New Hampshire law makers have successfully passed HB 302, becoming the first State to establish a strategic bitcoin reserve. The bill allows the state treasurer to purchase digital assets with a market cap of over $500 billion, which would only include Bitcoin at current market prices.
New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte states via X, “New Hampshire is once again First in the Nation! Just signed a new law allowing our state to invest in cryptocurrency and precious metals.”

Ayotte, a Republican, shows enthusiam in one of the greatest technological advances in human history, unlike Democrats like Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, who recently vetoed a Bitcoin related bill.
