#ArizonaBTCReserve Arizona is poised to become the first U.S. state to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, following the passage of two significant bills—Senate Bill 1025 and Senate Bill 1373—by the state legislature on April 28, 2025. These bills authorize the state treasurer to invest up to 10% of Arizona’s $31.5 billion in public funds, including treasury and pension assets, into digital assets such as Bitcoin and NFTs.

The legislation also proposes the creation of a Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund, which would manage seized cryptocurrencies and future appropriations. This fund is mandated to maintain on-chain auditability and adhere to standardized risk controls to ensure transparency and mitigate volatility risks.

If fully implemented, Arizona could allocate approximately $3.14 billion into digital assets, potentially acquiring around 31,000 BTC, based on current market prices. This move positions Arizona at the forefront of integrating cryptocurrency into public financial management, potentially influencing similar initiatives in other states.
