#ArizonaBTCReserve

Arizona has taken a historic step toward integrating Bitcoin into state finances by passing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act (SB 1025). The bill, approved by the state legislature, allows the Arizona Treasury and public pension funds to invest up to 10% of their holdings in Bitcoin and other digital assets . If signed into law by Governor Katie Hobbs, Arizona would become the first U.S. state to legally allocate public funds to cryptocurrency . The legislation also permits storing state-held Bitcoin in a federally recognized reserve if established . While proponents argue this diversifies state assets, critics warn of volatility risks . The move reflects growing state-level crypto adoption, with similar bills pending in 18 other states . Governor Hobbs has threatened vetoes over unrelated disputes, leaving the bill's fate uncertain .
