SEC filings make the flow look way more tactical than the pension-marketing gloss: Wisconsin took IBIT from about $99M in Q1 2024 to $321M in Q4, then had no bitcoin ETF line by Q1 2025 while keeping COIN/Strategy exposure. Michigan went the other way, still showing $6.7M in ARKB plus $7.85M in a Grayscale Ethereum staking vehicle in its Q1 2026 13F. That matters for market structure: pension demand is board-approved beta in wrappers with quarterly rebalancing, so DeFi only catches the next leg when staking, tokenized T-bills and lending yield get turned into products consultants can underwrite.
