Trump’s recent executive order establishes a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, utilizing about 200,000 BTC seized from criminal activities. This move, according to Matt Hougan of Bitwise, alleviates concerns over governmental restrictions on Bitcoin, enhancing its credibility as a financial asset with the best risk-adjusted returns historically.
The adoption of Bitcoin is gaining momentum across states, with 41 Bitcoin reserve bills proposed in 23 states. Recent legislative actions highlight a shift toward recognizing and protecting Bitcoin, as seen with Kentucky’s new law and Oklahoma’s advancing bill, reflecting a solidified interest in establishing state-level Bitcoin reserves.
