On February 24, the U.S. state of South Dakota effectively vetoed a bill to invest in Bitcoin. At the Feb. 24 meeting of the state House Commerce and Energy Committee, a majority of members present voted to postpone HB 1202 until the 41st day of the South Dakota legislative session. Because the Legislature does not last longer than 40 days, the motion effectively kills the current version of the bill, which proposes to allow state-level investment in Bitcoin. The proposed bill would amend the classification of South Dakota public funds to include up to 10% of Bitcoin investments.
