summary of Kansas SB 352 (Bitcoin reserve bill):**
- **What it does**:
Creates a state "Bitcoin & digital assets reserve fund" using **only unclaimed/abandoned crypto** (forgotten wallets dormant ~3 years).
No buying Bitcoin with tax money.
- **How the fund grows**:
From staking rewards, airdrops, and interest on those unclaimed assets.
Bitcoin itself is **protected** — can't be sold or moved to the state's regular budget (unlike some other cryptos, where 10% might go to general funds).
- **Other changes**:
Updates Kansas laws to officially define "digital assets" and how to handle them if unclaimed.
- **Status (as of late Jan 2026)**: Intro
duced Jan 22, 2026 by Sen. Craig Bowser. Passed one committee quickly, now under review in the Senate Financial Institutions and Insurance Committee. Not law yet — still needs more votes.
IMPACT ON CRYPTO MARKET
Small but positive step for Bitcoin — treats it like a valuable long-term asset (like gold), adds legitimacy, no big risks or costs. Bullish signal for crypto fans! 🚀
