State of Arizona and Bitcoin Reserve

#ArizonaBTCReserve

In 2025, the state of Arizona began taking tangible 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 the bills have already successfully passed important legislative stages, demonstrating broad political support for this idea.

Who is leading this trend 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 is this trend happening?

These initiatives aim to:

• Diversify the state's financial reserves.

• Keep pace with developments in the financial technology world.

• Benefit from the rising value of Bitcoin as a digital asset.
