Florida Halts Bitcoin Investment Bills

According to the Florida Legislature’s website, House Bill 487 and Senate Bill 550 were “indefinitely postponed and withdrawn from consideration” on May 3, just one day after the state’s 2025 legislative session ended.

Both bills, introduced in February, aimed to grant Florida’s chief financial officer the authority to allocate certain public funds into Bitcoin. Had they passed, the legislation would have positioned Florida among a small group of U.S. states considering direct exposure to digital assets at the institutional level.

The indefinite postponement signals that, despite Florida’s reputation for openness to financial innovation, the political appetite for state-backed crypto investments may be cooling — at least for now.
