Texas Senate Misunderstanding: The Truth About the XRP Reserve Bill

Recently, rumors circulated online claiming that the Texas Senate had approved an “XRP reserve bill” mandating the state to purchase $100 million in XRP annually. However, these claims are not accurate.

What Actually Happened in the Senate

On September 27, the Texas Senate passed Bill 21, which initiated the creation of the Texas Bitcoin Strategic Reserve. This new legislation allows the state to invest in specific cryptocurrencies, but stipulates that only those with a market capitalization exceeding $500 billion are eligible. As it stands, Bitcoin is the singular cryptocurrency that meets this criterion.

No Reference to XRP in the Legislation

The text of SB 21 does not mention XRP, Ethereum, or any other altcoins. Instead, it focuses exclusively on Bitcoin, highlighting its established role as a store of digital value. The claims that Texas would routinely purchase XRP or create a state-backed XRP reserve are not substantiated by official documents or credible reports.

Background on Crypto Reserves

The conversation around crypto reserves has been ignited by past statements from the Trump administration regarding a U.S. strategic reserve for Bitcoin and a stockpile of altcoins. The proposed Bitcoin Strategic Reserve was intended to consist of Bitcoin previously confiscated by the U.S. government and currently held by the Treasury.

The Role of Treasury and Commerce Secretaries

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnik have been tasked with exploring avenues to augment the Bitcoin reserve without imposing additional costs on taxpayers. This includes potential transfers from other federal agencies to bolster the reserve further.

Understanding the Digital Assets Stockpile

Alongside the Bitcoin reserve, there is a separate initiative for a stockpile of digital assets that would consist solely of altcoins acquired from illicit activities. Notably, this reserve will not expand beyond these acquisitions, setting it apart from the Bitcoin reserves.

Experts Weigh In on the Confusion

The earlier confusion about an XRP reserve was further fueled when Trump referenced various cryptocurrencies, including XRP, Solana, Cardano, Ethereum, and Bitcoin. Experts suggest that this statement might have been a general assessment of leading altcoins by market cap, and it remains uncertain whether the government possesses any of these assets at this time.

The Final Verdict on Texas and XRP

In conclusion, the assertion that Texas has passed an XRP reserve bill is misleading and erroneous. The Texas Senate’s legislation pertains exclusively to a Bitcoin strategic reserve. Any reports suggesting otherwise lack foundation and should be viewed with skepticism.
