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.
