俄克拉荷马州推出比特币自由法案，允许员工以比特币支付工资

俄克拉荷马州参议员达斯蒂·迪弗斯 (Dusty Deevers) 提出立法，允许员工以比特币支付工资，企业也可以接受这种数字资产

Oklahoma state senator Dusty Deevers has proposed legislation that would permit employees to receive their salaries in Bitcoin and allow businesses to accept the digital asset as a form of payment.

俄克拉荷马州参议员达斯蒂·迪弗斯 (Dusty Deevers) 提议立法，允许员工以比特币支付工资，并允许企业接受数字资产作为支付方式。

The Bitcoin Freedom Act, also known as SB325, aims to establish a framework for the use of Bitcoin in Oklahoma, authorizing its use in transactions, salaries, and investments while ensuring compliance with legal requirements.

比特币自由法案，也称为 SB325，旨在建立一个在俄克拉荷马州使用比特币的框架，授权其在交易、工资和投资中使用，同时确保遵守法律要求。

The bill’s text states, “Any employee of this state, business, corporation, other entity, and resident of this state may negotiate and receive payment and compensation, including salaries, wages, and other forms of compensation, in Bitcoin.”

该法案的文本指出，“本州、企业、公司、其他实体和本州居民的任何雇员都可以通过比特币协商并获得付款和补偿，包括薪水、工资和其他形式的补偿。”

For state employees choosing to receive their payments in Bitcoin, the legislation mandates an agreement with the state to determine whether the value of Bitcoin will be set at the beginning of the pay period or at the time of payment. Employees will have the option to choose to receive their compensation in Bitcoin, U.S. dollars, or both, and they can modify their choice at the beginning of each pay period.

对于选择以比特币接收付款的国家雇员，立法要求与国家达成协议，以确定比特币的价值是在工资期开始时还是在付款时设定。员工可以选择以比特币、美元或两者的形式接收薪酬，并且可以在每个工资期开始时修改他们的选择。

Deevers highlighted the legislation as a crucial measure to protect Oklahomans from the effects of inflation.

迪弗斯强调，该立法是保护俄克拉荷马人免受通货膨胀影响的关键措施。

“In a time when inflation is eroding the purchasing power of hard-working Oklahomans, Bitcoin provides a unique opportunity to protect earnings and investments,” he said.

他说：“在通货膨胀正在侵蚀辛勤工作的俄克拉荷马人的购买力的时代，比特币提供了保护收入和投资的独特机会。”

Deevers also contrasted Bitcoin’s fixed supply with the U.S. dollar, which he claimed is being “printed away in Washington D.C.”

迪弗斯还将比特币的固定供应量与美元进行了对比，他声称美元正在“在华盛顿特区印制”

“There is a reason President Trump campaigned heavily as a pro-Bitcoin candidate and spoke at prominent Bitcoin events,” Deevers added. “Bitcoin has arrived into the mainstream of our economy and is unquestionably a significant part of the financial future.”

“特朗普总统作为支持比特币的候选人大力宣传，并在重要的比特币活动中发表讲话，这是有原因的，”迪弗斯补充道。 “比特币已经成为我们经济的主流，毫无疑问是金融未来的重要组成部分。”

The bill will be up for consideration during the upcoming legislative session, which begins on Feb. 3. If enacted, it would mark Oklahoma’s second major law centered on Bitcoin and digital assets, following a landmark bill that protected individuals’ rights to self-custody and mining, which was passed in May 2024.

该法案将在即将于 2 月 3 日开始的立法会议期间接受审议。如果获得通过，这将标志着俄克拉荷马州继一项保护个人自我保管权的具有里程碑意义的法案之后，第二部以比特币和数字资产为中心的主要法律和采矿，该法案于 2024 年 5 月获得通过。
