#ArizonaBTCReserve

Arizona is on the verge of becoming the first U.S. state to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. On April 28, 2025, the Arizona House of Representatives passed two significant bills—Senate Bill 1025 (SB1025) and Senate Bill 1373 (SB1373)—which authorize the state to invest up to 10% of its public funds, including treasury and retirement system assets, into Bitcoin and other digital assets .

Key Provisions of the Bills

SB1025: This bill focuses exclusively on Bitcoin, permitting the Arizona Treasury and state retirement systems to allocate up to 10% of their funds into BTC. It also includes provisions for storing these holdings in a secure, segregated account within a federal reserve, should such an entity be established in the future .

SB1373: This legislation establishes a broader Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund, allowing for investments in various digital assets beyond Bitcoin. It also provides mechanisms for the state to manage and potentially lend these assets, aiming to generate returns while maintaining financial stability .

If fully implemented, Arizona could allocate approximately $3.14 billion into digital assets, potentially acquiring around 31,000 BTC .
