Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas said that: \n\n“Michigan’s Pension bought up some ARKB, which we have valued at $7.4 million. It’s a small percentage for them, but it’s a start. They are now the third pension to report owning a Bitcoin ETF.” \n\nBitcoin makes a splash in state pensions\nEarlier this year, the State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB) reported a significant $164 million investment in Bitcoin through BlackRock’s IBIT ETF and Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).\nAs Cryptopolitan reported yesterday, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop also shared that the city’s pension fund is considering investing in Bitcoin. Fulop said:\n\n“I’ve been a long-time believer (through ups and downs) in crypto but broadly, beyond crypto, I do believe blockchain is amongst the most important new technology innovations since the internet.”\n\nMeanwhile, crypto has become quite popular this election cycle. In Michigan’s 13th Congressional District, the crypto Political Action Committee (PAC) threw its support behind incumbent Shri Thanedar with a $1 million media campaign. \nThe Democratic representative is a crypto advocate and has been rated as “strongly supportive” by the Stand With Crypto initiative. Thanedar has been in the U.S. Congress since 2023 and has supported many pro-crypto legislation.\nHe voted for the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act and backed a resolution to overturn an SEC rule that restricted banks from handling cryptocurrencies.\nIn May, the U.S. Congress passed two pro-crypto bills, a departure from years of political deadlock. This support was unexpected from leading Democrats and it might have been influenced by the rising interest in cryptocurrency among voters. \nBut it came after they approved spot Bitcoin ETFs, and they just approved Ethereum’s spot ETFs this week.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.26.3","shortVersion":"4.26.3","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2454712453"}
