Texas Moves Forward with Bill to Create State Bitcoin Reserve
The state of Texas has referred a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill to the Senate's Finance Committee, signaling its interest in holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset. This move aligns with the growing trend of various U.S. states exploring the use of Bitcoin reserves and could position Texas as a leader in integrating digital assets into state financial strategies. The proposed bill, introduced in December 2024, aims to create a separate Bitcoin reserve for the state, allowing Texas to accumulate Bitcoin as a state asset. Other states are also working on similar bills, highlighting the bipartisan interest in incorporating cryptocurrency into state financial planning. Texas, with its significant economic power, sees the establishment of a Bitcoin reserve as an opportunity to solidify its role in the global economy and position itself as a leader in digital finance. Former Meta executive David Marcus has even suggested that the U.S. government should consider exchanging some of its gold reserves for Bitcoin.
