温哥华市长 Ken Sim 提议将比特币 (BTC) 添加到该市的资产负债表中

在最近的比特币相关新闻中，温哥华市长 Ken Sim 提议将 BTC 添加到该市的资产负债表中，以实现投资多元化。

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim is proposing that the city add Bitcoin to its balance sheet, making it the latest government to consider the cryptocurrency as a reserve asset.

温哥华市长 Ken Sim 提议该市将比特币添加到其资产负债表中，使其成为最新一个将加密货币视为储备资产的政府。

The proposal, which will be formally presented on December 11, is part of an effort to diversify the city’s investments and preserve its purchasing power.

该提案将于 12 月 11 日正式提出，是该市投资多元化和保持购买力努力的一部分。

“We need to be thinking about the future and how we can best protect our city's finances,” Sim said in a statement. “Adding Bitcoin to our balance sheet is a strategic move that will help us to do just that.”

“我们需要考虑未来以及如何最好地保护我们城市的财政，”西姆在一份声明中说。 “将比特币添加到我们的资产负债表中是一项战略举措，将帮助我们做到这一点。”

The city’s move comes as corporations and governments begin to embrace Bitcoin as a hedge of sorts against inflation and geopolitical risk.

这座城市采取这一举措之际，企业和政府开始接受比特币作为对冲通胀和地缘政治风险的手段。

MicroStrategy and Brazil are among the global entities that are already looking at Bitcoin as a reserve asset — and if Vancouver passes this proposal, it could open the door for other cities and countries to follow suit.

MicroStrategy 和巴西等全球实体已经将比特币视为储备资产——如果温哥华通过这一提案，可能会为其他城市和国家效仿打开大门。

The proposal, titled “Preserving the City’s Purchasing Power Through Diversification of Financial Resources: Becoming a Bitcoin-Friendly City,” will be presented to council for a vote on December 11. If passed, it would direct city staff to develop a framework for the integration of Bitcoin into the city’s financial strategy.

该提案题为“通过金融资源多元化保护城市的购买力：成为比特币友好城市”，将于 12 月 11 日提交议会投票。如果获得通过，它将指导城市工作人员制定一个框架，以支持比特币的发展。将比特币纳入该市的金融战略。

The framework would include recommendations on the amount of Bitcoin to be acquired, the method of acquisition, the custodian to be used, and the legal, regulatory, and accounting considerations involved in holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

该框架将包括关于要收购的比特币数量、收购方法、要使用的托管人以及持有比特币作为储备资产所涉及的法律、监管和会计考虑的建议。

The proposal also includes a provision that would require the city to hold Bitcoin for a minimum of five years, and it would prohibit the city from selling or disposing of Bitcoin without the approval of council.

该提案还包括一项条款，要求该市持有比特币至少五年，并将禁止该市未经市议会批准出售或处置比特币。

The move by Vancouver would be significant, as it would mark the first time that a major city has adopted Bitcoin as a reserve asset. However, the proposal is also likely to face some opposition, given the volatility of cryptocurrency prices and the regulatory uncertainty surrounding cryptocurrencies.

温哥华的此举意义重大，因为这将标志着一个大城市首次采用比特币作为储备资产。然而，考虑到加密货币价格的波动性以及围绕加密货币的监管不确定性，该提议也可能面临一些反对。

If Vancouver does ultimately decide to add Bitcoin to its balance sheet, it would join a growing list of institutions that are using cryptocurrency as a reserve asset.

如果温哥华最终决定将比特币添加到其资产负债表中，它将加入越来越多使用加密货币作为储备资产的机构行列。

Institutions such as MicroStrategy and the Baltimore Ravens are among those that have already taken this step, and their experiences could provide valuable lessons for Vancouver as it considers its own options.

MicroStrategy 和巴尔的摩乌鸦队等机构已经采取了这一步骤，他们的经验可以为温哥华考虑自己的选择提供宝贵的经验教训。
