Utah Senate Passes Bitcoin Bill, Removes BTC Reserve Clause

The Senate of Utah, seen by some observers as being the frontrunner to establish a bitcoin reserve, passed a Bitcoin bill that excluded provision for the state treasurer to invest in the largest cryptocurrency.

The senate’s passing of the bill on March 7 means it now passes to Governor Spencer Gox to be signed into law.
