New Hampshire has become the first state to allow the investment of its public funds into crypto assets with its governor signing the new law on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The state beat a number of others to the punch this year as what had started as a surge in state lawmaker momentum had run into roadblocks over recent weeks. As the first to authorize its treasurer to set up such a reserve, New Hampshire could very well beat the U.S. government in forming a stockpile, too.<\/p>\n

“New Hampshire is once again first in the Nation,” New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte, a Republican who’s in her first year in office, posted on social media site X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The New Hampshire bill<\/a> allows the investment of up to 5% of public funds in a digital asset that has at least $500 billion in market capitalization, currently leaving bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) as the only qualifying asset.<\/p>\n

State House Republicans there also posted on X<\/a> Tuesday, boasting that their state is “OFFICIALLY the first state to lay the groundwork for a strategic bitcoin reserve.”<\/p>\n

“The Live Free or Die state is leading the way in forging the future of commerce and digital assets,” they wrote.<\/p>\n

Though Arizona had been the first state to get a similar measure to its governor’s desk, that legislation was vetoed<\/a>. Florida has also withdrawn its own effort<\/a>, joining a number of other states<\/a> where the reserve push has fizzled.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump had called for his administration to set up its own bitcoin reserve and a separate crypto stockpile, though the Treasury Department is still examining what the federal government has on hand that can be redirected into those eventual funds.<\/p>\n
