Arizona Establishes State-Managed Bitcoin Reserve Fund
Arizona has cemented its position as a pioneer in digital asset adoption with Governor Katie Hobbs signing House Bill 2749 into law. The legislation creates the Arizona Bitcoin and Digital Assets Reserve Fund, marking only the second such state-level strategic crypto reserve in the U.S.
The fund will convert proceeds from unclaimed financial property into Bitcoin and other top-tier digital assets, explicitly avoiding taxpayer funds. This MOVE signals growing institutional acceptance of cryptocurrencies as viable reserve assets.
