Kansas lawmakers filed Senate Bill 352 on Jan. 22, 2026, proposing a state-managed strategic reserve for bitcoin and other digital assets.
What the bill would create
The proposal would establish a “bitcoin and digital assets reserve fund” and outlines how the fund could receive and handle proceeds.
The bill text states:
“The fund shall consist of all airdrops, staking rewards, or interest earned as prescribed in K.S.A. 58-3952(f), and amendments thereto.”
It adds that staking rewards may be paid in digital assets, and that spending from the reserve would require appropriations.
Kansas’ earlier digital asset efforts
Kansas has previously considered narrower digital asset initiatives, including tax incentives for blockchain startups and pilot programs for digital payments inside state agencies.
SB 352 is described as the state’s most expansive attempt so far, framing a reserve structure that could hold and manage assets rather than only enabling businesses.
How it compares with other states
The filing comes as other states have pursued their own frameworks.
Wyoming has built out a blockchain-friendly legal structure, while Texas has encouraged bitcoin mining.
