[New Hampshire Signs Blockchain Basic Law, Texas Invests Approximately $5 Million to Establish Bitcoin Reserve] Odaily Planet Daily News: New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte recently signed HB 639, the Blockchain Basic Laws, which provides increased legal protections for digital asset users, developers, miners, validators, and businesses, while safeguarding the rights to use and self-custody digital assets. The bill also authorizes the establishment of specialized case files for blockchain-related disputes. Starting in 2025, New Hampshire law will allow the state treasurer to allocate up to 5% of certain public funds into precious metals and eligible digital assets, with Bitcoin currently being the only asset meeting the market capitalization threshold. Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed SB 21 in June 2025, establishing the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. State legislators allocated $10 million, with Texas subsequently making an initial investment of approximately $5 million through a spot Bitcoin ETF. Wyoming's 2025 proposal to allocate up to 3% of certain state funds into Bitcoin did not pass, but the state continues to advance its specialized banking framework and the Frontier Stable Token. FRNT became publicly available in January 2026 and is described as the first state-issued stablecoin in the United States.
