Utah Proposes Bill for Public Fund Investment in Cryptocurrency: A New Step for the Future of Finance

Utah has just introduced a groundbreaking bill allowing the state treasury to invest public funds in cryptocurrency, marking an important step in applying blockchain technology to public finance.

Main Contents of the Bill

The bill, titled “Blockchain and Digital Innovation (H.B. 230),” proposed by Representative Jordan Teuscher, will establish a legal framework for investing, staking, lending digital assets, and protecting citizens' rights to manage their cryptocurrency assets.
Utah Shifts Gears: Drops Bitcoin Reserve in Game Changing Crypto Law Utah just made waves in the crypto scene, passing a landmark bill on March 10, 2025, that’s got everyone talking but not for the reason you would expect. The state’s Blockchain and Digital Innovation Amendments (HB230) sailed through the Senate, but lawmakers yanked a bombshell provision: no more state backed Bitcoin reserve. Originally, Utah was poised to let its treasurer stash up to 5% of public funds in BTC, eyeing a $500 billion market cap club that’s basically Bitcoin only. Now? That dream is off the table. Don’t cry for crypto yet, though. The bill still packs a punch, residents get ironclad rights to self custody their digital assets, mine Bitcoin, run nodes, and stake without meddling from the state. It’s a win for freedom, just not the reserve jackpot some hodlers hoped for. Set to kick in May 2025 if the governor signs, this pivot leaves Arizona and Texas as the frontrunners in the race for America’s first state Bitcoin stockpile. Why the U-turn? Lawmakers didn’t spill the tea, but whispers point to risk averse vibes after Bitcoin’s recent 12% dip to $80,000. Utah’s not out of the crypto game, it’s just playing it safer. Meanwhile, the crypto socials are buzzing: “Fundamentals are stronger than ever,” one user posted, while another cheered, “TX + AZ leading the charge!” Love it or hate it, Utah’s move proves crypto’s here to stay just not in its piggy bank. Yet. #Utah $BTC

😱🚨🚨US State Says Yes to Crypto, No to Bitcoin Reserves🤯 The Utah Senate, which aimed to block the bill that aims to integrate crypto assets into legal framework, but the #Bitcoin reserve section included in the bill was removed from the final text. The #Utah Senate has accepted the “Blockchain and Digital Innovation Modifications” design, which aims to legally frame crypto assets and blockchain. The bill, known as HB230, was approved by a vote in the Senate on Friday. The most striking point about the bill is that the section “to use up to 5 percent of state assets to create Bitcoin reserves” was removed. Although Utah’s initiative did not achieve the desired change with the issuance of the crypto reserve document, the completion of the bill’s acceptance was generally welcomed. The final features of the HB230 bill allow Utah residents to legally perform transactions such as Bitcoin mining, storing crypto assets, and staking within their borders. More than 30 states have proposed laws regarding cryptocurrency reserves. Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, South Dakota and Pennsylvania are among the states whose proposals for such reserves have been roundly rejected. Finally, Arizona and Texas have been the ones whose release bills are being approved. #CryptoMarketWatch #TrumpCryptoSummit #TRUMP

Utah Senate Passes Bitcoin Bill but Removes Strategic Bitcoin Reserve ClauseMarch 11, 2025 – Utah’s State Senate has passed House Bill 230 (HB230), also known as the “Blockchain and Digital Innovation Amendments,” but removed a crucial clause that would have allowed the state treasury to invest in Bitcoin. The amended bill now awaits Governor Spencer Cox’s signature to become law. Bitcoin Investment Clause Removed Initially, HB230 permitted the state treasurer to invest up to 5% of certain public reserve funds in “qualifying digital assets.” However, only Bitcoin met the criteria, requiring a cryptocurrency to maintain a $500 billion market cap over 12 months and not be a stablecoin. Introduced by Utah Representative Jordan Teuscher on January 21, 2025, the bill passed the House of Representatives 8-1 before moving to the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee, where it was approved 4-2-1 on February 20. Despite clearing the second reading in the full Senate, lawmakers removed the Bitcoin Reserve clause on the third reading due to concerns about early adoption risks. Senator Kirk A. Cullimore stated during the March 7 session that there was “a lot of concern with those provisions and the early adoption of these types of policies.” What’s Left in the Bill? Although Utah will not be investing in Bitcoin, HB230 still establishes legal protections for digital asset holders in the state. The bill ensures: The right to mine Bitcoin, run a node, and develop blockchain software.The right to stake cryptocurrencies without excessive regulatory interference.Protection against government restrictions on using digital assets for payments.Clear definitions for digital assets and blockchain technology regulation. The bill passed the Senate with a 19-7-3 vote and now heads to Governor Spencer Cox for approval. The US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Race Continues While Utah opted out of creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), other US states remain in the race. According to Bitcoin Laws, Arizona has two BTC reserve bills awaiting a final Senate vote. Meanwhile, Texas’ Strategic Bitcoin Reserve legislation, introduced in January, passed its Senate committee in February and awaits final approval. Other states pushing for a Bitcoin Reserve include: New Hampshire and Oklahoma, which have advanced state-level proposals.Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, North Dakota, and Ohio, where bills are in early stages. At the federal level, President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order to create a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile. White House AI & Crypto Czar David Sacks stated the reserve would be funded by Bitcoin seized from criminal and civil forfeiture cases.

UTAH SENATE CRYPTO TRANSFORMATION.... #utah #elg #BinanceSmartTrader #escoin The Utah Senate has approved the HB230 bill titled “Blockchain and Digital Innovation Amendments.” The bill aims to legalize activities such as Bitcoin mining, cryptocurrency asset custody, and staking for state citizens, while the provision in the original bill that allowed the state treasury to use 5% of public funds as Bitcoin reserves was removed (Uzmancoin, 2025; Neuron Expert, 2025). Thus, Utah continues to take pioneering steps in the integration of digital assets into the legal framework. This development is in parallel with the increase in legislative initiatives regarding crypto reserves across the United States.
