#ArizonaBTCReserve
Arizona crosses the finish line and approves its bitcoin reserve
The SB 1373 and SB 1025 projects achieved multiple legislative victories until reaching the final vote. Finally, the reserve received the green light.
One of the initiatives focuses solely on BTC, while the other encompasses various cryptocurrencies.
Currently, more than 15 states in the U.S. have introduced bitcoin reserve bills.
In a historic day for bitcoiners, Arizona becomes the first jurisdiction in the U.S. to approve a strategic BTC reserve. The SB 1373 and SB 1025 bills were approved in their third and final reading, and are now ready to be sent to Governor Katie Hobbs.
The SB 1373 initiative, primarily sponsored by Senator Mark Finchem and supported by officials Shawnna Bolick, Brian Fernandez, Jake Hoffman, Venden Leach, and J.D. Mesnard, began its legislative process in February 2025. During that month, it was reviewed by the Senate Finance Committee. The bill, which proposes the creation of a strategic cryptocurrency reserve in Arizona, successfully passed its second reading in early March, and just a few days ago received approval from the House Plenary Committee.
