#ArizonaBTCReserve

Arizona is on the verge of becoming the first U.S. state to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve. On April 28, 2025, the Arizona House of Representatives passed two significant bills—SB 1025 and SB 1373—that authorize the state to allocate up to 10% of its $31.5 billion in public funds, including treasury and retirement system assets, into Bitcoin and other digital assets.

Key Highlights:

SB 1025 – Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act: This bill permits the Arizona Treasury and state retirement systems to invest up to 10% of their available funds in Bitcoin. It also includes provisions for securely storing these holdings, potentially within a federal Bitcoin reserve if one is established in the future.

SB 1373 – Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund: This legislation establishes a fund to manage digital assets acquired through state appropriations or law enforcement seizures. It allows for the lending of digital assets to generate returns, provided that such actions do not elevate financial risk.
