The states of Texas and Oklahoma have taken steps to integrate Bitcoin into state finances. Both states introduced bills proposing the creation of a strategic Bitcoin reserve.

Texas Senate Bill SB 778

Texas Senator Charles Schwertner introduced Senate Bill SB 778, which proposes the creation of the first-ever state-level Bitcoin strategic reserve in the United States. Schwertner argues that incorporating Bitcoin into the state's financial system can boost economic growth and financial freedom. He emphasizes Texas' significant budget surplus and its ambition to lead the digital economy.

Oklahoma House Bill 1203

Oklahoma Representative Cody Maynard introduced House Bill 1203, proposing that the state allocate portions of its savings and pension funds to Bitcoin. Oklahoma views Bitcoin as protection against inflation and a tool for financial stability. Maynard advocates for Bitcoin as a means of preserving purchasing power and autonomy from government control.

Bitcoin represents freedom from bureaucrats printing away our purchasing power. As a decentralized form of money, Bitcoin cannot be manipulated or created by government entities. It is the ultimate store of value for those who believe in financial freedom and sound money principles.Cody Maynard

The Growing Trend of Bitcoin Reserve Legislation

Many US states are considering Bitcoin as a strategic reserve. Pennsylvania, for example, proposed investing up to 10% of its state treasury in Bitcoin. By January 2024, North Dakota and New Hampshire had introduced their Bitcoin reserve bills. New Hampshire's legislation uses the broader term 'digital assets,' indicating potential interest in cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin.

Legislative moves to establish strategic Bitcoin reserves are gaining traction both in US states and internationally. Various countries and cities around the world are exploring ways to incorporate Bitcoin into their financial systems.
