Wyoming proposes Bitcoin investments for state funds

Wyoming lawmakers have introduced House Bill 0201, which aims to permit up to 3% of state funds to be invested in Bitcoin. The bill would apply to key funds, such as the general fund and the permanent mineral trust fund, marking a potential milestone in public fund management. If approved, the state treasurer could invest directly in Bitcoin ( BTC ) through secure custody solutions, registered custodians, or exchange-traded products. To ensure security, the bill mandates stringent custody protocols, including encrypted private key storage accessible only to the treasurer. Additionally, annual performance reports covering Bitcoin holdings, market valuations, and custody arrangements would be required. This proposal aligns with Wyoming’s broader embrace of blockchain and crypto technologies, reinforcing its reputation as a crypto-friendly state. While other states are exploring similar initiatives, Wyoming could become one of the first to formalize Bitcoin investments for public funds.
