The Bitcoin reserve proposal from Texas adopted a vote in the Senate with 25 of the 30 votes in favor. It will take another vote in the House of Representatives to reach the Governor and become law, but progress is very encouraging.
Several other reserve proposals at the level of the state have failed due to defections of the Republican Party. In Texas, however, most of the Democrats voted in favor. This bill has not yet triggered the compulsory purchases of Bitcoin, which was a major collision point with the tax conservatives.
Texas may soon obtain a Bitcoin reserve
In several states of the United States, Pro-Crypto legislators are trying to pass Bitcoin reserves on a small scale. The effort of Texas was a particular point of interest, and the lieutenant-government of the State supported the proposal with enthusiasm.
Last week, the Bitcoin reserve bill in Texas was adopted by the Committee, and today, it succeeded in Senate 25-5.
“Texas Bitcoin Reserve Bill adopted the Senate with democratic support. (The final vote was 25 to 5 years and there are 11 Democratic senators). If there is a transversal support similar to the Chamber, the prospects for the success of the bill are good, “said a legislative guard dog on social networks.
The effort to pass a bitcoin reserve in Texas was an important element of cryptographic regulations for several reasons. Obviously, Texas is a broad and economically vital area, with the second larger GDP of all American states.
In addition, this effort represents a crucial chance to defeat a sequence of defeats in reserve laws at the level of the State.
Essentially, these invoices would trigger up to $ 23 billion in Bitcoin purchases nationally, which has delighted the cryptographic community. There is only one problem: the republican party values tax conservatism.
Montana legislators rejected expenditure taxes on Bitcoin, and a wave of other red states followed soon after.
Above all, however, the Bitcoin reserve proposal from Texas did not have these expenses. If the government of the State wishes to buy bitcoin, ideally in the large local mining industry, it can do it.
However, approval at this stage does not inevitably trigger this type of expenditure, and now Texas can join states like Utah and Arizona as leaders in this race.
What is the next step for the BTC Reserve Bill in Texas?
Despite today’s victory, the fight for a bitcoin reserve of Texas is far from over. The bill will now move to the House of State Representatives, which has more than five times more members.
More specifically, the Chamber of Representatives of Texas has 89 Republican members and 62 Democrats. In theory, this should be a clear victory, because the Republicans are largely pro-Crypto.
However, this was not the case in Montana, Northern Dakota, southern Dakota, Pennsylvania and Wyoming, where several Republican members voted against respective BTC reserve law.
The Texas bill adopted the Senate with almost unanimous support, but it could be more controversial before a larger body. Anyway, it’s a victory, and Bitcoin reserve efforts could use a victory right now.
