Bitcoin Reserve Bills SB1025 and SB1373 have officially cleared Arizona’s State Legislature, moving one step closer to becoming law. With strong support in both chambers, the bills now await only Governor Katie Hobbs’ signature for final approval.
Recently, Governor Hobbs ended her blanket veto stance tied to a funding dispute, raising hopes that the Bitcoin Reserve Bills will soon be signed into law, securing Arizona’s place in crypto innovation.
Early Focus on Bitcoin Reserve Bills
Arizona made Bitcoin Reserve legislation a priority early in the session, with SB1025 advancing further than any other state proposal. Although other states have introduced similar bills, Arizona is now positioned to be the first to turn one into law.
Details of the Bitcoin Reserve Bills
Both SB1025 and SB1373 have passed with strong margins. SB1025 allows Arizona to invest up to 10% of public funds into Bitcoin or other approved digital assets, following a model similar to South Carolina’s bill.
Political Hurdles and Market Impact
While fiscal conservatives have opposed stronger Bitcoin commitments, limiting the scale of proposed purchases, Arizona’s move still marks significant progress. Earlier hopes for massive Bitcoin buying faded under pressure, but even limited state-level investment could boost market sentiment.
Governor’s Signature Is the Final Step
After clearing the third reading, the bills now await Governor Katie Hobbs’ approval. Following her recent end to a legislative veto standoff, there’s growing optimism she will sign the bills into law.
A Win for Bitcoin Amid Global Trends
Although global government Bitcoin reserves are shrinking, Arizona’s legislation could spark new enthusiasm. If signed, Arizona’s actions might increase Bitcoin demand and inspire other states like New Hampshire and Texas to follow suit.
