#ArizonaBTCReserve
Will Arizona become the first U.S. state to hold a reserve of Bitcoin?
In a bold move towards a digital financial future, the state of Arizona has launched a legislative initiative known as #ArizonaBTCReserve, aimed at establishing a strategic reserve of Bitcoin as part of the state's assets.
What is the background of the initiative?
In March 2025, Arizona was one of 16 U.S. states that proposed bills to create Bitcoin reserves. Along with states like Oklahoma, Utah, and Texas, it successfully passed its bill through legislative committees, putting it at the forefront of this revolutionary trend.
Who is leading these efforts?
Republican Senator Wendy Rogers is one of the prominent figures pushing for the adoption of digital currencies in Arizona. Since 2022, she has introduced several bills to legalize Bitcoin, make it acceptable for paying public debts, and even exempt it from local taxes.
Why Bitcoin?
Diversifying state assets away from the dollar.
Leveraging seized digital assets in criminal cases.
Enhancing Arizona's position as a future hub for blockchain technology and digital currencies.$BTC
