Overview

A renewed state-level push to formalize Bitcoin exposure is taking shape in South Dakota, where a lawmaker has reintroduced a proposal that would explicitly permit a capped allocation from certain public investment funds. Coverage centers on the bill’s scope (up to 10%) and, in some reports, the operational pathways and custody controls contemplated for holding BTC.
