Utah is close to becoming the first US state to adopt a Bitcoin reserve bill, recently passing the Blockchain and Digital Innovation Amendments bill. This allows allocating 5% of specific public funds to purchase Bitcoin and stablecoins.
Arizona is the only other state nearing approval for a similar bill, while New Mexico has also proposed legislation to establish a Bitcoin reserve. Overall, 14 US states are considering measures for local treasuries to invest in cryptocurrency.
