Texas Becomes First U.S. State to Buy Bitcoin

Published at 2025-11-25 19:15:53

Texas has become the first U.S. state to add Bitcoin to its treasury, buying $10 million worth of BTC on November 20 to launch a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Officials framed the purchase as a diversification step for state funds and a proactive approach to long-term value preservation, making the state an early mover among public-sector treasuries.

The decision is likely to reverberate across state governments and institutional investors, as policymakers weigh the trade-offs between potential upside and volatility. Markets and taxpayers will be watching disclosure practices, custody arrangements and risk management as other states consider similar moves; the purchase marks a notable milestone in mainstream crypto adoption and could spur further policy debates about digital-asset allocations.
