New Hampshire Becomes First State to Sign Bitcoin Reserve Bill Into Law New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte signed a bill into law Tuesday enabling the state to amass Bitcoin, making it the first in the U.S. Decrypt’s Art, Fashion, and Entertainment Hub. New Hampshire is officially on its way towards establishing a Bitcoin reserve, as Governor Kelly Ayotte signed bill HB 302 into law on Tuesday. "New Hampshire is once again first in the nation!" Ayotte wrote on X . "Just signed a new law allowing our state to invest in cryptocurrency and precious metals." The bill would only currently allow the state to amass one digital asset, Bitcoin, based on its market cap criteria. New Hampshire is the first state to sign such a bill into law, but is among numerous states that have been making a legislative push to establish a Bitcoin and/or cryptocurrency reserve. Some states have already fallen short of that ambition. New Hampshire is once again First in the Nation! Just signed a new law allowing our state to invest in cryptocurrency and precious metals. pic.twitter.com/ua9bawZKbM — Governor Kelly Ayotte (@KellyAyotte) May 6, 2025 President Trump issued an executive order in March establishing a national strategic Bitcoin reserve for the United States, along with a separate digital assets stockpile for other cryptocurrencies.
