Bitcoin Freedom Act in Oklahoma: What You Need to Know

• Oklahoma’s Bitcoin Freedom Act aims to legalize Bitcoin payments for wages and business transactions, enhancing financial autonomy.
• Senator Deevers’ proposal seeks to protect income from inflation by integrating Bitcoin into daily financial operations in Oklahoma.

Oklahoma Senator Dusty Deevers has presented the “Bitcoin Freedom Act” (SB325), a breakthrough piece of legislation that seeks to legitimize Bitcoin payments for labor and business transactions in the state. Emerging on January 8, 2025, this idea is a major first towards including Bitcoin into regular financial life.

Senator Deevers underlined that the measure offers a more consistent substitute for fiat currencies since it is meant to guard citizens’ income and investments from the negative consequences of inflation. The measure aims to let companies accept payments in Bitcoin and workers to get their compensation in the virtual currency.

OKLAHOMA WANTS BTC IN YOUR PAYCHECK

Senator Deevers drops SB325 to make Bitcoin payments legit in Oklahoma; get paid in sats or stack for vendors—this law is about inflation-proofing cash.

The move boosts crypto freedom, blocks D.C.’s fiat games, and ups fiscal clarity.

Voluntary Bitcoin Integration Aims to Promote Fairness and Financial Sovereignty in Oklahoma 

Under the proposed laws, suppliers and staff members could be able to negotiate Bitcoin pay. The value would be based on the market price of Bitcoin at the start of the payment period or at the moment the payment is made, therefore guaranteeing fairness and clarity in transactions.

Participating in this program is totally voluntary, allowing companies and people the liberty to choose to be part of the system free from any pressure.

Review of the measure is scheduled for Oklahoma’s 60th legislative session beginning February 3, 2025. Senator Deevers has shown hope that this project will make Oklahoma a leader in adopting upcoming financial technology.

Furthermore, he attacked centralized digital currencies, including central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), claiming that these tools would cause too much government monitoring and control of human financial transactions.

On the other hand, CNF reported that last December Texas Representative Giovanni Capriglione unveiled a similar project. He submitted Texas House Bill 1598 during an X space event organized by Satoshi Action Fund (SAF), the non-profit advocacy group founded by Dennis Porter.

This measure seeks to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve for Texas, therefore helping to position the state as a leader in US crypto innovation.
