Economic Matters Committee
Strategic Digital Asset Reserve Act of Maryland
Über dieses Gremium
Maryland House Bill 51, the Strategic Digital Asset Reserve Act of Maryland, would establish a Maryland Digital Asset Reserve Fund administered by the State Treasurer. The fund would allow the state to invest in qualifying cryptocurrency and hold it as a reserve asset.
The fund could receive money seized or forfeited by state authorities in connection with illegal gambling activities, money appropriated through the state budget, investment earnings, and money accepted from other sources. It would be a special, nonlapsing fund, meaning its balance would remain in the fund at the end of each fiscal year rather than returning to the state’s General Fund.
The fund could invest only in decentralized, blockchain-based cryptocurrency secured through cryptographic technology and having a market capitalization of at least $500 billion. The bill does not name a specific cryptocurrency.
Any cryptocurrency purchased by the fund would have to be safeguarded through a secure institutional platform operated by the State Treasurer or through a qualified custodian selected by the Treasurer. Expenditures from the fund would be made through the state budget process.
