#ArizonaBTCReserve Arizona Bitcoin Reserve: Key Facts

Legislation Passed, Awaiting Governor's Signature

Arizona lawmakers have approved two bills (SB 1025 and SB 1373) that would allow the state to invest up to 10% of its public funds, including treasury and pension assets, in digital assets such as Bitcoin and NFTs.

These bills also establish a Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund, which will hold both seized crypto assets and future appropriations, with requirements for on-chain auditability and risk management.

Potential Impact

If fully enacted, Arizona could allocate up to $3.14 billion (10% of its $31.4 billion in assets) to digital assets, potentially acquiring around 31,000 BTC.

This move would make Arizona the first U.S. state to formally hold Bitcoin in its treasury and one of the largest institutional holders of Bitcoin among public entities.
