#TexasBTCReserveBill #TexasBTCReserveBill #TexasBTCReserveBill Bitcoin Reserve Bill, officially known as Senate Bill 21 (SB-21), proposes the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the state of Texas. Introduced by State Senator Charles Schwertner in January 2025, the bill aims to position Texas at the forefront of the digital economy by allowing the state to hold Bitcoin as a financial asset. On March 6, 2025, the Texas Senate passed SB-21 with a 25-5 vote, advancing the bill further in the legislative process. The legislation empowers the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts to acquire, sell, and manage Bitcoin and other digital assets, provided they have maintained a market capitalization of at least $500 billion over the past twelve months. This move is intended to diversify the state's financial reserves and serve as a hedge against inflation and economic volatility. The bill has garnered both support and criticism. Proponents argue that it will drive innovation, economic growth, and financial freedom in Texas. Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick has designated the bill as one of the Senate's top 40 priority bills for 2025, reflecting its significance in the state's legislative agenda. However, critics express concerns over the volatility of Bitcoin and the potential risks to taxpayer funds. Some view the initiative as a form of cronyism that could benefit crypto executives at the expense of public resources. The passage of SB-21 aligns with broader national discussions on cryptocurrency reserves. President Donald Trump has announced plans to create a U.S. strategic cryptocurrency reserve, which would include major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. This federal initiative has prompted several states, including Texas, to explore similar measures to bolster their financial resilience and embrace digital assets. #TexasBTCReserveBill #TexasBTCReserveBill
