Arizona Takes Bold Step: Creates Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

Arizona has made a groundbreaking move by establishing a strategic bitcoin reserve (SBR), becoming the second U.S. state to adopt this innovative approach. This initiative, fueled by unclaimed property funds, signals a significant shift in public policy toward cryptocurrency. The decision signifies Arizona’s commitment to integrating Bitcoin into its financial landscape and showcases how citizens’ abandoned assets can be leveraged for future benefits. 2025 marked the official launch of Arizona’s SBR after Governor Katie Hobbs signed HB 2749.
