The CFO of Florida highlights the importance of diversifying investments and protecting the state from the overreach of federal government power.

Recent statements by Florida‘s Chief Financial Officer, Jimmy Patronis, reveal that the State currently holds approximately $800 million in investments tied to digital assets. At present, it’s unclear which instruments were used for the investment.

During an interview with CNBC, Patronis emphasized the possibility of a potential increase in investment by the State. During the interview, Patronis also stated that he believes Florida needs protection against excessive power from the federal government.

Pension funds and cryptocurrencies

On October 29, Patronis requested the Florida State Board of Administration, which oversees state pension assets, to explore the possibility of including cryptocurrencies in the investment portfolios of public employee pension funds, such as those for firefighters, teachers, and police officers. The goal is to ensure optimal returns on investments for the benefit of Florida residents.

Patronis emphasized bitcoin’s diversification potential, calling it “digital gold”, to balance the State’s investment portfolio and mitigate volatility risks associated with other asset classes. Additionally, he recommended launching a pilot program focused on digital asset investments under the Florida Growth Fund, which is the State’s investment fund dedicated to innovative and emerging sectors.

According to the CFO, the inclusion of cryptocurrencies could offer potential benefits to consider in developing a long-term strategy to preserve and grow state pension system assets.
