Oklahoma Passed In the Senate & House!
Urgent Call: Oklahoma's Bitcoin Bill and Protecting Fundamental Rights
We are thrilled to announce that Oklahoma has passed a landmark bill through both the House and Senate, thanks to the sponsorship of Rep. Brian Hill and Sen. Bill Coleman. This bill is a significant stride towards securing the rights of Bitcoin users, affirming their freedom to buy, sell, trade, mine, self-custody, and run a full node.
A huge shoutout also needs to be given to the Oklahoma Bitcoin Association which is led by Storm Rund. Without their support and work to push this legislation forward it is unlikely this legislation would have been successful. We are proud to work closely with their team.
The importance of this bill cannot be overstated. It aims to protect the core aspects of Bitcoin usage:
Right to buy, sell, and trade Bitcoin
Right to mine Bitcoin
Right to run a full node
Right to self-custody
Rep. Brian Hill's leadership and understanding of Bitcoin's potential mark Oklahoma as a forward-thinking champion in the cryptocurrency realm. This legislation not only tackles the technical nuances of Bitcoin but also bolsters the freedom to interact with this revolutionary technology.
Urgent Call for Support:
The passage of this bill in the Senate and the signing into law by the Governor are imminent, and your support is crucial. This is a pivotal moment for Bitcoin in America, and by rallying together, we can ensure these fundamental rights are solidified.
Mining and Rural Job Growth:
This bill promotes Bitcoin mining, which can bring numerous benefits to Oklahoma’s energy and employment sectors. By capitalizing on the state’s abundant energy resources, we can address issues like intermittency from wind farms and methane emissions from oil wells, fostering investments in local electrical infrastructure and creating jobs in rural communities.
We Need Your Help:
Join us in this movement to champion Bitcoin rights across the country. Every contribution counts and helps us further our mission to make the USA the best place in the world to be a Bitcoiner. We owe our progress to the tireless efforts of organizations like Oklahoma Bitcoin Association and leaders like Storm. If you’re a Bitcoin business in Oklahoma, consider supporting Oklahoma Bitcoin Association to continue this momentum.
Why This Bill Matters:
This bill is about more than Bitcoin; it’s about affirming the American promise that we can manage our wealth and forge a better future. As we face challenges to self-custody, it’s more important than ever to defend this right vigorously.

Support this bill to protect digital freedom in Oklahoma and set a precedent for the nation. Thank you for standing with us as we work to secure a prosperous future in the digital age.
