#ArizonaBTCReserve

In a historic step, the state of Arizona became the first U.S. state to pass legislation to create a strategic reserve of Bitcoin. On April 28, 2025, the state legislature approved bills SB1025 and SB1373, allowing the treasury to invest up to 10% of its assets, approximately $3.14 billion, in digital assets such as Bitcoin.

This reserve aims to diversify public assets and protect them from inflation, while enhancing Arizona's status as a hub for financial innovation. The legislation also provides for the establishment of a digital reserve fund to manage seized or allocated digital assets, ensuring transparency by tracking transactions on the blockchain.

Despite legislative support, the bill is still awaiting the signature of Governor Katie, who has previously expressed reservations due to other financial issues. If approved, Arizona will be considered a leader in integrating digital currencies into its public financial strategies.
