Florida Lawmakers Relaunch Bid for State Bitcoin Reserve
Florida Lawmakers Renew Push to Launch State Bitcoin Reserve
Florida lawmakers have filed new legislation for the 2026 session that would create a state-run crypto reserve, reviving an effort that stalled last year.
The move would again put the idea of holding bitcoin on the state’s balance sheet back on the legislative agenda. The new filing follows a similar push in the prior session that did not advance, with two earlier attempts shelved less than a year ago.
While the proposal is still at the introduction stage, it signals continued interest among some Florida lawmakers in formally treating bitcoin as a reserve asset within a state-managed framework.
The renewed effort also reflects a broader policy trend: state-level officials across the U.S. have been exploring how digital assets might fit into public finance and treasury management, even as many proposals remain in early stages or face procedural hurdles.
