币界网报道：Texas-based Bitcoin mining firm Riot Platforms has launched a new initiative called "Texas Bitcoin Reserve" to promote Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset for the state. The program aims to educate policymakers and the public on Bitcoin's potential as a treasury asset, highlighting its scarcity, decentralization, and inflation-resistant properties. Riot CEO Jason Les emphasized that Bitcoin could serve as a long-term store of value for Texas, similar to gold reserves held by governments. The company plans to collaborate with academic institutions and think tanks to research Bitcoin's role in public finance. This move aligns with Texas' growing prominence in Bitcoin mining, leveraging its deregulated power grid and renewable energy resources. The initiative follows recent legislative efforts in Texas to support cryptocurrency adoption, including bills recognizing digital assets in commercial law.
