The resolution encourages the State Treasurer and State Investment Board of North Dakota to consider investing a portion of state funds, including the general fund, budget stabilization fund, and legacy fund, in digital assets and precious metals. It highlights the need for such investments as a strategy to combat inflation, which diminishes the purchasing power of money and poses risks to the state's financial stability and economic security.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of diversifying investments to safeguard the state's financial resources against economic uncertainties and changing market conditions. By advocating for the inclusion of digital assets and precious metals in the state's investment portfolio, the resolution aims to enhance the state's financial resilience and protect its resources for the future. Copies of the resolution will be forwarded to the State Treasurer and members of the State Investment Board for their consideration.
