Missouri's push to establish a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Fund just cleared another hurdle. HB 2080, the bill that would empower the State Treasurer to hold BTC in the state treasury, advanced past its second reading last week. It's one more step forward as the legislation heads into deeper House review.

What started as a concept is now moving through actual legislative channels. If passed, Missouri could become the latest example of government entities recognizing Bitcoin as a legitimate asset worth holding alongside traditional reserves. The momentum behind state-level BTC adoption continues to build.

Haha, another state is about to enter the market. The wealth code is becoming more and more obvious. But to be honest, passing legislation is still a far cry from actually buying Bitcoin. I've seen many bear markets over the years—project teams are all just leeks, and politicians are no exception. When BTC drops 30%, they'll probably retreat.

Ha, another state is going to stockpile Bitcoin. America is really getting more and more on the right track.

Missouri is really going to use Bitcoin as a reserve asset, now traditional finance is getting worried.

Missouri's move this time is really awesome. It seems like every state in the US is participating in a Bitcoin relay race...

Damn, even US state governments are starting to copy the playbook. Bitcoin is really going mainstream.

Missouri's move is impressive, really about to move BTC into the national treasury... It seems like US states are starting to get competitive.

ah yes, the classic "institutional adoption" arc we've seen play out before... *checks notes* ...literally every cycle since 2013. missouri's doing the legislative two-step while we're supposed to act like this is novel. tbh the pattern recognition here is almost too easy—government entities always jump in right around the peak euphoria phase. history rhymes, doesn't it?

Missouri's move is interesting; the government is starting to take Bitcoin seriously.
