Missouri

House Bill 2080, introduced by Missouri Rep. Ben Keathley, would create a state 'Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Fund' that would allow the treasurer to acquire and manage bitcoin under set guidelines.

A bill that could soon be enacted into law would let Missourians spend their bitcoin without incurring a capital gains tax.

Committees from both states will soon vote on bills that would provide a variety of protections for Bitcoin mining operations and node runners.

State Rep. Christofanelli said he wants to create greater economic and political freedom in Missouri.

Jayson Stewart, mayor of Cool Valley, Missouri, discusses giving bitcoin to his constituents and why Bitcoin is fundamentally American.
