Florida lawmakers introduced a bill on Jan 9 proposing a state-run Bitcoin reserve to diversify the treasury and hedge against inflation. If passed, the measure would make Florida one of the first U.S. states to hold BTC on its balance sheet.
Representative John Snyder filed HB 1039 on Jan. 7, 2026, to establish a strategic state cryptocurrency reserve backed by Bitcoin, aiming to diversify Florida’s assets and explore digital-asset policy options.
