- Despite setbacks in Montana, several U.S. states are still advocating for Bitcoin reserve legislation.
The effort to establish a Bitcoin [BTC] reserve across various U.S. states faces challenges, as seen with Montana’s recent legislative struggle against the backdrop of Donald Trump’s call for a national “strategic Bitcoin reserve.”
The state’s Bill 429 sought to create an investment account for precious metals and digital assets but ultimately did not gain sufficient support in the House.
Even as BTC alone met the bill’s stringent $750 billion market cap requirement, it was rejected by a margin of 41 to 59 due largely to opposition from some Republican legislators during deliberations.
Why did lawmakers turn down the proposal?

A majority of Republicans expressed support (40 votes), while some joined Democrats in opposition (18 votes). span >
