共和党参议员辛西娅·卢米斯表示，将黄金储备转换为比特币可以增强美国政府的财政状况

卢米斯以看涨加密货币而闻名，她认为建立比特币战略储备可以加强美元作为世界储备货币的地位，并减轻该国的债务负担。

Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis has proposed converting a portion of the U.S. gold reserves into Bitcoin to strengthen the country's financial stability and reduce its debt burden.

共和党参议员辛西娅·鲁米斯 (Cynthia Lummis) 提议将部分美国黄金储备转换为比特币，以加强该国的金融稳定并减轻债务负担。

In an interview with CNBC, Lummis suggested that the Federal Reserve could sell some of its gold holdings, which are currently valued at 1970s prices, and use the proceeds to purchase Bitcoin (BTC). This move would help create a "strategic Bitcoin reserve," which Lummis believes could enhance the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency.

Lummis 在接受 CNBC 采访时表示，美联储可以出售其持有的部分黄金（目前这些黄金的估值为 1970 年代的价格），并用所得收益购买比特币 (BTC)。此举将有助于创建“比特币战略储备”，鲁米斯认为这可以增强美元作为世界储备货币的地位。

Highlighting Bitcoin's potential for high returns, especially as it approaches $100,000, the senator likened it to a "gold standard digital asset." She also emphasized the importance of creating a strategic reserve in implementing Bitcoin as a monetary standard.

这位参议员强调了比特币的高回报潜力，尤其是当它接近 10 万美元时，他将其比作“黄金标准数字资产”。她还强调了建立战略储备以实施比特币作为货币标准的重要性。

“We have reserves at our 12 Federal Reserve banks, including gold certificates that could be converted to current fair market value. They’re held at their 1970s value on the books. And then sell them into bitcoin, that way we wouldn’t have to use any new dollars in order to establish this reserve.”

“我们在 12 家联邦储备银行拥有储备，包括可以转换为当前公平市场价值的金券。它们的账面价值为 1970 年代的价格。然后将它们卖成比特币，这样我们就不必使用任何新的美元来建立这个储备。”

Lummis further noted the Trump administration's interest in cryptocurrencies, which she believes could lead to the development of digital asset legislation in the coming years.

Lummis 进一步指出了特朗普政府对加密货币的兴趣，她认为这可能会导致未来几年数字资产立法的发展。

The Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Fund is a comprehensive initiative aimed at strengthening financial stability and protecting the nation's assets. It involves the creation of a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, which will serve as a secure financial mechanism for the government and other agencies to use Bitcoin as a long-term asset.

比特币战略储备基金是一项旨在加强金融稳定和保护国家资产的综合举措。它涉及创建比特币战略储备，该储备将作为政府和其他机构使用比特币作为长期资产的安全金融机制。

The reserve will feature a decentralized storage network, where the U.S. will create a distributed network of secure Bitcoin storage facilities to protect assets from centralized risks and vulnerabilities. These storage facilities will be located in different regions, reducing dependence on a single point of failure.

该储备将采用去中心化存储网络，美国将在其中创建安全比特币存储设施的分布式网络，以保护资产免受集中风险和漏洞的影响。这些存储设施将位于不同区域，减少对单点故障的依赖。

The government will also implement a Bitcoin purchase program, aiming to purchase 200,000 BTC per year for five years to increase the strategic reserve to 1 million BTC. These purchases will be made regularly to avoid sharp price fluctuations and ensure consistency.

政府还将实施比特币购买计划，目标是五年内每年购买20万个比特币，将战略储备增加到100万个比特币。这些采购将定期进行，以避免价格大幅波动并确保一致性。

All purchased Bitcoin will be held in the reserve for at least 20 years. Additionally, all Bitcoins currently stored in other government agencies will be transferred to the strategic reserve, allowing for centralization and efficient asset management.

所有购买的比特币将作为储备持有至少 20 年。此外，目前存储在其他政府机构的所有比特币都将转移到战略储备中，从而实现集中化和高效的资产管理。

States can voluntarily participate in this reserve by opening segregated accounts to deposit or withdraw their Bitcoin assets as needed. This initiative will be supported because government agencies cannot confiscate or seize the rights to legally owned Bitcoin assets. This will provide confidence and incentives for Americans to store their Bitcoins independently.

