This makes Michigan the 20th U.S. state to propose similar legislation related to crypto reserves. This underscores the growing trend of states exploring digital assets as part of their investment strategies to a crypto reserve bill.<\/p>\n Posthumus is eager for Michigan to follow in Texas\u2019 footsteps, saying the state should lead on crypto policy. His bill would allow Michigan\u2019s treasurer to invest in crypto from both the general fund and economic stabilization fund, with a cap of 10%. However, the bill does not outline which specific cryptocurrencies could be bought for the reserve, leaving room for future flexibility. Another key feature of the bill is the provision for lending out crypto. The bill permits the state to loan out cryptocurrency as long as it doesn\u2019t increase financial risks, allowing the state to generate additional yields.<\/p>\n The proposed bill also includes measures for ensuring the state\u2019s crypto holdings are safely managed. The state would have to store crypto through secure custody solutions or exchange-traded products from registered investment companies. Michigan\u2019s state pension fund already has exposure to Bitcoin<\/a> and Ether through exchange-traded funds. It gives the state a foot in the door to digital assets.<\/p>\n Michigan can and should join Texas in leading on crypto policy by signing into law my bill creating the Michigan Crypto Strategic Reserve. https:\/\/t.co\/x2Yke3uWTn<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Rep. Bryan Posthumus (@posthumus_bryan) February 13, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Posthumus also floated the idea of creating a state-backed stablecoin, which he calls \u201cMichCoin<\/a>\u201c. That would be tied to Michigan\u2019s gold and silver reserves. This concept would further cement the state\u2019s commitment to embracing digital currencies as part of its financial future.<\/p>\n Texas\u2019 \u201cStrategic Bitcoin Reserve\u201d bill is gaining momentum, with a hearing date set for February 18th.
