A bill that incorporates Bitcoin into Oklahoma’s sector has been introduced by Republican lawmaker Dusty Deevers. &nbsp,

The Bitcoin Freedom Act ( SB325 ) seeks to give employees and vendors in the state the option to conduct transactions in Bitcoin, offering an alternative to the inflation-battered U. S. dollar, according to the Senator.

” In a time when prices is eroding the purchasing power of hard-working Loading, Bitcoin provides a unique opportunity to protect profits and purchases”, Deevers said in the statement&nbsp, on Wednesday.

If approved, the construction would secure the use of Cryptocurrency across state firms, private companies, and personal purchases while ensuring compliance with existing regulations.

Deevers framed the act as a step toward fostering innovation, increasing governmental accountability, and driving economic development in the state.

The legislator also criticized Bitcoin’s fragmented nature and set supply as defenses against what he referred to as “reckless spending and money printing” in Washington, D.C.

In a tweet on Wednesday, Deevers wrote,” This small but potentially revolutionary change has the ability to offset the harms suffered by inflation and create Oklahoma a nationwide leader who embraces the future of monetary technology.”

The Senator noted Bitcoin’s fall as a “promising solution for preserving wealth”, tying it to the current political climate. &nbsp,

He remarked,” There is a cause President Trump campaigned heavily as a pro-Bitcoin member and spoke at popular Bitcoin activities.” Bitcoin is undoubtedly a significant component of the economic future because it has already entered the mainstream of our economy.

Trump’s support for Bitcoin and his nomination of pro-crypto advocates like Paul Atkins to guide the SEC ( U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ) have made the President-elect a major advocate for integrating Bitcoin into the U.S. business. At least, according to crypto adherents.

This isn’t Oklahoma’s first venture into crypto. Last May, the state passed the Bitcoin Rights Bill ( HB3594 ), protecting residents ‘ rights to self-custody Bitcoin and use crypto for legal purchases.

The 60th congressional session, which starts on February 3, is expected to examine the Bitcoin Freedom Act.
