#ArizonaBTCReserve

Arizona is set to become the first U.S. state to establish a Bitcoin reserve after passing Senate Bills 1025 and 1373. SB1025 allows public funds, including state treasuries and pensions, to invest up to 10% in Bitcoin, with secure storage measures like cold wallets. SB1373 proposes a Digital Assets Reserve Fund managed by the state treasurer, funded by legislative appropriations and seized crypto assets. The treasurer can invest and loan digital assets for returns, without increasing state risk. These bills mark a historic move toward integrating cryptocurrency into state finance and could influence similar efforts across the U.S.
