HB 2080 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates the "Cryptocurrency Strategic Reserve Fund" and allows the state treasurer to receive, invest, and hold digital assets under certain circumstances

HB 2080 creates Missouri's "Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Fund" in the state treasury, allowing the state treasurer to accept, hold, and invest Bitcoin donations from eligible Missouri residents or entities. The fund requires all Bitcoin to be stored securely in cold storage for a mandatory five-year period before conversion or sale, with strict rules prohibiting transactions involving foreign entities or illegal activities. The state treasurer must implement security protocols, conduct regular audits, and publish biennial reports detailing the fund's value, transactions, and security status. This bill directly affects state financial management and Missouri residents who donate Bitcoin, establishing new procedures for handling digital assets within state finances.

MODERATE

The bill was amended to broaden its scope from a Bitcoin-specific reserve to a general 'Cryptocurrency Strategic Reserve Fund' that includes various digital assets like Ethereum and Solana. The changes also update terminology throughout the text to use 'digital assets' instead of 'bitcoin' and add new definitions for technical terms like 'blockchain' and 'staking' to clarify how the fund will operate.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded from exclusively managing Bitcoin to managing a wider range of digital assets, including stablecoins and non-fungible tokens.

SCOPE

The fund name and purpose changed from a 'Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Fund' to a 'Cryptocurrency Strategic Reserve Fund' to accommodate multiple digital assets.

DEFINITION

The definition of 'cryptocurrency' was updated to explicitly list Bitcoin, Solana, Ethereum, Ripple XRP, and USDC, and to include stablecoins and non-fungible tokens.

New definitions were added for 'Blockchain', 'Blockchain protocol', 'Node', 'Stablecoin', and 'Staking' to provide clarity on technical concepts.

The specific definition for 'Cold storage' was modified to apply to 'digital assets' rather than just 'bitcoin', and the definition for 'Donor' was updated to reflect the new asset types.

REQUIREMENT

New rules were added allowing the state treasurer to 'stake' digital assets using a third-party solution, provided the state retains legal ownership.

References to 'bitcoin' were replaced with 'digital assets' throughout the bill to reflect the broader scope of the fund.
