Texas Senator Ted Cruz has proposed a bill that would incentivize crypto miners to use flared gas for energy generation in the state.

德克萨斯州参议员泰德·克鲁兹（Ted Cruz）提出了一项法案，该法案将激励加密货币矿工在该州使用喇叭形天然气进行能源发电。

In an April 1 notice, Cruz said he had introduced the Facilitate Lower Atmospheric Released Emissions, or FLARE, Act in the U.S. Senate, aiming to make Texas "the number one place for Bitcoin mining." Bitcoin miner MARA Holdings endorsed the proposed legislation on X, claiming it would reduce emissions and "unlock stranded energy."

克鲁兹在4月1日的通知中说，他介绍了在美国参议院采取的便利大气释放的排放或爆发，旨在使得克萨斯州“比特币开采的第一名”。比特币矿工玛拉·控股（Mara Holdings）认可了X关于X的拟议立法，声称它将减少排放和“解锁滞留能量”。

According to the text of the bill, the FLARE Act proposed amending the U.S. Internal Revenue Code to incentivize market participants — including digital asset miners — that could "capture gas that would otherwise be flared or vented and to use such gas in value-added products." If signed into law, the legislation would take effect on properties put into service starting in 2026.

根据该法案的案文，《耀斑法》提议修改《美国国税法》，以激励市场参与者（包括数字资产矿工），这些参与者可以“捕获否则会爆发或发泄的天然气，并在增值产品中使用此类天然气”。如果签署为法律，该立法将从2026年开始为投入使用的财产生效。

A U.S. Senator since 2013, Cruz, a Republican, has sometimes proposed legislation that aligns with mainstream figures in his party, including U.S. President Donald Trump. He introduced a bill in March to prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) and disclosed personally holding up to $100,000 in Bitcoin as of August 2024.

自2013年以来，一名美国参议员克鲁兹（Cruz）有时提出了与包括美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在内的政党中的主流人物保持一致的立法。他于3月提出了一项法案，以禁止美联储发行中央银行数字货币（CBDC），并截至2024年8月，个人披露了最高可超过100,000美元的比特币。

In addition to the energy incentives proposed in the bill, Cruz said the language "prohibits entities owned by China, Iran, North Korea, or Russia" that may be operating in Texas from recovering their costs in the same manner. Many U.S. miners, including MARA, Riot Platforms and CleanSpark, operate in the state.

克鲁兹说，除了该法案中提出的能源激励措施外，该语言“禁止中国，伊朗，朝鲜或俄罗斯拥有的实体”，这可能是在德克萨斯州在得克萨斯州运作的，无法以相同的方式收回其成本。许多美国矿工，包括Mara，Riot Platforms和CleanSpark，在该州运营。

It's unclear whether Cruz's bill will be a legislative priority in the Senate as Congress considers bills to regulate stablecoins and establish a market structure for digital assets in the U.S. Some lawmakers have also proposed legislation potentially banning a U.S. CBDC and removing regulatory obstacles to allow Americans to invest in crypto for their retirement plans.

目前尚不清楚克鲁兹的法案是否将是参议院的立法优先事项，因为国会考虑了规范稳定的法案，并在美国建立了数字资产的市场结构，一些立法者还提出了可能禁止美国CBDC的立法，并驱逐了监管障碍，以允许美国人投资于加密货币计划。
