Sen. Dusty Deevers, R-Elgin, has filed SB325, the Bitcoin Freedom Act, a bill that would allow Oklahoma employees to opt to receive payment in Bitcoin and enable vendors to accept Bitcoin payments.

“In a time when inflation is eroding the purchasing power of hard-working Oklahomans, Bitcoin provides a unique opportunity to protect earnings and investments,” Deevers said. “As Bitcoin continues to rise and the value of the dollar continues to be printed away in Washington D.C., Oklahoma must act to protect our people.”
