Cynthia Lummis 在 Bitcoin 2024 上公布“战略比特币储备”法案

该计划建议美国政府应购买全球 5% 的比特币供应量并保留至少二十年。

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.

美国参议员辛西娅·鲁米斯 (Cynthia Lummis) 提出一项法案，要求政府购买全球 5% 的比特币供应量，并保留至少二十年。战略储备的设计目的只有一个：减轻国家不断增长的债务。

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 日的比特币 2024 大会上发表主题演讲时解释说，该计划如果获得通过，实施将跨越五年，政府的目标是收购 100 万比特币。鉴于当前比特币价格为 68,105 美元，此次收购的投资额约为 681 亿美元。

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.

该计划将从前总统唐纳德·特朗普之前提到的 210,000 个比特币开始，这些比特币将被安全地存储在不同地理位置的金库中。

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.

鲁米斯的提议旨在通过巩固其对抗通胀的立场并确保美国在快速变化的全球金融格局中的霸主地位来“增强美元的实力”。 Lummis 表示：“建立比特币战略储备将牢牢确保美元在 21 世纪作为世界储备货币的地位，并确保我们在金融创新领域保持世界领先地位。”

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.

根据鲁米斯的提议，比特币战略储备将反映美国目前持有的黄金储备规模，从而有效地用数字资产反映这些持有量。该立法还概述了由财政部运营的去中心化安全比特币金库网络的创建，该网络将遵守物理和网络安全的最高标准。

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，该法案强调通过确认私人比特币持有者的自我保管权来保护个人财务自由。它强调战略储备不会侵犯这些权利。这个雄心勃勃的项目的融资将来自于美联储系统和财政部内现有资金的重新分配。

“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.

该法案指出，“这一比特币战略储备需要持有比特币 20 年，在此期间唯一允许的用途是偿还我们国家的国债。”

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 的宣布是在前总统特朗普宣布如果 11 月连任时他打算让美国成为“世界加密货币之都”之后不久。在她发表讲话之前，她最近反对乔·拜登总统政府提议对比特币矿工消耗的能源征收 30% 的消费税，她在题为“阻碍进步：为什么比特币挖矿税会伤害美国”的报告中详细介绍了这一提议。

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.

她在参议院银行、住房和城市发展委员会担任职务；参议院商业、科学和运输委员会；和参议院环境与公共工程委员会，Lummis 继续倡导与土地、能源、自然资源和数字资产相关的问题。她的战略性比特币储备法案代表着将加密货币纳入国家财政战略的大胆一步，可能预示着美国经济政策的新时代。
