Arizona Moves Toward Establishing a Bitcoin Reserve

Arizona is on the verge of becoming the first U.S. state to hold Bitcoin in its financial reserves. On April 28, 2025, the state's House of Representatives passed two bills—SB1025 and SB1373—that would allow up to 10% of Arizona's $31.5 billion public funds to be invested in digital assets, including Bitcoin

SB1025 focuses on creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, while SB1373 proposes a broader Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund to manage various cryptocurrencies. Both bills emphasize transparency and risk management, requiring on-chain auditability and standardized controls

The legislation now awaits Governor Katie Hobbs' approval. However, its future is uncertain due to an ongoing budget stalemate, with the governor indicating potential vetoes for bills lacking bipartisan funding solutions

If signed into law, Arizona's initiative could set a precedent for other states exploring cryptocurrency integration into public finance
