Missouri lawmakers advanced HB2080, a bill to establish a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve that would permit the state to hold bitcoin through donations from residents and state-managed funds [1][2][4].

Under the proposal, the state treasurer could hold and invest in bitcoin on behalf of state funds; the bill also includes a five-year cold storage requirement for holdings and follows a similar measure that failed to pass committee last year [3][2].

HB2080 has been advanced for further review and is scheduled for consideration by the House Commerce Committee as it moves through the legislative process [4].

If enacted, the bill would add Missouri to a growing list of U.S. states that have pursued formal bitcoin reserves or accumulation strategies [1].
