#ArizonaBTCReserve

Arizona is poised to become the first U.S. state to establish a Bitcoin reserve, following the passage of two significant bills—SB1025 and SB1373—by the state legislature. These bills authorize the Arizona State Treasurer to invest up to 10% of public funds, including treasury and pension assets, into Bitcoin and other digital assets. Additionally, SB1373 establishes a Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund to hold seized cryptocurrencies and future appropriations, with mandates for on-chain auditability and standardized risk controls . The legislation now awaits the signature of Governor Katie Hobbs. If enacted, Arizona will set a precedent for state-level adoption of digital assets in public finance, potentially influencing other states to explore similar initiatives.
