State Senator Pushes to Lure Bitcoin Miners to Oklahoma


The bill proposes a sales tax exemption for minors that would apply to their utility bills. If approved, Oklahoma would tax crypto mining operations "in a manner similar to historical forms of manufacturing or industrial processing," two industries that once served as the foundation of the state's economy. In fact, Montgomery's bill is an explicit call to "encourage" a local crypto industry to come to Oklahoma "rather than competing states" such as neighboring Texas.
