Texas Buys $10M in Bitcoin at $87K Price Point, Marking First-Ever State-Level BTC Reserve
- Texas becomes the first U.S. state to hold Bitcoin in a treasury reserve with a $10M purchase at $87K per coin.
- Bought during a BTC sell-off, helped stabilize prices and signals growing institutional influence on the market.
The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts confirmed that the state has purchased $10 million worth of Bitcoin as the initial allocation for its newly created Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. On his personal X account, Lee Bratcher, President of the Texas Blockchain Council, announced this historic development as the first U.S. state to allocate public funds for Bitcoin. He specifically thanked Kelly Hancock, stating:
Previously, Kelly Hancock implied that the funds were drawn from general revenue balances and did not affect budgeted appropriations for public services. As we previously predicted during its news approval, finally, this marks the first-ever state-level BTC reserve, as Texas becomes the first U.S. state to formally allocate public funds to hold Bitcoin.
Price Implications on BTC Amid Texas’s $10M Purchase
As noted recently, Bitcoin fell from its usual “Uptober” pattern, driven mainly by speculative trading rather than long-term holders. As of now, Bitcoin is trading at $87,197.29, reflecting a 1.34% decrease in the past day and 4.6% in the past week.

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…
