Kansas introduces bill to establish Bitcoin and digital assets reserve fund

A Kansas lawmaker has introduced Senate Bill 352 (SB352), which would create a Bitcoin and digital assets reserve funded by staking rewards, airdrops, and interest from unclaimed digital assets held by the state.

The bill, introduced on January 21, 2026, by Senator Craig Bowser, would modernize Kansas’ unclaimed property law to include digital assets and establish a “Bitcoin and Digital Assets Reserve Fund” managed by the state treasurer.

Under the proposal, digital assets would be treated as unclaimed property after three years of no owner activity or communication, at which point custodians such as exchanges or banks would be required to transfer the assets in their native form to the state or a licensed qualified custodian.

The state would be permitted to stake eligible assets while holding them, generating staking rewards, airdrops, and interest, while the original owner retains the right to reclaim the underlying asset at any time.

If the assets remain unclaimed for another three years, all associated staking rewards, airdrops, and interest generated while the state held the asset would automatically flow into the Bitcoin and Digital Assets Reserve Fund, with 10% of non-Bitcoin deposits credited to the general fund and all spending subject to legislative approval.

SB352 builds on earlier Kansas crypto efforts, including tax incentives for blockchain startups. A related bill, SB34, was introduced in January 2025 to allow the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System to invest in Bitcoin ETFs under specific limitations.

The Kansas proposal aligns with similar legislative initiatives in Wyoming and Texas, as well as federal efforts like the BITCOIN Act.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
