#ArizonaBTCReserve

Arizona is pioneering a significant shift in public finance by advancing legislation to establish a state-managed Bitcoin reserve. On January 27, 2025, the Arizona Senate Finance Committee approved Senate Bill 1025, known as the "Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act," with a 5-2 vote. This bill permits public funds, including those held by the state treasurer and retirement systems, to invest up to 10% of their assets in virtual currencies like Bitcoin (BTC) ([Arizona Senate Passes Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Bill](https://bitcoinnews.com/adoption/arizona-bitcoin-strategic-reserve-passed/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)).

The legislation also allows for the storage of these digital assets in secure, segregated accounts within a potential future federal strategic Bitcoin reserve, should the U.S. Treasury establish one ([SB1025 - 571R - S Ver](https://www.azleg.gov/legtext/57leg/1R/bills/SB1025S.htm?utm_source=chatgpt.com)). Co-sponsored by Senators Wendy Rogers and Jeff Weninger, the bill aims to diversify state assets and provide a hedge against inflation and economic instability.

If enacted, Arizona would become the first U.S. state to formally integrate Bitcoin into its public investment strategy, setting a precedent for other states considering similar measures ([Arizona makes history by approving the first Bitcoin Strategic Reserve in the United States](https://news.bit2me.com/en/arizona-aprueba-reserva-estrategica-de-bitcoin?utm_source=chatgpt.com)).

As of April 29, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at approximately $94,841 USD .
