š„šØ FLORIDA SCRAPS STATE BTC RESERVE ā LEGISLATIVE RACE HEATS UP! šØš„
šļø Bill Blowout: Florida just withdrew House Bill 487 and Senate Bill 550, shelving plans for a state-level Bitcoin reserveāboth bills were indefinitely postponed on May 2.
š° Invest Public Funds? These twin bills had aimed to let Florida invest up to 10% of public funds in BTC, mirroring proposals in Wyoming, Pennsylvania & Oklahoma that also stalled.
šŖļø State Exit: With Floridaās exit, they join fellow stalling statesāWyoming, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Montanaāwhile Arizona presses on with SB 1373 and its own reserve ambitions.
š„ Political Push-Pull: The withdrawals came just as budget talks wrapped, underscoring cryptoās legislative hurdles even in pro-crypto territories.
š Industry Take: Analysts warn repeated bill failures could slow state-level adoption, shifting momentum to federal action or more crypto-friendly states.
š Market Ripples: BTC dipped 1.2% in midday trading as Floridaās move underscored regulatory headwinds, but major bull signals remain intact.
š Race to Lead: With Florida bowing out, eyes turn to Arizona (vetoed by its governor but still alive) and Texasāwhich passed its BTC reserve bill earlier this year.
š Federal Backstop: Meanwhile, the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve deadline looms (May 5), with federal agencies outlining how to steward seized BTCāall roads lead to DC.
š Next Steps: Watch for renewed pushes in state legislatures post-summer recessāand whether Florida lawmakers revisit crypto funds later in 2025.
