SB 778, known as the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, establishes the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, a state-managed fund designed to hold Bitcoin as a financial asset. It designates the Texas Comptroller to oversee the reserve, ensuring its security and integrity, with specific protocols such as "cold storage" to protect the Bitcoin from unauthorized access. The reserve will accept Bitcoin donations from public and private sources and may receive appropriations from the state, limited to a small percentage of the general revenue fund. The reserve is intended to bolster the state’s financial resilience and serve as a hedge against economic volatility. A legislative advisory committee is created to provide oversight and recommendations. Provisions are included for transparency, including biennial reporting, and for emergency procedures to liquidate Bitcoin in extraordinary circumstances.
