The post Texas Becomes 3rd U.S. States to Pass a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Bill Out of the House and Senate appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The Texas Senate must confirm the House amendment to the SB-21 bill before it can proceed to the governor’s desk. On-chain data shows a supply shock has catalyzed Bitcoin’s bullish sentiment. After the Texas Senate approved the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SB21) bill earlier in March 2025, the House passed it with a final vote of 101 to 42. Texas is now the third state in the country to pass an SBR bill in both the Senate and the House after New Hampshire and Arizona in the recent past. The SB21 bill in Texas has to be vetted again by the Senate after the House amendment changed some statutory provisions regarding the market cap of crypto assets. Notably, the Texas House changed the market cap average of $500 billion from 12 months to 24 months. According to Dennis Porter, the CEO and co-founder of Satoshi Action Fund, there is a 99+ percent chance that the Texas Senate will approve the amendment to SB21. Meanwhile, the SB21 bill will soon be forwarded to the State Governor, Greg Abbott, who will have 20 days to either sign or veto the bill. Technically the Texas bill has to go back to the senate to confirm the amendment which passed in the House. The House amendment changed the market cap average of $500 billion from 12 months to 24 months. I’ve been told the odds of it being approved by the Senate at 99%+. https://t.co/PJsrfGdVbZ — Dennis Porter (@Dennis_Porter_) May 21, 2025 Impact of Texas SBR Bill Approval on Bitcoin Currently, BTC is the only cryptocurrency to meet the set standards by the Texas SB21 bill.
