<h4 data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><strong>House Bill 1203 (<a href="https://legiscan.com/OK/text/HB1203/id/3084003" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HB1203</a>), known as the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill, has just passed the House vote. It secured a strong 77-15 majority.</strong></h4> 
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">If this bill becomes law, Oklahoma could become the first U.S. state to invest part of its public funds in Bitcoin.</p> 
<h5><strong>Oklahoma Eyes Bitcoin Reserve to Hedge Against Inflation</strong></h5> 
<p>HB1203 would allow Oklahoma to allocate up to 10% of its public funds into Bitcoin or other digital assets with a market cap of at least $500 billion. Right now, Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that meets this requirement. Supporters say this could be a game-changer for the state’s financial future.</p> 
<p>With rising concerns over inflation and the weakening dollar, Oklahoma lawmakers are looking for new ways to preserve the state’s wealth. <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin</a> is often called “digital gold” because of its limited supply and decentralized nature. Advocates believe it could act as a hedge against economic downturns.</p>

<p>HB1203 now heads to the Oklahoma Senate for further debate. If it passes there and gets the governor’s approval, Oklahoma will officially join the growing list of governments embracing Bitcoin.</p> 
<h5><strong>More About Bitcoin Reserve</strong></h5> 
<p>Ohio State Rep. <a href="https://x.com/steve4ohiohouse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Steve Demetriou</a> has announced his efforts to bring Bitcoin into the state’s financial strategy.

<p>As more lawmakers explore Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty, Demetriou’s initiative could position Ohio at the forefront of digital asset adoption in state reserves.</p>
