New Hampshire authorizes limited public-fund Bitcoin investment

Governor Kelly Ayotte signed HB 302, allowing the state treasurer to invest up to five percent of specified funds in qualifying digital assets and precious metals.

A digital asset had to average more than $500 billion in market capitalization over the prior calendar year, a threshold Bitcoin alone met when the law passed. The law authorized investment but did not require a purchase or confirm that bitcoin had already been acquired.
