On January 15, 2025, representative of the Oklahoma Legislature Cody Maynard introduced the bill "The Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Act." This document will allow state pension funds and savings accounts to invest part of their assets in bitcoin as a way to protect against inflation and macroeconomic risks.
According to Maynard, bitcoin is a means of preserving value, free from government interference and inflationary risks. This move makes Oklahoma one of several US states considering the possibility of including bitcoin in their government assets.
In addition to Oklahoma, similar initiatives are represented in Pennsylvania, Texas and New Hampshire. These states see bitcoin as a long-term tool for diversifying and protecting public funds.
If the bill is passed, it will strengthen bitcoin's position as an important asset for public investment in the United States.
