Oklahoma Senator Dusty Deevers has introduced the Bitcoin Freedom Act (SB325), allowing residents to receive wages in Bitcoin. This bill aims to offer choice and protection against inflation.

Bill SB325: A New Choice for Oklahomans

Senator Deevers' proposal allows employees to opt for wages in Bitcoin. The bill also lets businesses accept Bitcoin as payment for goods and services. Participation is voluntary for both employers and employees. The bill is slated for consideration during Oklahoma’s 60th legislative session starting February 3, 2025.

Bitcoin as a Hedge Against Inflation

A key argument for the bill is Bitcoin's potential to hedge against inflation. Deevers has highlighted concerns about the U.S. dollar's declining value due to high inflation and excessive government spending. With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is seen as a solution resistant to inflationary pressures. In a press release, Deevers stated, “Inflation resulting from wasteful spending and money creation in Washington D.C. is reducing the value of the earnings of Oklahomans.” Bitcoin allows individuals to safeguard their savings against the depreciation of traditional currencies.

National Leadership and Financial Sovereignty

Senator Deevers, a critic of the U.S. dollar's depreciation, expresses concerns about government overreach and inflation. He wishes for Oklahoma to lead by example in embracing new technologies like cryptocurrencies. Deevers emphasized that Bitcoin's decentralized nature provides financial sovereignty and privacy, appealing to those wanting to protect their wealth from inflation and government control. He also criticized central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) for allowing governments to track, control, and restrict transactions, compromising financial privacy.

Deevers's proposal comes at a time of growing acceptance of Bitcoin in the U.S. and globally. Several countries and states, including Oklahoma, are exploring incorporating cryptocurrency into their economies.
