New Hampshire Invests in Bitcoin: State Becomes First US Player with Cryptocurrency Reserve Law

In a landmark move that paves the way for other states to follow, New Hampshire became the first in the U.S. to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve within its state treasury. Governor Kelly Ayotte signed the legislation on May 6th, 2025, allowing the state’s treasury to invest up to 5% of its assets into Bitcoin. This groundbreaking decision is being hailed as a national model for incorporating cryptocurrency into public finance, with support from the Satoshi Action Fund, which developed the framework for this innovative policy.
