#ArizonaBTCReserve

Arizona is poised to become the first U.S. state to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve following the passage of two landmark bills—Senate Bill 1025 and Senate Bill 1373—by the state legislature on April 28, 2025. These bills authorize the state treasurer to invest up to 10% of Arizona’s $31.5 billion in public funds, including treasury and pension assets, into digital assets such as Bitcoin .

SB 1025, known as the "Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act," provides a framework for diversifying public investments by including a limited amount of cryptocurrency, specifically targeting Bitcoin . SB 1373 establishes a Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund to manage seized or purchased crypto assets with full transparency and risk protocols .

The legislation, sponsored by Republican Senator Wendy Rogers, aims to diversify state assets, protect against inflation, and prepare Arizona for a financial future driven by blockchain technology . However, both bills now await the signature of Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, who has previously indicated a willingness to veto legislation over budgetary concerns .

If enacted, Arizona could allocate up to $3.14 billion into digital assets, potentially acquiring approximately 31,000 BTC . This move positions Arizona as a national frontrunner in digital asset adoption, ahead of similar efforts in states like Texas and New Hampshire .
