New Hampshire Becomes First US State to Approve Bitcoin Reserve Investment

New Hampshire has made history, becoming the first US state to enact a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve law, following Governor Kelly Ayotte’s signing of House Bill 302. This legislation paves the way for state investments in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and precious metals, granting the treasurer authority to allocate up to 5% of its portfolio to these assets. The decision follows months of debate and advocacy from groups such as the Satoshi Act Fund, which has been instrumental in driving adoption of state-level cryptocurrency legislation.
