#ArizonaBTCReserve : Pioneering State-Level Crypto Integration

On April 28, 2025, Arizona’s legislature passed Senate Bills 1025 and 1373, positioning the state to become the first in the U.S. to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. These bills authorize the state treasurer to invest up to 10% of Arizona’s $31.5 billion in public funds into digital assets, including Bitcoin.  

Proponents argue that this move could diversify state assets and hedge against inflation. However, the legislation now awaits Governor Katie Hobbs’ approval. Previously, she pledged to veto all bills until a bipartisan budget addressing disability services was passed.  

If signed into law, Arizona would set a precedent for other states considering similar crypto reserve strategies.
