I think they started with gold and silver for a couple of reasons.

1) Those movements predated bitcoin.
2) The constitution is explicit about legal tender being gold and silver, so there aren't as many potential roadblocks.

I think these are the first steps towards states completely undermining legal tender laws.

Eventually a state will try this with a small allocation of Bitcoin and it will work so well all the the states will follow.

Texas and Ohio have previously acquired gold. Meanwhile, legislation like HB 348 is under consideration right now in Missouri, Tennessee, Idaho, and West Virginia.
