Missouri has advanced its state bitcoin reserve bill to the House Commerce Committee after similar efforts failed last year.
HB 2080 seeks to create a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Fund and allow the state treasurer to receive, invest, and hold bitcoin.

reserve to the State House Commerce Committee, after similar efforts failed to materialize last yea
House Bill 2080, introduced by Republican Representative Ben Keathley, seeks to create a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Fund within the state treasury and authorize the Missouri State Treasurer to receive, invest, and hold bitcoin under certain conditions.
Specifically, the bill would allow the Treasurer to accept gifts, grants, or donations of bitcoin from eligible Missouri residents or governmental entities and to custody those holdings for at least five years before any sale, transfer, or conversion, according to the bill summary.
The bill would also empower the Treasurer to purchase cryptocurrency using state funds and permit Missouri's government entities to accept approved digital assets for taxes, fees, and other payments. It would also require the Treasurer to prepare a biennial public report detailing fund activity.
The proposed legislation received its first and second readings in January 2026 and was referred to the House Commerce Committee on Feb. 19.
The bill represents Keathley's second attempt at establishing Missouri's bitcoin treasury. His earlier measure, HB 1217, introduced in February 2025, similarly sought to establish a dedicated bitcoin reserve fund with the Treasurer as custodian. That bill received a hearing in the House Special Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs in March 2025 but did not advance, ultimately dying in committee before the session ended.
By advancing a similar bill into a new committee, Missouri lawmakers are again pursuing a state-level bitcoin treasury concept that has gained traction in U.S. policy debates over the past year. The U.S. federal government itself created a national strategic bitcoin reserve in 2025 following President Donald Trump's March executive order.
Multiple other U.S. states are exploring the idea of bitcoin reserves. Lawmakers in Kansas and Florida have advanced similar proposals in the legislature, while Arizona, Texas, and New Hampshire have passed their crypto reserve legislation.

The crypto market has a way of humbling even the most prepared traders — and ZEC’s latest rally is a perfect reminder of that.


I’ve been holding a short position on ZEC futures since $148, expecting a standard pullback after overextension. Instead, the asset ripped past $400, and as of now, it’s hovering around $442, with my liquidation sitting at $600.


It’s a heavy unrealized loss — but more than that, it’s a moment of perspective.



📊 What’s Actually Driving This Move


ZEC’s recovery isn’t a random bounce. Market data shows increasing spot buying pressure and renewed whale accumulation, hinting that large holders are rotating back into privacy coins.


Some analysts also suggest that the broader AI narrative and decentralized identity themes are quietly benefiting ZEC, as traders look beyond hype and toward projects with a real technological edge.


Combine that with thin liquidity conditions and short squeezes, and you get violent upside moves like this — the kind that catch leveraged traders completely off guard.



💭 The Psychological Game


Watching your short position melt while price defies logic isn’t easy. It’s a test of patience, discipline, and emotional control.


The market doesn’t care about your entry or your thesis — it cares about momentum. And right now, ZEC’s momentum is screaming strength.


Sometimes the hardest thing to do is nothing — to wait, reassess, and learn. Every loss tells a story if you’re willing to listen.



🔍 Lessons Learned




Momentum > conviction — when charts flip, pride costs more than liquidation.


Respect volatility — especially in low-float or low-liquidity assets.


Shorting strength is dangerous — timing matters more than being “right.”




In this market, survival isn’t about predicting every move — it’s about managing risk when the move goes against you.
