New Hampshire governor signs crypto reserve bill into law

Kelly Ayotte, the Governor of New Hampshire, signed a bill into law allowing the state’s treasurer to invest in cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC).

In a May 6 notice, Ayotte announced on social media that New Hampshire would be permitted to “invest in cryptocurrency and precious metals” through a bill passed in the state Senate and House of Representatives. House Bill 302, introduced in New Hampshire in January, will allow the state’s treasury to use funds to invest in cryptocurrencies with a market capitalization of more than $500 billion, eliminating many tokens and memecoins.

A similar bill in Arizona passed the state’s House in April but was vetoed by Governor Katie Hobbs on May 2.

This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
