Cynthia Lummis 在 Bitcoin 2024 上公佈「戰略比特幣儲備」法案

該計劃建議美國政府應購買全球 5% 的比特幣供應量並保留至少二十年。

U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis has introduced a bill that would require the government to purchase 5% of the world’s Bitcoin supply and retain it for a minimum of twenty years. The strategic reserve is designed with a singular purpose: to mitigate the nation’s burgeoning debt.

美國參議員辛西婭·魯米斯 (Cynthia Lummis) 提出一項法案，要求政府購買全球 5% 的比特幣供應量，並保留至少二十年。戰略儲備的設計目的只有一個：減輕國家不斷成長的債務。

During her keynote speech at the Bitcoin 2024 conference on July 27, Lummis explained that the implementation of this plan, if passed, would span five years, with the government aiming to acquire one million Bitcoin. Given the current Bitcoin price of $68,105, this acquisition would approximate a staggering investment of $68.1 billion.

Lummis 在 7 月 27 日的比特幣 2024 大會上發表主題演講時解釋說，該計劃如果獲得通過，實施將跨越五年，政府的目標是收購 100 萬比特幣。鑑於目前比特幣價格為 68,105 美元，此次收購的投資額約為 681 億美元。

The initiative would commence with the inclusion of 210,000 Bitcoin previously referenced by former President Donald Trump, to be securely stored in geographically diverse vaults.

該計劃將從前總統唐納德·川普之前提到的 210,000 個比特幣開始，這些比特幣將被安全地存儲在不同地理位置的金庫中。

Lummis’s proposal is intended to “supercharge the U.S. dollar” by solidifying its stance against inflation and ensuring the U.S.’s supremacy in the rapidly shifting global financial landscape. “Establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve would firmly secure the dollar’s position as the world’s reserve currency into the 21st century and ensure we remain the world leader in financial innovation,” Lummis stated.

魯米斯的提議旨在透過鞏固其對抗通膨的立場並確保美國在快速變化的全球金融格局中的霸主地位來「增強美元的實力」。 Lummis 表示：“建立比特幣戰略儲備將牢牢確保美元在 21 世紀作為世界儲備貨幣的地位，並確保我們在金融創新領域保持世界領先地位。”

Under Lummis’s proposal, the strategic Bitcoin reserve would reflect the size of gold reserves currently held by the U.S., effectively mirroring these holdings with digital assets. The legislation also outlines the creation of a decentralized network of secure Bitcoin vaults operated by the Treasury Department, which would adhere to the highest standards of physical and cybersecurity.

根據魯米斯的提議，比特幣戰略儲備將反映美國目前持有的黃金儲備規模，從而有效地以數位資產反映這些持有量。該立法還概述了由財政部運營的去中心化安全比特幣金庫網路的創建，該網路將遵守實體和網路安全的最高標準。

Furthermore, the bill emphasizes the protection of individual financial freedoms by affirming self-custody rights for private Bitcoin holders. It underscores that the strategic reserve will not impinge upon these rights. Financing for this ambitious project would come from reallocating existing funds within the Federal Reserve System and the Treasury Department.

此外，該法案強調透過確認私人比特幣持有者的自我保管權來保護個人財務自由。它強調戰略儲備不會侵犯這些權利。這個雄心勃勃的計畫的融資將來自於聯準會系統和財政部內現有資金的重新分配。

“This strategic Bitcoin reserve would be required to hold onto the Bitcoin for 20 years, the only permitted use during that time period would be to pay down our country’s national debt,” the bill specifies.

該法案指出，“這一比特幣戰略儲備需要持有比特幣 20 年，在此期間唯一允許的用途是償還我們國家的國債。”

Lummis’s announcement came shortly after former President Trump’s declaration of his intent to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world” if re-elected in November. Her speech also followed her recent opposition to President Joe Biden’s administration’s proposed 30% excise tax on the energy consumed by Bitcoin miners, which she detailed in a report titled “Powering Down Progress: Why A Bitcoin Mining Tax Hurts America.”

Lummis 的宣布是在前總統川普宣佈如果 11 月連任時他打算讓美國成為「世界加密貨幣之都」之後不久。在她發表演說之前，她最近反對喬·拜登總統政府提議對比特幣礦工消耗的能源徵收30% 的消費稅，她在題為“阻礙進步：為什麼比特幣挖礦稅會傷害美國”的報告中詳細介紹了這項提議。

With her roles on the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, & Urban Development; Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation; and Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works, Lummis continues to champion issues related to lands, energy, natural resources, and digital assets. Her strategic Bitcoin reserve bill represents a bold step towards integrating cryptocurrency into the national fiscal strategy, potentially heralding a new era in American economic policy.

她在參議院銀行、住房和城市發展委員會擔任職務；參議院商業、科學和運輸委員會；和參議院環境與公共工程委員會，Lummis 繼續倡導與土地、能源、自然資源和數位資產相關的議題。她的戰略性比特幣儲備法案代表將加密貨幣納入國家財政戰略的大膽一步，可能預示著美國經濟政策的新時代。
