🚨 U.S. State Is Now HODLing Bitcoin Like a Whale — Illinois Goes Full Crypto!

You read that right. The state of Illinois just filed a bill (HB1844) to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve — and no, this isn’t a drill.

Here’s what’s going down:

⸻

What’s in the Bill? (HB1844)

• Illinois wants to hold BTC as a state treasury asset — just like gold.

• Mandatory 5-year HODL period — no sell-offs, no swaps, no funny business.

• Public can donate Bitcoin — yes, you can send BTC directly to your state!

• Cold storage security — offline, hacker-proof vaults for the people’s coin.

⸻

Why This Is Massive

• If passed, Illinois becomes the first U.S. state with a dedicated BTC treasury.

• This could set off a domino effect — imagine 50 U.S. states competing to stack sats!

• Shows Bitcoin isn’t just for traders — it’s becoming a national asset class.

The Big Question

Will this turn into a new American Bitcoin standard?

Will other states like Texas or Florida follow the trail?

This is how adoption starts. Not with a bang — but with a bill.
