₿ Florida boldly deploys: plans to use 1% of pension funds to invest in Bitcoin reserves
Recently, the Florida Pension Fund in the United States will usher in a bold move! State officials announced that they plan to use 1% of the pension fund (about $1.857 billion) of member funds to invest in Bitcoin, aiming to diversify the investment portfolio.
This means that part of the retirement pensions of residents in the state will directly enter the field of cryptocurrency, which is no longer a theoretical conception, but a bold action that will be put into practice.
Samuel Armes, head of the Florida Blockchain Business Association, said that the state will launch a "strategic Bitcoin reserve" and they are likely to start building BTC reserves in the first quarter of next year.
Armes also mentioned that Florida House Speaker Danny Perez and Governor Ron DeSantis are both hardcore supporters of Bitcoin. Perez knows the technology well, and DeSantis is one of the most Bitcoin-supporting governors in the United States.
And this is not the first time Florida has invested in digital assets. They have already invested in Bitcoin and crypto-related assets through pension funds, but this time they plan to use 1% of the pension fund to build a Bitcoin reserve to provide diversified investment for retirement savings plans and enter the growing cryptocurrency market.
Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis also encouraged other pension funds to invest in Bitcoin, saying: "Cryptocurrency will not disappear. It will continue to expand, and it would be foolish if we did not take advantage of its opportunities."
Of course, some people are worried about this investment plan, believing that cryptocurrencies are too volatile. But state officials believe that Bitcoin is a "good long-term investment" and a better choice to guard against traditional financial risks.
Conclusion:
Florida's inclusion of cryptocurrencies in pension investment portfolios not only shows recognition of Bitcoin's long-term value, but also reflects the state government's confidence in emerging asset classes.
This move may provide new ideas for pension management in other states and even the world, and also pave the way for the maturity and mainstreaming of the cryptocurrency market.
Although there is a view that Bitcoin still has a large volatility risk, this bold attempt by the state may become a trend in global pension investment in the future.
