#ArizonaBTCReserve Arizona might become the first U.S. state to create a special Bitcoin reserve. Lawmakers have approved two new bills (SB1025 and SB1373) that would let the state invest up to 10% of its public money—like money from pensions and savings—into Bitcoin and other digital assets. The main reason is to protect the state's money from losing value due to inflation and to try new ways of investing. These bills now need to be signed by the Governor, Katie Hobbs. At first, she wasn’t fully in support because of other budget issues, but now she may approve them. If she signs them, Arizona will officially start a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve." This would make Arizona the first state in the country to take such a step. It could also encourage other states to think about using digital money like Bitcoin as part of their financial plans in the future. $BTC
