Ohio Considers Adding Bitcoin to State Reserves Ohio legislators have been actively advancing crypto-friendly bills in the past year. In September, Senator Niraj Antani introduced legislation that would require the state to accept cryptocurrency payments for taxes and fees. The bill also aimed to permit state institutions and pension funds to invest in digital assets.

俄亥俄州认为，在过去一年中，俄亥俄州立法者在俄亥俄州立法者中增加了比特币。 9月，参议员Niraj Antani提出了立法，要求该州接受加密货币支付的税款和费用。该法案还旨在允许国家机构和养老基金投资数字资产。

In December, Ohio House Republican Leader Derek Merrin took things a step further with HB 703, dubbed the Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Act. The proposal would grant the state treasurer the ability to purchase Bitcoin as part of Ohio’s financial strategy, although it does not mandate such investments.

去年12月，俄亥俄州众议院共和党领导人德里克·梅林（Derek Merrin）以HB 703迈出了一步，被称为《俄亥俄州比特币储备法》。该提案将授予州财务主管购买比特币作为俄亥俄州财务战略的一部分的能力，尽管它没有授权此类投资。

Merrin supported the bill by highlighting the diminishing value of the U.S. dollar, underscoring its rapid devaluation and emphasizing the need for the Treasurer to have greater authority to manage assets effectively. Bitcoin, he asserted, serves as a hedge against financial decline. Ohio, he stated, must embrace technological advancements to safeguard public funds better.

Merrin通过强调美元的价值降低，强调其快速贬值，并强调财务主管有效管理资产有效管理资产的权力，从而支持该法案。他断言，比特币是抵制财务下降的对冲。他说，俄亥俄州必须采取技术进步，以更好地保护公共资金。

Continuing this momentum, another bill was put forward in February by Ohio Senator Sandra O’Brien to establish an Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Fund. The legislation mandates that Bitcoin investments be held for a minimum of five years and outlines secure custody measures for the state's BTC holdings.

继续这一势头，俄亥俄州参议员桑德拉·奥布赖恩（Sandra O'Brien）于2月提出了另一项法案，以建立俄亥俄州比特币储备基金。该立法要求将比特币投资至少持续五年，并概述了该州BTC持有的安全监护措施。
