US State Takes Step Back for Bitcoin! Bitcoin Reserve Bill Shelved! Here Are the Details Florida has indefinitely postponed two bills that would have allowed limited public fund investments in Bitcoin. Florida has indefinitely postponed two bills that would have allowed limited public fund investments in Bitcoin, signaling a retreat from the state’s previous momentum toward crypto adoption. Florida Shelved Bitcoin Reserve Bills, Signaling Setback for State-Level Crypto Investment Initiatives According to the official website of the Florida Legislature, House Bill 487 (HB 487) and Senate Bill 550 (SB 550) were “indefinitely postponed and withdrawn from consideration” on May 3, just one day after the 2025 legislative session ends. HB 487 and SB 550, both introduced in February, aimed to allow the state's Comptroller to invest certain public funds in Bitcoin, making Florida one of the first states to adopt such a policy. The bills have piqued the interest of crypto advocates as they potentially lay the groundwork for state-level Bitcoin reserve strategies. With the bill’s withdrawal, Florida joins a growing number of states struggling to pass digital asset legislation at the state investment level. Florida’s rollback comes amid broader national efforts, with Arizona’s SB 1374 and New Hampshire’s HB 302 making the most progress so far, according to Bitcoin Laws, a nonprofit that tracks crypto legislation in the U.S. The setback also comes after Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed SB 1025 last week, which would have allowed the state's treasurer and pension funds to allocate up to 10% of their assets to cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. While interest in integrating Bitcoin into public finance strategies is growing, legal and regulatory hurdles continue to stall these initiatives across the country. *This is not investment advice.
