New Hampshire officially signed HB 302, becoming the first state in the nation to pass legislation for a 'Strategic Bitcoin Reserve' (SBR)

The bill authorizes the state treasurer to purchase Bitcoin or digital assets with a market value exceeding $500 billion, setting a holding limit of 5% of total reserve funds. Reserve assets must be custodialized through U.S. compliant multi-signature mechanisms or exchange products to ensure transparency and security. The bill will take effect 60 days later.
