North Carolina lawmaker introduces Digital Asset Freedom Act

North Carolina (NC) representative Neal Jackson introduced the North Carolina Digital Asset Freedom Act on April 10. The bill proposes that qualifying "digital assets" be accepted as a legally recognized form of payment and for taxes. Although the language of the bill does not specifically mention Bitcoin ( BTC ), there are several provisions laid out that make BTC uniquely qualified under the bill's definition of a "digital asset." These stipulations include a minimum market capitalization of $750 billion and a daily trading volume of over $10 billion, a market history of 10 years or more, proven censorship resistance, proof-of-work consensus , lack of a central authority, 99.98% or more network uptime, and a maximum supply cap . The bill read: "The General Assembly further finds that decentralized digital assets, which are not governed by any central entity or foundation, align with the economic principles of limited, noninflationary money and are capable of ensuring the security and integrity of transactions." Jackson's bill is merely the latest in state-led Bitcoin strategic reserve legislation in the United States amid inflation concerns, high US federal debt and a depreciating currency.

At the time, Cooper characterized the bill as "premature, vague, and reactionary" to threats that have not yet materialized. In August 2024, the North Carolina House of Representatives overrode Cooper's veto in a definitive and bipartisan 73-41 vote. The North Carolina Senate followed suit by overriding Cooper's veto in a 27-17 vote and passed the anti-CBDC legislation into law in September 2024. North Carolina’s anti-CBDC legislation.

"This bill should have never been vetoed, and Governor Cooper blew an opportunity to send a strong message to the Federal Reserve that NC stands united against CBDCs," Spuller wrote in a Sept. 9 X post .
