄亥俄州居民，州机构和大学将可以选择向该基金捐赠比特币。该法案甚至建议制定一个认可计划来尊重主要贡献者，进一步鼓励在州一级采用比特币。

This isn’t Ohio’s first attempt to embrace Bitcoin. In December, Ohio House Republican leader Derek Merrin introduced a similar bill, HB 703, which would give the state treasurer the option to allocate Bitcoin to a reserve fund, Merrin argued that the devaluation of the U.S. dollar makes it essential for states to explore alternative assets like Bitcoin.

这不是俄亥俄州接受比特币的第一次尝试。去年12月，俄亥俄州众议院共和党领导人德里克·梅林（Derek Merrin）提出了类似的法案，即HB 703，该法案将使州财务主管可以选择将比特币分配给储备金，梅林认为美元贬值使各州探索替代方案至关重要像比特币这样的资产。

Ohio isn’t the only state pushing for crypto adoption. Across the U.S., other states like Utah and Arizona are also advancing bills to allow public funds to be invested in cryptocurrencies. In total, more than twelve U.S. states are considering legislation to allow Bitcoin reserves.

俄亥俄州并不是唯一推动采用加密货币的国家。在整个美国，犹他州和亚利桑那州等其他州也正在促进法案，以允许公共资金投资于加密货币。总的来说，美国十二个州正在考虑立法以允许比特币储备。
