Republican House leader Derek Merrin introduced a bill to establish a Bitcoin reserve in Ohio, making it the third U.S. state with such an initiative in the past month.

The Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Act

Known as the Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Act (HB 703), the bill grants the state's treasury authority to purchase Bitcoin as part of Ohio's asset allocation strategy. It establishes the framework for the use of Bitcoin to reinforce financial stability.

The U.S. Dollar is being rapidly devalued, and our State Treasurer should have the authority and flexibility to invest in Bitcoin when determining proper asset allocation.Derek Merrin

The Bill's Provisions and Potential Impact

The bill amends sections of Ohio’s Revised Code to create a dedicated Bitcoin fund within the state treasury, allowing flexible decision-making on Bitcoin investments as part of financial planning strategies.

A Growing Trend Across the U.S.

Ohio's initiative is part of a broader trend with other states like Pennsylvania and Texas also proposing similar plans, highlighting the increasing interest in digital assets within state reserves.

If passed, the bill could strengthen Ohio's fiscal position, reduce the need to raise taxes or cut services, and enhance the state's ability to meet its obligations more effectively.
