BTC might help or it might blow them up. They can't have 'diamond hands' because they have to continue making fiat payments as they go.
Best case scenario BTC over their time horizon is a +EV bet (but not a sure thing, even if you think long run BTC is a sure thing)
But pension funds aren't hedge funds. They're not supposed to make +EV bets that could fail to pay off (unless they make a lot of small ones which are uncorrelated). In financial engineering terms, BTC functions as a liquidity sink, which makes it highly correlated with other assets.
Thus it is highly irresponsible for a fiat pension fund to invest in Bitcoin.
As I said, I am an unbeliever so I think it is a strongly negative EV bet. But even if I'm wrong about that it's not the sort of thing they should be invested in.
It would only blow them up if supply and demand no longer determined price

It will blow up to the upside which is an excellent thing
Madness.
Of course Bitcoin can go down in price
The downside is real
Nothing insane needs to happen
Just a big dip / crypto winter and then their fiat liabilities force liquidations at a big loss
