The wave started with a campaign promise by now-president Donald Trump in 2024, but it's quickly gained traction at the state level. Dennis Porter, CEO of the Satoshi Action Fund, has revealed that a whopping 16 US states are drafting legislation to establish their own Bitcoin reserves. Leading the charge is Ohio, where State Representative Steve Demetriou has proposed allocating up to 10% of state funds to purchase digital assets like $BTC to safeguard against inflation and economic uncertainties.
Ohio’s plan includes a smart caveat—only digital assets with a $750B+ average market cap over the past year qualify. So for now, it's all about $BTC. While some experts warn about Bitcoin’s volatility, enthusiasts are cheering for the potential $BTC scarcity this could create, possibly paving the way for a price surge.
Meanwhile, the meme coin frenzy isn’t slowing down either. $FLOCK from the Flockerz protocol is set to debut on DEXs in just hours as its presale smashed benchmarks, raising over $14.2M. With a Vote-to-Earn model and DAO for governance, $FLOCK is catering to decentralized values while rewarding community engagement. Investors are calling it the next big meme coin.
As $BTC eyes strategic reserves and $FLOCK readies for launch, market watchers predict the recent crypto downturn might just be the calm before a bullish February storm. If $BTC scarcity and new community-driven tokens are your thing, this could be an exciting time to watch the markets.