各国可以通过开设独立账户来根据需要存入或提取其比特币资产来自愿参与该储备。这一举措将得到支持，因为政府机构无法没收或扣押合法拥有的比特币资产的权利。这将为美国人独立存储比特币提供信心和动力。

However, Avik Roy, president of the non-profit think tank Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity (FREOPP), expressed doubts that creating a strategic reserve in Bitcoin will help the U.S. overcome the debt crisis.

然而，非营利智库平等机会研究基金会（FREOPP）主席阿维克·罗伊（Avik Roy）对建立比特币战略储备能否帮助美国克服债务危机表示怀疑。

Speaking at the North American Blockchain Summit 2024 in Dallas, Avik Roy said that Lummis’s plan will not help cover the national debt, which has already grown to $35 trillion.

Avik Roy 在达拉斯举行的 2024 年北美区块链峰会上发表讲话时表示，Lummis 的计划无助于偿还已增长至 35 万亿美元的国家债务。

“The Bitcoin reserve is good but does not solve the problem. You still have to actually do the budgetary reforms to get us out of this $2 trillion a year of federal deficits.”

“比特币储备很好，但并不能解决问题。你仍然需要实际进行预算改革，让我们摆脱每年 2 万亿美元的联邦赤字。”

According to Roy, even with a Bitcoin reserve, the U.S. would still have to implement budgetary reforms to get the country out of its $2 trillion federal deficit annually.

Roy 表示，即使拥有比特币储备，美国仍然必须实施预算改革，以摆脱每年 2 万亿美元的联邦赤字。

The political scientist noted that the BTC reserve could ease tensions in the bond market by making it feel like the U.S. is not going broke. Roy is also concerned that the U.S. could abandon its BTC reserves in the future, similar to what happened with gold in the 1970s.

这位政治学家指出，比特币储备可以让人们感觉美国不会破产，从而缓解债券市场的紧张局势。 Roy 还担心美国未来可能会放弃其 BTC 储备，类似于 20 世纪 70 年代黄金的情况。

Bitcoin as a reserve asset also presents several challenges, with the biggest being volatility. Bitcoin's price fluctuations make it a risky reserve asset compared to more stable options like gold.

比特币作为储备资产也面临着一些挑战，其中最大的挑战是波动性。与黄金等更稳定的选择相比，比特币的价格波动使其成为一种有风险的储备资产。

After all, Bitcoin has experienced several notable crashes throughout its history.

毕竟，比特币在其历史上经历了几次明显的崩溃。

Bitcoin is also typically associated with illicit activities and discreet purchases, which raises concerns about integrating it into national financial systems. Critics say it could also enable countries like Russia to bypass international sanctions, undermining global financial stability and creating geopolitical tensions.

比特币通常还与非法活动和谨慎购买有关，这引发了人们对将其纳入国家金融体系的担忧。批评人士表示，这还可能使俄罗斯等国家绕过国际制裁，破坏全球金融稳定并造成地缘政治紧张局势。

Several cryptocurrency companies, including Ripple, Kraken, and Circle, are vying for a seat on President Donald Trump's promised crypto advisory board, according to Reuters. They aim to participate in his plans to overhaul U.S. cryptocurrency policy.

据路透社报道，包括 Ripple、Kraken 和 Circle 在内的几家加密货币公司正在争夺唐纳德·特朗普总统承诺的加密货币顾问委员会的席位。他们的目标是参与他改革美国加密货币政策的计划。

During his campaign at a Bitcoin conference in Nashville in July, Trump promised to create a new council as part of a pro-crypto administration. Trump’s team is discussing how to organize and staff the council and which companies should be included.

7 月份在纳什维尔举行的比特币会议上竞选期间，特朗普承诺将成立一个新的委员会，作为支持加密货币政府的一部分。特朗普的团队正在讨论如何组织该委员会并配备人员，以及哪些公司应该被纳入其中。

Potential members include venture capital firm Paradigm and the crypto arm of venture giant Andreessen Horowitz, known as a16z.

潜在成员包括风险投资公司 Paradigm 和风险投资巨头 Andreessen Horowitz 的加密部门（称为 a16z）。

“It’s being fleshed out, but I anticipate the leading executives from America’s bitcoin and crypto firms to be represented.”

“它正在充实，但我预计来自美国比特币和加密货币公司的领先高管将出席。”
