Indiana Legislature Approves Bitcoin Rights Bill as House Enrolled Act 1042 Awaits Governor

Indiana’s legislature has passed House Enrolled Act 1042, a Bitcoin-focused bill that would safeguard self-custody, node operation, and peer-to-peer transactions while addressing perceived discriminatory taxation of crypto. The measure would also require state pension boards to provide at least one cryptocurrency investment option via a self-directed brokerage structure if it receives the governor’s signature.
