The Bitcoin Texas reserve bill would allow the State controller to invest in cryptos

SB 21, if it was approved, would establish the “Strategic Reserve of Texas Bitcoin” which will be controlled by the State controller, Glenn Hegar.

Hegar would then be authorized to invest in digital assets which maintained a market capitalization of more than $ 500 billion in the last 12 months. Currently, the main Bitcoin crypto (BTC) is the only digital asset that meets these criteria.

SB 21 was initially presented as a Bitcoin bill in January. The following month, however, it was refreshed by modifications which allow the inclusion of other cryptos which meet the criteria of market capitalization.

According to the founder of Bitcoin Laws, Julian Fahrer, the decision around SB 21 should be known before June 2. It was at this time that the Legislative Assembly will adjourn it.

The Texas Bitcoin reserve should be a vote.

The legislature of the TX adjourns 6/2, so we should know more in the 3 weeks at the latest. https://t.co/iystsnrwmo
