Before the federal government establishes strategic reserves for digital assets, the surge in profits for US states this year is putting public money into cryptocurrency before it can establish strategic reserves for digital assets after five efforts have flare up.
Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota and North Dakota have not been deprived of the mark of legislative efforts to put public funds in code. Other states, particularly Utah, have made great strides in passing bills that could link financial health to the digital asset market, with the ground changing from time to time.
The US Congress and President Donald Trump have fussed about the public campaign for ideas, which originated from the Bitcoin 2024 stage in Nashville, Tennessee, before Trump won the election and Republicans rose to a majority in Congress. Trump spoke widely in support of the notion that he is more aggressively advocated by MicroStrategy Michael Saylor and more aggressively advocated by Sen. Cynthia Ramis, a Wyoming Republican who directs the Crypto Subcommittee of the Senate Banking Committee.
Many of the states competed to beat the federal government to punch, but in the weeks that marked this trend, the market value of assets has spoken of most efforts – Bitcoin (BTC) – has slipped quite a bit from post-election happiness that spurred enthusiasm.

Around $83,000, priced from Trump’s inauguration, is tied to another famous exchange hack on BYBit, which is reportedly made with more code than the burglars snatched on a single outing before. These set-offs may have further dampened the goodwill of national government enthusiasts.
“That sense of urgency seems to have eased now,” said Johnny Garcia, managing director of the Vechain Foundation, who follows the state’s actions. “In my view, the state has several breathing rooms to evaluate and reflect on how to move forward.”
Montana and North Dakota saw a clear loss when Congress came up with the idea of state-level crypto reserves. Both Congresses voted to reject the bill. Three other states where the initiative has failed have seen their rejection occur at the commission level.
Meanwhile, Utah’s law to allow up to 5% of crypto investments in certain public accounts cleared Senate committees on the way the Capitol and the entire Senate were considered. However, the limited window that most states offer to legislative activities means they are never certain to get that vote.
