New Hampshire and North Dakota have introduced legislation to establish 'Strategic Bitcoin Reserves,' becoming the fourth and fifth states, respectively, to consider such measures. In New Hampshire, Representative Keith Ammon proposed a bill that would allow the state's Treasury to invest in digital assets, including Bitcoin, as well as precious metals. The bill aims to insulate the state from inflation and aligns with New Hampshire's ethos of 'Live Free or Die.' In North Dakota, the bill, supported by 11 cosponsors, is set for a hearing next week. These initiatives follow similar efforts in Alabama, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Texas, indicating a growing trend among U.S. states to explore Bitcoin as a strategic financial asset.
