Florida Lawmakers Propose State-Run Bitcoin Reserve Bill

Published at 2026-01-09 06:15:08

Florida legislators have filed a bill to establish a state-run Bitcoin reserve, aiming to diversify government holdings and provide an inflation hedge amid persistent macro uncertainty. Proponents say acting quickly is intended to secure BTC (ticker: BTC) at current market levels and position the state as a crypto-forward fiscal innovator, while opponents will likely raise concerns about volatility and custodial risk. The proposal matters because it could set a template for other states weighing crypto in public finance, touching on accounting treatment, custody arrangements, and oversight of a new asset class in government portfolios. The bill faces committee review and political debate before any implementation details—such as storage, risk limits, and reporting—are settled, so timelines and market impact remain uncertain.
