Kansas lawmakers have introduced a bill to create a state-run Bitcoin and digital asset fund. The plan would hold Bitcoin long-term while using a small portion of other digital assets for the state’s general fund.

Kansas Bill Details
Senate Bill 352 was introduced on January 21, 2026, by Senator Craig Bowser. It proposes the creation of a Bitcoin and Digital Assets Reserve Fund using unclaimed crypto assets.
Under the bill, Bitcoin would stay in the reserve, while 10% of other digital assets would be added to the general fund. The idea is to allow Kansas to benefit from digital assets’ growth while keeping a long-term store of Bitcoin.
Lawmakers say this approach could help strengthen state finances and protect funds from sudden market swings.
Part of a National Trend
Kansas is following a growing trend in U.S. states exploring Bitcoin adoption. In 2021, Wyoming passed a digital asset bank charter. In 2023, Texas offered incentives for Bitcoin mining.
Experts say Kansas’s plan is another example of states taking control of their digital reserves. Holding Bitcoin at the state level could also limit federal oversight, giving states more independence over their funds.
Reactions From the Community
Early responses on X (formerly Twitter) show excitement among Bitcoin supporters. Many are celebrating the idea of “states stacking sats.”
However, experts warn that the plan will require clear rules for custody and security. The fund must also pass through the state legislature before it can become official.
Bitcoin’s Current Value
As of January 24, 2026, Bitcoin trades near $95,000. At this price, long-term state holdings could be very valuable. This helps explain why states are exploring digital asset reserves as part of their financial strategies.
Next Steps for Kansas Bitcoin Fund
If the bill passes, Kansas would join a small but growing list of states experimenting with crypto reserves. The fund could serve as a model for other states considering similar measures.
For now, the bill is under review, and lawmakers, financial experts, and the crypto community will be watching closely. Kansas may soon become the next state stacking Bitcoin, blending tradition with the future of digital finance.
