US State of Montana Launches Bitcoin Reserve Bill
According to a recent X post by Dennis Porter, the CEO and co-founder of Satoshi Action Fund, the US state of Montana has introduced a strategic Bitcoin reserve bill. The bill intends to allow investments of up to $50 million in Bitcoin, other digital assets, stablecoins, or precious metals.
Porter revealed that Montana’s Bitcoin bill was introduced by Rep. Gayle Lammers and co-sponsored by Rep. Curtis Schomer. Including Montana, about 15 US states have submitted their BTC proposals. Thus, the community received the update with excitement, and anticipation is building for a potential nationwide rollout of the Bitcoin initiative in the US.

Among them, Arizona and Utah approved the Bitcoin bill, becoming the first two US states to greenlight the BTC bill.
