在联邦层面，梅林预计即将上任的特朗普政府将推动建立国家比特币储备。此举旨在通过使用比特币作为抵御通货膨胀和经济不稳定的保障措施来加强该国的财务状况。

Similar discussions are already taking place in states like Texas and Pennsylvania, which have introduced their own Bitcoin reserve proposals.

类似的讨论已经在德克萨斯州和宾夕法尼亚州等州进行，这些州已经推出了自己的比特币储备提案。

其他几个政府正在探索将比特币作为储备资产，以实现金融资产多元化并减少对传统货币（尤其是美元）的依赖。这些努力反映了在不确定的经济时期使用比特币作为战略对冲手段的日益增长的趋势。

就在最近，一位法国欧盟议会成员呼吁建立比特币储备，以对冲不利的经济形势。尽管美国智库联合创始人认为比特币储备并不能解决美国债务问题。

Merrin called Bitcoin “digital property rights for everyone who owns it” and described it as a revolutionary financial tool that will reshape global economies. He explained that this legislation creates a strong framework for Ohio to leverage Bitcoin to strengthen its financial stability.

梅林称比特币为“每个拥有它的人的数字财产权”，并将其描述为一种革命性的金融工具，将重塑全球经济。他解释说，这项立法为俄亥俄州利用比特币加强其金融稳定性创造了一个强大的框架。

Burchwell stressed that Ohio must act now to secure its leadership position in innovation and technology.

With the current legislative session nearing its end, Merrin hopes the Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Act will serve as a foundation for lawmakers to revisit and pass in 2025. He believes this bill will enable Ohio to take advantage of Bitcoin’s opportunities and ensure the state remains competitive on both a national and global scale.
