New Hampshire Rejects a Landmark $100 Million Bitcoin-Backed Bond
- New Hampshire's Executive Council voted 3-2 to block a first-of-its-kind $100 million municipal bond that would have funded a company's bitcoin purchases, backed by bitcoin as collateral.
- It is a setback for efforts to fuse crypto with public finance, even in the first state to embrace a bitcoin reserve, with councilors citing volatility and risk to the state's reputation.
