Reserve

A new bill in Texas has the potential to put the state at the forefront of cryptocurrency adoption as the state plans to introduce strategic Bitcoin reserve. 
As per the sources, Republican Rep. Giovanni Capriglione has unveiled a proposal that would establish a “strategic bitcoin reserve” to help bolster the state’s finances and spur economic growth through digital assets. 
The <a href="https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/89R/billtext/pdf/HB01598I.pdf#navpanes=0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">bill</a> will permit Texas to receive taxes, fees, and donations in Bitcoin. The state’s treasury would then have the obligation to hold it there for at least five years. According to a nonprofit group advocating for Bitcoin called the Satoshi Action Fund, this step is going to shield the state from inflation and can help make it more secure in its economic status amid an uncertain landscape. 
“Probably the biggest enemy of our investments is inflation,” said Capriglione. “A strategic bitcoin reserve, investing in bitcoin, would be a win-win for the state.” 
Although the bill doesn’t immediately propose the buying of bitcoins, it will allow businesses and miners within the state to pay their taxes with cryptocurrency-a step that would help the adoption of more crypto. 
Texas is already home to the largest number of bitcoin miners in the US, and this is part of a much greater trend of states pushing in the direction of embracing Bitcoin. Similar bills popped out in Pennsylvania and many more states, while discussions from national levels about having a United States bitcoin reserve have gone strong. 
Capriglione hopes the bill will prompt further discussion and collaboration between lawmakers. “My goal is to make this bill as big and as broad as possible,” he said. This is just the first step.
