#ArizonaBTCReserve

ArizonaBTCReserve is a shorthand name for two bills recently passed by the Arizona House and Senate, allowing the state to establish a "strategic Bitcoin reserve fund" and a "digital asset reserve fund" to invest public funds in Bitcoin and other digital assets.

If signed into law, the state could allocate up to 10% of the total $31.5 billion public fund to purchase Bitcoin (equivalent to approximately $3.15 billion, or about 31,000 BTC), helping to diversify the state investment portfolio, combat inflation, and assert its leading position in financial technology innovation.

Currently, both bills are awaiting approval from Governor Katie Hobbs; if successful, Arizona will be the first state in the U.S. to recognize Bitcoin as a government state asset.

Operational Mechanism:

• Investment Ratio: The state may allocate up to 10% (approximately $3.15 billion) of the public fund to purchase Bitcoin and other digital assets.

• Fund Management: Transactions and storage must comply with on-chain audit processes, regular reporting, and apply standardized risk control measures.

• Operations: The state treasury or authorized organizations will carry out purchases, hold, and may sell according to market conditions or predetermined strategies.
