Texas Advances Towards Bitcoin Integration in Reserve Systems

The Texas Senate has taken a significant step by approving SB-21, allowing the state to invest in Bitcoin through a management system overseen by the state comptroller.

Approval of SB-21

The Texas Senate Banking Committee voted 9-0 to forward Senate Bill 21 to the Senate floor. Sponsored by Senator Charles Schwertner, the bill aims to establish a Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve to incorporate Bitcoin in the state's economic policy.

Key Considerations of the Bill

SB-21 authorizes the Texas Comptroller to purchase, sell, and exchange cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin to hedge against inflation and economic uncertainties. The bill also includes security measures such as cold storage to protect digital assets.

Future Steps for Bitcoin in Texas

If passed, SB-21 positions Texas as one of the first US states to hold Bitcoin in its reserves. This move might prompt discussions in other US jurisdictions about integrating cryptocurrencies into state finances.

The approval of the bill in the Texas Senate underscores the state's ambition to lead in blockchain technology and sets the stage for other states to follow suit.
