New hampshire set to approve world’s first $100 million bitcoin-backed municipal bond
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.

Suspected gunman in Hampton Beach shooting was in U.S. Navy
The suspected gunman in a shooting in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, in the hours after July 4 was an active-duty member of the U.S. Navy, officials said Monday.
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office had previously identified the man who shot a man and woman, then himself, early Sunday morning as 21-year-old Tyshawn Cooper. Cooper died by suicide in a confrontation with police.
Cooper worked on the USS Hampton as an information systems technician (submarines), second class, according to an update from prosecutors and state and local police on Monday. He was living in New Hampshire for the military assignment — the submarine has been at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or chat live at 988lifeline.org. You can also visit SpeakingOfSuicide.com/resources for additional support.
Cooper was not on duty at the time of the shooting, a spokesman for the Navy told NBC10 Boston Monday.
“We are deeply saddened by this event and extend our heartfelt condolences to the victims and their families. The Navy is cooperating fully with the New Hampshire State Police, who are leading the investigation into the circumstances of the shooting,” the statement said.
The USS Hampton, an attack submarine, is named for four cities with the name Hampton, including New Hampshire’s.
The man, 23, and woman, 25, remained hospitalized on Monday, officials said.
The Naval Criminal Investigative Service was reviewing the incident along with state police and prosecutors, according to officials’ update.
Officials haven’t yet said what’s suspected to have led to the shooting, first reported on Ocean Boulevard about 1:19 a.m. Sunday. Officers then encountered Cooper near P Street and Ashworth Avenue, according to the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office. During that interaction, the suspect pulled out a handgun and shot himself in the head. At the same time, an officer fired their weapon.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death was a gunshot wound of head and that the manner of his death was suicide.
Though the officer’s shot was not the cause of death, the Attorney General’s Office will conduct a use of force investigation.
