A hashtag #ArizonaBTCReserve gained prominence in April 2025, when the state of Arizona took a significant step towards the institutional adoption of Bitcoin.
The state legislature approved bills SB1025 and SB1373, authorizing the state treasury to invest up to 10% of public funds — approximately US$ 3.14 billion — in digital assets such as Bitcoin and NFTs.
Additionally, the creation of a Strategic Digital Assets Fund was proposed to manage cryptocurrencies acquired or seized, with on-chain auditing and strict risk controls.
The measure awaits the signature of Governor Katie Hobbs, who had previously conditioned the approval of bills on resolving budgetary issues related to assistance for people with disabilities.
With the recent resolution of this impasse, there is an expectation that the governor will approve the initiative, positioning Arizona as the first U.S. state to incorporate Bitcoin into its public financial strategy.
