Arizona is pioneering a significant shift in public finance with the advancement of Senate Bill 1025, known as the "Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act." Introduced in December 2024 by Senator Wendy Rogers and Representative Jeff Weninger, the bill permits state-managed funds—including those controlled by the state treasurer and public retirement systems—to invest up to 10% of their holdings in digital currencies like Bitcoin (BTC). This move aims to diversify Arizona's financial assets and provide a hedge against inflation and economic instability. 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. 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.

As of April 29, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at approximately $94,834 USD.
