Indiana
Bitcoin States
Indiana introduced SB 178 in 2025, proposing to allow the state treasurer to allocate up to 10% of certain state funds into Bitcoin as a strategic reserve. The bill reflects growing bipartisan interest in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value for state treasuries. Indiana has also seen Bitcoin mining expansion due to its relatively affordable industrial electricity rates.
