BPI pushes for Bitcoin in 529 college plans as Indiana files HB 1042 on December 4
The Bitcoin Policy Institute is calling for 529 college savings plans to be allowed to hold Bitcoin as a way to confront rising tuition costs, inflation, and limited investment menus. Its modeling suggests that small 1–2% BTC allocations can enhance compound returns and Sharpe ratios without materially increasing risk, according to BPI. In Indiana, House Bill 1042 was filed on December 4 to require publicly managed retirement programs to offer Bitcoin-related investment options.
