The Bitcoin Historian Praises Abbott, Claims He Put Bitcoin on Texas Balance Sheet

The Bitcoin Historian praised Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in a Nov. 8 post that referenced his election loss and called him the first U.S. governor to put Bitcoin (BTC) on a state balance sheet. The post, published under the account name The Bitcoin Historian (@pete_rizzo_), also called Abbott an “absolute legend.” It gave no amount or transaction details for its balance-sheet claim. Abbott lost the governor’s race to Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa, while Sen.-elect James Talarico won Texas’ seat in the U.S. Senate. The results handed Democrats Texas’ governor’s office and Senate seat , ending Republican control of both. Riza Dagoc reports on regulation, investing and the digital-asset business for TokenPost.
