Bitcoin is dominating the headlines again, with two landmark developments shaping the future of digital assets. In the U.S., Michigan lawmakers revived House Bill 4087, which would allow the state to allocate up to 10% of its funds into Bitcoin under strict security measures. Across the Atlantic, the London Stock Exchange has listed its first Bitcoin staking exchange-traded product (ETP), offering institutions a regulated path to earn a 1.4% yield on BTC.
Together, these moves signal a new chapter for Bitcoin’s evolution , one where governments and global financial hubs recognize its role as both a reserve asset and a yield-bearing instrument.
At the same time, retail-driven projects like BullZilla ($BZIL) are capturing the imagination of grassroots investors. While states and institutions build long-term frameworks, presales like BullZilla’s provide early adopters with explosive upside opportunities.
Michigan’s Bitcoin Reserve Bill: A State-Level Breakthrough
House Bill 4087 marks Michigan’s most ambitious step yet toward Bitcoin adoption. Sponsored by Reps. Bryan Posthumus and Ron Robinson, the bill authorize the state treasurer to invest up to 10% of Michigan’s general and stabilization funds in cryptocurrency.
After stalling for seven months, the bill advanced to the Government Operations Committee in September 2025. This progress positions Michigan to join Texas, New Hampshire, and Arizona , the only U.S. states that have successfully enacted Bitcoin reserve laws.
Kadan Stadelmann, CTO of Komodo, described the effort as part of a wave of “hyperbitcoinization” across the country. Michigan’s proposal also sets a new bar for security, requiring exclusive control of private keys, regular audits, disaster recovery planning, and penetration testing. These safeguards aim to avoid the shortcomings that derailed similar attempts in states like Florida.
London Stock Exchange Debuts Bitcoin Staking ETP
While Michigan moves toward adopting Bitcoin reserves, the London Stock Exchange is pioneering income strategies for institutions. On September 19, Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, launched the UK’s first Bitcoin staking ETP.
The product, backed by BTC in cold storage secured with multiparty computation (MCP), offers a modest but regulated 1.4% annual yield. The retail access will be available on October 8, 2025, when the UK will lift its ban on crypto ETNs (now limited to professional investors only).
The progress is indicative of increased interest in yielding Bitcoin products, to add to other solutions such as tokenized BTC in DeFi, layer-2 protocols such as Stacks, and centralized lending. Nasdaq shares of DeFi Technologies surged 5% after the announcement and factors into the investor excitement around regulated yield solutions.
Whale Signal Detected: BullZilla Presale Snapshot
Alongside these institutional headlines, retail excitement is fueling BullZilla ($BZIL), a meme-driven project blending lore, staking, and deflationary mechanics. Now in Stage 3 (404: Whale Signal Detected), BullZilla has:

Conclusion
From Michigan’s legislative halls to London’s trading floors, Bitcoin is gaining traction in ways once thought impossible. States are preparing to hold Bitcoin as a treasury reserve, while financial hubs are turning it into a yield-bearing product for global institutions.
Meanwhile, retail investors are pursuing hold such as Bull Zilla where first mover status can be returned exponentially. Collectively, these developments are indicative of a two-sided story: Bitcoin as the foundation of institutional finance, and new tokens as the sandbox of retail ambition. The convergence of these two forces could define crypto’s next era.
