**Texas Lawmakers Eye Strategic Bitcoin Reserve**

Texan lawmakers are in early talks about creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve, according to the Satoshi Action Fund (SAF). SAF CEO Dennis Porter discussed this at the North American Blockchain Summit, highlighting the potential impact on Texas's economy, the world's eighth largest.

The idea isn't new in the U.S.; similar legislation has been proposed in states like Pennsylvania and by Senator Cynthia Lummis. Advocates argue that such reserves could protect against inflation and secure U.S. Bitcoin mining from foreign influence. The concept is gaining momentum, with international interest also rising.
