Texas House Introduces Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill
On Thursday, the Texas House of Representatives introduced a measure to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve, incorporating cryptocurrencies into state financial policy.
Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Proposed by Texas Lawmaker
Capriglione introduced the measure at X Spaces, highlighting the potential advantages of a strategic Bitcoin reserve in boosting Texas's economic stability and Bitcoin innovation.
“Probably the biggest enemy of our investments is inflation,” Capriglione said. A strategic bitcoin reserve investment in bitcoin would benefit the state.”
The bill, “An Act Relating to the Establishment of a Bitcoin Reserve within the State Treasury of Texas and the Management of Cryptocurrencies by Governmental Entities,” reflects a growing institutional interest in the market leader.
Expecting New Regulations
Capriglione said, “My goal is to make this bill as big and as broad as possible.” This first move allows some flexibility, but if I obtain backing from other lawmakers, we will strengthen it.”
Following the election of pro-crypto President-elect Donald Trump, the movement for a national strategic BTC reserve has grown.
Besides public backing, President-elect Trump has already taken actions to help the digital asset market, including choosing Paul Atkins to oversee the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a major turnaround from Gary Gensler's attitude.
The now-47th US President has also appointed David Sacks, another pro-crypto member of his cabinet, as the White House "Crypto Czar" to bridge the gap between Congress, regulators, and the White House on crypto matters.
The possibility of a US Bitcoin reserve has helped BTC prices rise over 45% in recent months as investors expect new regulatory frameworks to boost prices.
The Texas effort was important, according to Satoshi Action Fund CEO and co-founder Dennis Porter:
The Texas ‘Strategic Bitcoin Reserve’ law permits Texans to donate Bitcoin.
