Arizona Bitcoin & Digital Assets Reserve Fund
Bitcoin States
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs signed HB 2749 on May 7, 2025, creating the Arizona Bitcoin and Digital Assets Reserve Fund. The law updates unclaimed property statutes to hold seized and forfeited digital assets in their native form rather than liquidating them, directing staking rewards and airdrops into a reserve fund for assets held three or more years. While narrower than direct treasury investment, it is the third US state to formally establish a Bitcoin reserve mechanism.
