Stormy Brews
Black Cloud Brewing in Keene has rolled into town with sharper flavor, louder energy and zero apologies. Each of their brews rotate seasonally and have weather-inspired names, including “Surge” and “Bluebird Day.” They also have a menu of pretzels made from the grains from the brewery, pizzas and salads. blackcloudbrewing.com
Beer of the Brave
Pints with a Mission, a collaboration between Bedford nonprofit Swim with a Mission and Londonderry’s 603 Brewery, helps support the needs of New Hampshire veterans. Mission Forward IPA “is more than a beer — it’s our way of giving back to the men and women who gave so much.” Find it at Common Man Roadside and Tuscan Market locations. SWAM.org

New Hampshire is poised to approve the world’s first Bitcoin-backed municipal bond, valued at $100 million, according to social media reports. The bond is designed as a conduit bond with no taxpayer funds at risk, using over-collateralized Bitcoin held by BitGo Trust to secure the repayment. The bond’s innovative structure and potential implications for crypto-backed public debt have attracted attention, with Moody’s assigning it a provisional Ba2 rating. The bond, conceptualized by Wave Digital Assets in collaboration with Rosemawr Management, awaits final approval from the Governor and Executive Council. The market’s response to this development could influence Bitcoin’s future price expectations.
Key Takeaways
- The announcement suggests a significant step in integrating Bitcoin into traditional financial structures.
- Market participants appear to interpret this development as potentially increasing institutional confidence in Bitcoin.
- The bond’s approval could lead to a moderate increase in the odds of Bitcoin reaching higher price targets.
What to Watch
The final decision from the Governor and Executive Council in New Hampshire will be a key indicator of the bond’s impact. Observers may look for potential shifts in institutional adoption of Bitcoin as a collateral asset. Any further developments or official announcements regarding the bond’s pricing date could influence market expectations related to Bitcoin’s future valuation.
