Texas House committee passes Bitcoin reserve bill for full floor vote

  • On May 7, 2025, Senate Bill 21, a proposal to create a state-managed Bitcoin reserve, was approved by a key committee in the Texas House, moving the legislation closer to a full House vote.
  • The bill follows a trend among US states to create strategic Bitcoin reserves, with Arizona and New Hampshire enacting similar laws this week while Florida dropped its plans.
  • SB 21 allows the Texas comptroller to invest state funds exclusively in digital assets maintaining a $500 billion market cap, currently only Bitcoin, and passed the Senate 25-5 in March.
  • The House Committee approved SB 21 by a 9-4 party-line vote, and Julian Fahrer stated on May 8 that the bill’s final fate will be known by the legislative session’s June 2 adjournment.
  • If the full House approves SB 21, Governor Greg Abbott—who has expressed support for digital assets—is likely to sign it, which would make Texas the first state to officially maintain Bitcoin as part of its strategic reserve.
