俄亥俄州提议在国库设立比特币基金的法案

俄亥俄州众议院共和党领袖德里克·梅林 (Derek Merrin) 提出了一项在州财政部设立比特币基金的新法案，使俄亥俄州成为美国一个多月内第三个提出此类举措的州。

Ohio could become the third U.S. state to propose the establishment of a Bitcoin fund in the state treasury.

俄亥俄州可能成为美国第三个提议在国库设立比特币基金的州。

The bill, introduced by Ohio House Republican leader Derek Merrin, would give the state treasurer the authority to purchase Bitcoin as part of the state's asset allocation strategy.

该法案由俄亥俄州众议院共和党领袖德里克·梅林 (Derek Merrin) 提出，将赋予州财政部长购买比特币的权力，作为该州资产配置策略的一部分。

The bill, HB 703, is called the Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Act. It would give the state treasurer the authority to purchase Bitcoin as part of the state’s asset allocation strategy, though it wouldn’t require it.

该法案 HB 703，被称为俄亥俄州比特币储备法案。它将赋予州财政部长购买比特币的权力，作为州资产配置策略的一部分，尽管它并不要求这样做。

Merrin said the bill is designed to protect Ohio tax dollars from the rapidly devaluing U.S. dollar and to help the state embrace technology.

梅林表示，该法案旨在保护俄亥俄州税收免受美元迅速贬值的影响，并帮助该州拥抱技术。

“Ohio must embrace technology and protect tax dollars from eroding,” Merrin said.

“俄亥俄州必须拥抱技术并保护税收免受侵蚀，”梅林说。

The bill is expected to serve as a framework for the upcoming legislative session, starting in January 2025, after the current session ends on December 31, 2024.

该法案预计将在本届立法会议于 2024 年 12 月 31 日结束后，作为即将于 2025 年 1 月开始的立法会议的框架。

This bill follows similar actions in Texas and Pennsylvania.

该法案是在德克萨斯州和宾夕法尼亚州采取类似行动之后提出的。

Texas House Rep. Giovanni Capriglione recently introduced the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, proposing Bitcoin as a reserve asset for the state.

德克萨斯州众议院众议员乔瓦尼·卡普里廖内 (Giovanni Capriglione) 最近提出了《德克萨斯州战略比特币储备法案》，提议将比特币作为该州的储备资产。

In Pennsylvania, Rep. Mike Cabell proposed allowing the state’s treasury to hold up to 10% in Bitcoin to hedge against economic instability.

在宾夕法尼亚州，众议员 Mike Cabell 提议允许州财政部持有最多 10% 的比特币，以对冲经济不稳定。

Merrin, a vocal supporter of crypto, believes that Bitcoin’s potential to revolutionize finance could strengthen Ohio’s finances.

梅林是加密货币的坚定支持者，他认为比特币彻底改变金融的潜力可以增强俄亥俄州的财政状况。

“We must have sound money — it’s like digital property rights for everyone who owns it,” Merrin said.

“我们必须拥有健全的货币——这就像每个拥有它的人的数字财产权，”梅林说。

With the growing momentum behind state-level Bitcoin reserves, the U.S. may be seeing a shift in how governments approach digital currencies.

随着国家级比特币储备的不断增长，美国政府处理数字货币的方式可能会发生转变。
