Wyoming Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

Current status is PROPOSED (FAILED)

Wyoming proposed HB0201 to allow up to 3% of state funds, such as the Permanent Mineral Trust Fund, to be invested in Bitcoin, aiming to diversify investments. The bill failed committee review in 2025. Wyoming remains a crypto leader, with over 35 crypto-friendly laws and the upcoming WYST stablecoin launch in July 2025.

Using the Permanent Mineral Trust Fund (~$10.4 billion), Wyoming could have potentially purchased approximately 3,052 BTC, assuming a BTC price of $102,182, if HB0201 had been enacted.
