Texas Re-Files Bitcoin Reserve Bill: What’s Changing In Crypto Legislation?

On February 12, Schwertner re-filed legislation to invest in cryptocurrency and to provide the comptroller of public accounts investment authority over reserve and some other state assets. In order to promote economic resilience and financial security, the bill creates a reserve as an investment vehicle that gives the state the authority to actively purchase, sell, and manage cryptocurrency assets.

The strategic Bitcoin reserve measure SB 778, which was announced by the Republican legislator in mid-January, is somewhat different from SB 21. Additionally, SB 21 provides financial experts more authority, whereas SB 778 gives state lawmakers more authority and imposes more stringent funding, security, and supervision regulations. The previous law forbids using Bitcoin for other state functions unless specifically permitted and only allows the state to purchase and hold it as a strategic asset.
