    Pennsylvania House Passes ‘Bitcoin Rights’ Bill With Bipartisan Support

    October 24, 20243 Mins Read


    The Pennsylvania House of Representatives has made a significant move in the cryptocurrency regulation landscape in the US by passing the ‘Bitcoin Rights’ bill with “overwhelming” bipartisan support. 

    A Landmark Move For Bitcoin Rights

    The bill, officially known as House Bill 2481, received a decisive vote of 176 to 26, with 76 Democrats and all 100 Republicans backing the measure. 

    The bill aims to protect the rights of individuals to self-custody their digital assets, affirm their ability to use Bitcoin for payments, and establish explicit guidelines for the taxation of Bitcoin transactions. 

    After the upcoming election, the bill will advance to the Republican-led Pennsylvania Senate, and if approved, it will be sent to Governor Josh Shapiro for final approval.

    Crafted in collaboration with the Satoshi Action Fund (SAF), an advocacy group focused on promoting Bitcoin legislation, this bill is part of a broader trend across the United States where state legislatures are stepping in to create regulatory frameworks for the crypto industry. 

    The Satoshi Act Fund has successfully influenced similar legislation in 20 other states, with four already enacted into law in Oklahoma, Louisiana, Montana, and Arkansas.

    Dennis Porter Highlights BTC Vote As New Political Force

    In a politically charged election year, cryptocurrency regulation has emerged as a contentious issue, with both Republican and Democratic lawmakers recognizing the need for a balanced approach. 

    Republican state Representative Mike Cabell, the bill’s sponsor and a long-time Bitcoin investor, praised the bipartisan nature of the bill, stating: 

    In such polarizing times, it’s great to see both sides of the aisle come together to further innovation and prioritize security for Pennsylvanians who own and transact with cryptocurrency.

    In addition, the growth of crypto ownership in Pennsylvania reflects the increasing interest in digital assets, with approximately 1.5 million residents—about 12% of the state’s population—holding some form of cryptocurrency. 

    This demographic is becoming increasingly influential, particularly in Pennsylvania, which is viewed as a crucial battleground state in the upcoming presidential election.

    Dennis Porter, founder of the Satoshi Action Fund, noted the strategic importance of the bill, claiming that it could significantly impact the political landscape, elaborating that the Bitcoin vote represents a “new, growing voter bloc actively seeking a political home”. 

    Despite the bill’s success, some opposition remains. The 26 votes against the measure came from members who either lacked a comprehensive understanding of blockchain technology or expressed environmental concerns related to Bitcoin mining, according to FOX. 

    Nevertheless, Representative Mike Cabell remains hopeful about the bill’s prospects in the Senate, emphasizing that a commitment to financial freedom should transcend party lines.
