The Wyoming Highway Patrol Association is exploring the inclusion of bitcoin in its balance sheet

According to Cryptonews, the Wyoming Highway Workers Union in the United States has announced that it is exploring the inclusion of Bitcoin on its balance sheet. The Wyoming Highway Patrol Association (WHPA) has partnered with Proof of Workforce to launch an initiative called Get Off Zero. The initiative is expected to become the first law enforcement association in the United States to hold Bitcoin on its balance sheet. The "Start From Zero" campaign focuses on cryptocurrency investments, encouraging organizations to allocate a small portion of their portfolios to Bitcoin. WHPA was founded in 1974 to provide support and resources to its patrol officers, dispatchers, port of entry officers, and civilian staff. Through the "Start from Scratch" initiative, members of the organization can learn how the digital asset ecosystem works. Proof of Workforce is a non-profit organization that provides free Bitcoin education to workers, unions, pension funds, and municipalities. Dom Bei, founder of Proof of Workforce, reports that this "could set a precedent for other law enforcement associations in the United States".
