Strategic Digital Asset Reserve Act of Maryland

HB 51 establishes Maryland's Digital Asset Reserve Fund, a permanent state fund to invest cryptocurrency using money seized from gambling violations (like illegal bookmaking or betting). The State Treasurer would manage this fund, directing forfeiture proceeds from gambling enforcement into cryptocurrency investments that meet a $500 billion market capitalization minimum. The bill modifies criminal procedure laws to redirect these seized funds to the new reserve instead of the general fund, and adds new rules for managing crypto assets securely. It does not affect general state tax revenue or other funding sources.
