Texas proposes strategic bitcoin reserve to fight inflation
Texas is exploring the idea of establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve as a way to combat inflation and bolster the state's financial stability. The initiative is being led by lawmakers in discussions facilitated by the Satoshi Action Fund (SAF), a nonprofit organization advocating for the use of Bitcoin in government reserves. This proposal could make Texas the first U.S. state to adopt Bitcoin as part of its financial strategy.
The strategic Bitcoin reserve concept would involve the state purchasing and holding Bitcoin, potentially offering a hedge against inflation and providing economic security. The state, which has the eighth-largest economy in the world, could use Bitcoin to protect against the risks of inflation and currency devaluation, much like other nations are starting to explore similar strategies.
This move would not only serve as a safeguard against inflation but could also support the U.S. Bitcoin mining industry, which faces pressures from international actors. The potential legislation reflects growing momentum for the idea, with some lawmakers in Pennsylvania and U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis also pushing for similar initiatives at the federal level
