Investing in Bitcoin Helps States Protect Themselves From Washington's Excess

In May 2025, New Hampshire pioneered legislation permitting the state treasurer to allocate up to 5% of certain state funds into Bitcoin or precious metals.
This legislation addresses concerns about rising national debt over $36.2 trillion and increasing federal interest payments projected to reach $952 billion in 2025.
The law sets strict conditions requiring digital assets to have a market cap above $500 billion, held under secure U.S. Custody, with only Bitcoin qualifying currently.
Lead sponsor Ammon emphasized bipartisan support and stated the law responds to inflation's impact felt in groceries, housing, and the economy, inviting states to secure financial futures.
This move implies states seek to hedge against federal fiscal mismanagement, though some caution about the risks of public funds invested in volatile assets like Bitcoin.
