The Texas legislator in the United States resubmits a Bitcoin reserve bill, expanding it to include other cryptocurrencies
Odaily Planet Daily reports that a Texas congressman has reintroduced a bill aimed at establishing strategic Bitcoin reserves. The bill, now designated as SB 21, allows for investment in additional cryptocurrencies. Senator Charles Schwertner announced the bill on February 12th, emphasizing that it would make the state the first to establish cryptocurrency reserves and could potentially drive innovation and "financial freedom".
This new legislation builds on SB 778, an older bill introduced in January of this year primarily targeting Bitcoin. The SB 778 law restricts state governments to only purchasing and holding Bitcoin without using it for other operations. In contrast, SB 21 expands this scope by allowing investments in cryptocurrencies with a market value of at least $500 billion maintained throughout the year. However, currently, Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that meets this standard.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen defended the rise in U.S. Treasury yields, stating that this increase is a global phenomenon rather than unique to the United States, and does not warrant excessive concern. She partially attributed inflationary pressures to higher oil prices caused by the Iran conflict, and expects the energy shock to subside as hostilities ease. Yellen refuted the notion of an AI bubble, arguing that investments by major tech companies are grounded in solid business logic.
