该金融工具将由新罕布什尔州商业金融管理局发行,支持与比特币挖矿和数据中心公司 CleanSpark 相关的高达 1 亿美元的私营部门债券。理事会的投票是最后一步。 “这是一个极其短视的决定,”长期加密货币倡导者、新罕布什尔州众议院多数党领袖 Keith Ammon 在社交媒体网站 X 上发帖称,“他们应该收集所有相关事实和信息,并在未来的会议上重新考虑他们的投票。” 阿蒙告诉 ,今年是理事会成员的选举年,只需要一个人就能改变选票,并补充道,“我们不会放弃。” 新罕布什尔州在制定加密货币政策方面处于领先地位,去年成为第一个建立加密货币储备的州——远远领先于尚未完成的联邦努力。 比特币新闻
New Hampshire canceled the state effort toward setting up a first-of-its-kind governmental bitcoin bond.
The state's executive council rejected the idea in a 3-2 vote.
At the last moment, New Hampshire has turned its back on a groundbreaking effort to establish what was expected to be the first rated, bitcoin-backed bond issued under a state's authority, with a governmental body there canceling the project.
Just a few months after Moody's Ratings gave the bond a Ba2 rating, the New Hampshire Executive Council, which reviews major state financial actions, slammed the door with a 3-2 decision that sided with those concerned about the state's financial reputation.
The financial instrument was to be issued by the Business Finance Authority of the State of New Hampshire, backing a private-sector bond of up to $100 million tied to Bitcoin mining and datacenter firm CleanSpark. The council's vote was the final step.
"It was an extremely short-sighted decision," Keith Ammon, a longtime crypto advocate and the majority floor leader in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, posted on social media site X. "They should gather all relevant facts and information and reconsider their vote at a future meeting."
Ammon told that it's an election year for council members, and it only takes one to swing the vote, adding, "We're not giving up."
New Hampshire has led among states establishing crypto policies, becoming the first to establish a crypto reserve last year — well ahead of the yet-unfinished federal effort.
