Making Impacts in Bitcoin Policy at the State Level | Bitcoin 2026

"State Bitcoin reserves are a defensive measure against the Federal Reserve." That's how Wyoming policy expert Colin Crossman frames the categorical difference between a state SBR and a federal one at the Bitcoin 2026 Conference. Joined by Dan Hersey of the Rhode Island Blockchain Policy Institute, Dana Criswell of Young Americans for Liberty, and moderator Dom Bei of Proof of Workforce, the panel walks through 40+ states of legislation, the strongest privacy and self-custody bills, and the principled libertarian case for and against state Bitcoin reserves.
