Lawmakers in twenty US states are introducing bills to establish bitcoin reserves, showing increased governmental interest in digital assets.
State-Level Bitcoin Reserve Bills
Several US states are advancing bills advocating for Bitcoin reserves, with potential investments in the billions. According to VanEck's Matthew Sigel, these states could drive $23 billion in combined investments, possibly adding 247,000 BTC to government-held reserves. The states introducing such initiatives include Oklahoma, Massachusetts, Ohio, Texas, Utah, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, and others. Michigan recently introduced House Bill 4087 seeking amendments to allow Bitcoin investments.
Federal and International Bitcoin Investments
The push for state-level Bitcoin reserves aligns with national policies supporting digital assets. President Trump's executive order on January 23 outlines plans to evaluate a national digital asset stockpile. Internationally, sovereign wealth funds are also increasing Bitcoin exposure, with Mubadala Investment Company's major investment in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust.
Trend Toward Increased Bitcoin Reserves
The growing trend of government-backed Bitcoin reserves indicates expanding institutional involvement, with more states expected to introduce digital asset investment legislation.
