The U.S. state of Michigan has officially declared May 13, 2025, as Digital Asset Awareness Day. The resolution emphasizes the importance of understanding blockchain-based assets to support economic growth, financial inclusion, and technological innovation.
Michigan Embraces Digital Assets with Awareness Day
On this day, Michigan is encouraging citizens, businesses, schools, and public institutions to educate themselves about digital assets and their potential role in the future of the economy.
Lawmakers also called on academic institutions, government agencies, and private companies to take part in awareness efforts. These may include hosting discussion panels, launching educational programs, and promoting knowledge on cryptocurrencies, blockchain infrastructure, and related technologies.
State Representative Jaime Greene, chair of the Michigan committee, has invited top crypto industry experts to the state capital and said: “we have witnessed explosive growth in the digital asset and blockchain industry.” Greene added, “This is an incredibly critical topic, and we are fortunate to be able to hear from some of the most knowledgeable and perceptive authorities on it.”
Michigan is not the first U.S. state to consider cryptocurrencies. According to recent legislative activity across the country, more than 30 states have introduced, explored, or established state-level Bitcoin reserves, treating Bitcoin as a strategic asset similar to gold. Two states have already signed such initiatives into law.
