Oklahoma passes bill protecting ‘fundamental bitcoin rights’

Oklahoma passed a bill earlier this week that protects state residents’ right to self-custody digital assets. 

The bill will go into effect on November 1, 2024. 

OKHB3594 was signed into law by Governor Kevin Stitt. It was sponsored by four Republicans — State Senators Bill Coleman and Dana Prieto and State Representatives Brian Hill and Cody Maynard.

Under the bill, Oklahoma bans restricting or outlawing the use “or the self-custody of digital assets using a self-hosted wallet or a hardware wallet,” a page for the bill said. 

Oklahomans can also mine crypto both at home and industrially, though they have to comply with local noise ordinances.
