Texas Goes All-In on Bitcoin with New State Treasury Law

Texas is making history—Governor Greg Abbott has signed SB21, officially adding Bitcoin to the state’s financial reserves with the creation of the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

This isn’t just symbolic: the fund is legally shielded from budget raids (thanks to HB 4488) and will be professionally managed by the Texas Comptroller alongside crypto experts. With a strict $500B+ market cap rule, Bitcoin stands alone as the reserve’s first asset.

The fund can grow through purchases, forks, airdrops, and even public donations—with full transparency via biennial reports. While other states have explored similar moves, Texas is the first to commit real capital and a dedicated structure.

The message is clear: Bitcoin belongs in government treasuries, and Texas is leading the charge.
