On February 22, the Montana House of Representatives voted against a bill that could include Bitcoin as a state reserve asset. The bill proposes the establishment of a special income account to invest in precious metals, stablecoins, and digital assets with a market value exceeding $750 billion, and currently only Bitcoin meets this standard. The bill has been opposed by multiple Republican lawmakers, who believe that it would allow the State Investment Commission to engage in excessive speculation with taxpayer funds and carry too much risk. Supporters believe that if the bill is not passed, the state government will lose the opportunity to increase funding returns. At present, the bill has been largely shelved, and if it is to be reintroduced in the future, it will need to be resubmitted to the legislative body for review. （Cointelegraph） https://www.
