The New Hampshire State Senate Revenue Committee has passed the Digital Asset Investment Bill (HB302), a significant step toward Bitcoin adoption. The vote, 4 in favor and 1 against, signifies growing confidence in digital assets. This landmark bill permits the state government to invest up to 5% of its general funds, including revenue stabilization funds, in digital assets like Bitcoin. This allocation demonstrates a forward-thinking approach to managing state finances and potentially diversifying investments. Proponents argue that Bitcoin's decentralized nature and limited supply offer a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. They also believe it could attract blockchain-related businesses and talent to New Hampshire, boosting the state's economy. While still in its early stages, the Digital Asset Investment Bill could set a precedent for other states to consider similar legislation. ```
