The law enters into force after 60 days of signing.

Similar bills have been seen in more than one state, but she stopped in Montana, Wyoumeng, North Dakota and Pennsylvania, and Florida recently withdrew her reserve bills.

At the federal level, the Donald Trump administration ordered the creation of a national bitcoin reserve, but only from the mineral currencies already owned by the government, without any commitment to purchase more.

• Unlike the United States, Europe is not thinking about including Bitcoin in its reserves. The President of the Swiss Central Bank recently said that cryptocurrencies have a lot of fluctuations and insufficient liquidity to maintain the value of foreign currency reserves.
• The President of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, was also skeptical of opportunities for the largest encrypted currency to reach international reserves in Europe. She explained that the Central Bank reserves must be liquid and reliable, and there should be no doubts about money laundering or other criminal activities. “As a result, I am sure that Bitcoin will not be included in the reserves of any of the central banks in the General Council of the European Central Bank,” Lagarde said.
