The Oklahoma state Senate has approved House Bill 1600, which grants tax exemptions to Bitcoin (BTC) and crypto mining operations. The bill, which now awaits the governor’s signature, was passed by the Senate on May 30 with a vote of 29 to 15, following a successful passage in the House by a 68 to 20 vote.
House Bill 1600 explicitly targets the commercial mining of digital assets, proposing tax-exempt status for selling essential mining machinery and equipment. This includes servers, computers, software, electricity, cabling, and transformers. The bill defines commercial mining as using blockchain technology to mine digital assets at a colocation facility. This legislative effort is part of a broader move to foster a crypto-friendly environment in the state, attracting more digital asset operations.
