California Senator endorses Bitcoiner for seat on $500b pension fund board

California State Senator Ben Allen is eyeing further pro-crypto representation with an endorsement of Dom Bei for election to the board of California’s public pension fund. Bei is the founder of Proof of Workforce, a Bitcoin ( BTC ) non-profit focused on promoting BTC adoption via educational initiatives targeting workers, unions and pension funds. He is in the race to join the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, CalPERS, as a board member. Notably, CalPERS is the largest public pension fund in the United States with over $500 billion and serves more than 2 million public retirement system members. CalPERS manages the retirement assets of California’s police department, firefighters and teachers among others. The pension fund also counts over 1.5 million individuals as members of its health program.

Allen could see Bei become the first bitcoin advocate to get elected. “I’ve dedicated over a decade to championing workers and wage-earners. Now, I’m running for CalPERS Board of Trustees to protect our nation’s largest public pension, serving 2M+ participants,” Bei noted in a post on X. The former firefighter previously served on the advisory board of the Santa Monica pension fund. His pro-bitcoin voice has seen him get support from across several players in the industry. According to observers, election to CalPERS will be crucial to the overall push for BTC adoption across pensions and other public sector platforms. With his experience and as a Bitcoin holder, Bei could see the largest pension fund in the U.S. explore and potentially add the flagship digital asset to its holdings. Other than Senator Allen, Bei has received endorsements from more than dozen state legislators. Santa Monica mayor Lana Negrete and California treasurer candidate Tony Vazquez have also talked up his chances. Meanwhile, Anthony Pompliano, founder and chief executive officer of Professional Capital Management, has also added his support. In 2024, several pension and endowment funds disclosed exposure to Bitcoin, with this coming amid the rapid adoption that followed the Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the first spot BTC exchange-traded funds. They include state pension funds and multiple university endowment funds. You might also like: University of Austin bets on Bitcoin with a $5m long-term investment fund
