From the main stage of Bitcoin 2025, Keith Ammon, legislator from New Hampshire, shook the audience with an announcement that marks a milestone in the state adoption of Bitcoin in the United States.
In a packed and expectant room, Ammon celebrated the recent approval of the first law in the country that allows a state to establish a strategic reserve of Bitcoin. The measure was signed by Governor Kelly Ayotte just a few weeks ago and makes New Hampshire a complete pioneer in the race to integrate BTC into public finances.

Game of states, game of sovereignty
Ammon, with five terms in the legislature, was clear: "We are seeing how the game of game theory unfolds. Today it is New Hampshire, Arizona, and soon Texas that are taking the lead with Bitcoin reserves. But the real game is that of the government, which does not want to cede control."
According to the legislator, this step not only seeks to safeguard value but also to defend the right of states and individuals to choose a free and decentralized form of money.
A direct message: reclaim the ethos of Bitcoin
"We do not want to lose the ethos of Bitcoin," warned Ammon. "We cannot allow large institutions to capture it. It is free money. Freedom for the individual. Freedom for the states."
Ammon's intervention ignited the spark of a latent debate: Can states lead a financial revolution without going through Washington?
What's next? Porcfest, blockchain, and monetary policy
Ammon also took the opportunity to invite the community to Porcfest, the ultimate libertarian festival that will be held in June in New Hampshire, and to visit the site of the New Hampshire Blockchain Council, an entity that promotes crypto adoption in the state.
If you want to see up close how a peaceful revolution with Bitcoin begins, come to New Hampshire. Here it all starts.
