Oklahoma bill aims to integrate Bitcoin into everyday transactions.
Oklahoma State Senator Dusty Deevers has submitted legislation known as the “Bitcoin (BTC) Freedom Act” (SB325). This move could indicate a significant stride towards integrating digital currencies like Bitcoin into traditional banking systems within the state.
As reported by Bitcoin Magazine, this proposed law gives Oklahoma employees the freedom to receive Bitcoin as payment, while businesses can accept Bitcoin from customers if they so choose. This method emphasizes the importance of individual decision-making and aligns with free-market values, ensuring that all parties involved participate entirely voluntarily.

Given the increasing global focus on decentralized currencies, this progression represents a broader movement towards the acceptance and use of Bitcoin within the U.S.
In recent times, it’s become clear that Donald Trump, who was previously U.S. President, has won an election. This development has added a fresh perspective to discussions about cryptocurrency. Interestingly, Trump’s potential 2024 campaign shows signs of embracing innovative financial technologies. If he indeed becomes the 47th president of the United States, this stance could shape federal-level crypto legislation, potentially accelerating the acceptance and popularity of Bitcoin.
During the 60th session of the Oklahoma state legislature, commencing on Feb 3, 2025, there’s a lot of anticipation about whether Oklahoma will lead the way in offering various payment methods for individuals and businesses in an evolving financial landscape. The rising popularity of Bitcoin, particularly during significant political and economic events, adds another dimension to the growing trend towards cryptocurrency acceptance, as exemplified by Oklahoma’s SB325.
