Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick has listed the creation of a state-level Bitcoin reserve among the top legislative priorities for the current year.
Earlier today, Axios reported that the Lone Star State, which boasts a GDP of $2.4 trillion, could also allow Texas to make Bitcoin donations.
Texas is, of course, known as a major Bitcoin mining hub with plenty of industrial-scale operations.
Other states are also mulling over establishing their own Bitcoin treasuries. They include Florida, Ohio, North Dakota, and Wyoming.
