Oklahoma Introduces Bitcoin Freedom Act for Salary Payments
Oklahoma’s newly proposed Bitcoin Freedom Act establishes a clear framework for state employees and local businesses to opt for payments in Bitcoin. This law is set to take effect in November 2025, allowing salaries to be paid using the popular cryptocurrency voluntarily. The initiative aims to accommodate growing interest in digital currencies while exploring innovative payment solutions within the state. As cryptocurrencies gain wider acceptance, this move by Oklahoma reflects a broader trend of integrating Bitcoin into mainstream financial systems. The legislation is expected to pave the way for more states to consider similar approaches, fostering an environment where digital currencies can flourish.
