The Texas legislature is considering a bill introduced by State Representative Giovanni Capriglione that aims to establish a Bitcoin strategic reserve.
This proposed legislation, H.B. No. 1598, seeks to accumulate a supply of Bitcoin for the state and commit to holding the assets for at least five years without selling.
Texas residents are also allowed to contribute donations to the fund, which demonstrates the state's commitment to innovation in digital assets.
This initiative is intended to enhance financial security for Texans and aligns with ongoing national discussions on the role of Bitcoin in state and federal financial strategies.
