North Carolina’s legislature passed a bill that would create a five-member board of appointees to manage the state’s $127 billion in pension funds (HB 506), and the state’s House passed a measure that would allow that board to invest up to 5% of those funds in cryptocurrencies like bitcoin (HB 92).
