#ArizonaBTCReserve

Arizona has passed two bills, SB 1025 and SB 1373, positioning it to potentially become the first U.S. state to establish a Bitcoin reserve. SB 1025, the Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, allows the state treasurer and retirement systems to invest up to 10% of public funds in Bitcoin, with provisions for secure storage. SB 1373 creates a Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund, using seized crypto and state appropriations, also limited to 10% investment annually. Both bills, approved on April 29, 2025, await Governor Katie Hobbs’ signature, though her history of vetoes (73/330 in 2024) raises uncertainty.
