State of Arizona and Bitcoin Reserve
In 2025, the U.S. state of Arizona began taking concrete steps towards adopting Bitcoin as part of its financial strategy, joining 16 other U.S. states that have introduced bills to create a strategic reserve of Bitcoin.
Among these states are: Texas, Oklahoma, and Utah, and some of these bills have already successfully passed important legislative stages, demonstrating broad political support for this idea.
Who is leading this movement in Arizona?
Senator Wendy Rogers has been one of the most prominent supporters of adopting digital currencies in the state. In 2022, she introduced a bill to recognize Bitcoin as legal tender in Arizona, although the proposal faced constitutional objections.
Later, Rogers introduced other bills allowing government agencies to accept payments in digital currencies, with tax exemptions on certain related transactions.
Why this direction?
These initiatives aim to:
• Diversify the state's financial reserves.
• Keep up with developments in the financial technology world.
• Benefit from the rising value of Bitcoin as a digital asset.
