Texas House Proposes Bill to Create Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
Texas has introduced a bill to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, which would allow the state to accept taxes, fees, and donations in Bitcoin and be held for at least five years.
Republican state Rep. Giovanni Capriglione proposed the bill to combat inflation, strengthen Texas’ fiscal stability, and position the state as a leader in Bitcoin innovation. The bill, supported by the Satoshi Action Fund, does not currently include direct Bitcoin purchasing but aims to attract support for broader measures.
Texas, the second-largest U.S. economy, 8th globally and a Bitcoin mining hub, hopes miners will pay taxes in Bitcoin.
