Ohio State Senator Niraj Antani has introduced legislation that aims to legalize Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for tax and fee payments in Ohio and its local subdivisions. The bill seeks to encourage the use of digital assets in government transactions and position Ohio at the forefront of technological advancement. It also allows state universities and public pension funds to invest in cryptocurrencies. Several other states have explored or introduced similar legislation, reflecting the growing interest in using crypto for state payments. If successful, Ohio would become the second state to implement such a program, following Colorado's acceptance of crypto for taxes in 2022.
