🔴 Wyoming and Massachusetts are drafting legislation to establish Bitcoin reserves, joining nearly 20% of U.S. states considering similar measures. Wyoming's proposal limits investments to 3% of state funds exclusively in Bitcoin, while Massachusetts’ bill, led by Senator Peter Durant, allows up to 10% of its rainy-day fund in Bitcoin or other digital assets. These initiatives, all introduced by Republicans after Donald Trump’s pro-Bitcoin pivot, reflect the growing interest in Bitcoin as a strategic asset.
