A new bill aimed at establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve was introduced to the Oklahoma House of Representatives on January 15.<\/span><\/p>\n

This move reflects similar initiatives in several other US states. <\/span>Oklahoma Representative Cody Maynard has introduced the bill to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, enabling the state to invest in cryptocurrencies.<\/span><\/p>\n

House Bill 1203<\/a>, also called the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, would allow Oklahoma’s pension funds and state savings accounts to allocate a portion of their assets to Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Bitcoin represents freedom from bureaucrats printing away our purchasing power,” Maynard said. He highlighted the advantage of Bitcoin as a decentralized form of money, and as such, cannot be controlled or created by government entities:<\/span><\/p>\n

“It is the ultimate store of value for those who believe in financial freedom and sound money principles.”<\/span><\/p>\n
