Texas leads the way with strategic digital asset investments and innovative pension fund strategies. The Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS), the state’s largest public pension fund, has increased its holdings in Strategy (MSTR), the Bitcoin treasury giant. The Texas pension fund has shown prior interest in crypto-related investments, committing $20 million to CoinFund Ventures, a crypto-focused fund, between mid-July and August 2024. Governor Greg Abbott signed the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve law in June 2025. Following this, the state executed its first purchase in November, acquiring $5 million worth of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT).
