The Federal Election Commission Thursday gave a thumbs-up to bitcoin donations. But don’t expect Wisconsin to follow suit anytime soon.

“I just don’t know at this point,” said Wisconsin Government Accountability Board spokesman Reid Magney when asked whether the GAB would revisit the issue after ruling that the virtual currency isn’t allowed under state law. “It’s premature.”

The FEC unanimously agreed that political action committees can buy and hand out bitcoins, but they have to be converted to U.S. currency before being deposited in campaign account. Addressing concerns that bitcoins make it easy to mask the source of political donations, the commission banned anonymous bitcoin contributions.

The GAB, in snubbing the currency, prompted Assembly candidate Mark Clear to return about $100 worth of bitcoins a couple of weeks ago.
