 <li>America has expressed its aim to become a leading nation within the BTC mining sector.</li>
</ul>
The Governor of the USA state, Oklahoma signed a crypto bill that exempts Bitcoin miners from electricity sales tax. This bill is the state’s step toward advancing self-governance in the cryptocurrency sector. Notably, the signing has made Oklahoma the first state in the nation to advance in crypto and bitcoin mining.&nbsp;
The Bill ‘HB1600’ grants Oklahoma the status of having the most effective power rate in the country. Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt’s signing makes the state the possessor of the most affordable power rate for Bitcoin mining. This is expected to attract major mining companies to set up industries in Oklahoma.&nbsp;
Furthermore as <a href="https://x.com/oklahomabtc/status/1801742944900366569" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stated</a> by the Oklahoma Bitcoin Association’s X account, the Bill is an effort to empower the Bitcoin mining industry. Additionally, it would revolutionize power purchasing, utilization of existing assets, and power grid optimization, stated the association.&nbsp;
The Oklahoma Bitcoin Association stated that the law:&nbsp;
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 “OK is ready, willing, and able to invest in the success of the mining industry in our state.”
</blockquote>
Previously in May 2024, the state passed the ‘HB 3594’ bill which protects the rights of cryptocurrency. This bill prevents the prohibition, limitation, or harming of cryptocurrency usage within purchases and self-hosting rights by the state government. Moreover, according to the bill, the state cannot levy any additional taxes for cryptocurrency.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The two bills are believed to revolutionize and navigate crypto regulations within the cryptocurrency and Bitcoin mining sectors.&nbsp;
