Texas has become the first U.S. state to create a publicly funded, stand-alone bitcoin BTC reserve after Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 21 into law over the weekend. The bill directs the state to establish a bitcoin reserve managed independently from the main treasury, joining a small but growing group of states exploring digital asset reserves.

Unlike Arizona and New Hampshire, which passed similar legislation, Texas did not just authorize the reserve but is actively funding it. The state will be appropriating $10 million in order to purchase bitcoin for the reserve.

The news comes months after the Trump administration announced the creation of a national crypto reserve — though that vehicle is supposed to be funded in strictly budget-neutral ways, like through crypto asset seizures or by issuing crypto bonds.

Abbott also signed bill HB 4488, a companion measure that protects the bitcoin reserve from routine ‘fund sweeps’ into the state’s general revenue.

The legislation marks a shift in how states may begin treating digital assets — not just as speculative tools, but as sovereign financial instruments worth holding long-term.
