Iowa
Bitcoin States
Iowa introduced legislation in 2025 to allow state pension and treasury funds to be invested in Bitcoin as a long-term reserve asset. The bill positions Iowa among Midwestern states exploring Bitcoin as a financial hedge. Iowa has also seen Bitcoin mining growth driven by its wind energy surplus and favorable electricity infrastructure.
