Bitcoiners blast Arizona governor’s ‘ignorance’ after Bitcoin bill veto

Bitcoiners and United States government officials have criticized Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs’s decision to veto a bill that would have allowed the state to hold Bitcoin as part of its official reserves. “This will age poorly,” Casa co-founder and cypherpunk Jameson Lopp said in a May 3 X post. Bitcoin ( BTC ) entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano said , “Imagine the ignorance of a politician to believe they can make investment decisions.” Call for government officials who understand Bitcoin is “the future” “If she can’t outperform Bitcoin, she must buy it,” Pompliano said. Crypto lawyer Andrew Gordon said , “We need more elected officials who understand that Bitcoin and crypto are the future.” Source: Julian Fahrer Wendy Rogers, who co-sponsored the bill with State Representative Jeff Weninger, also voiced her disappointment. “Politicians don’t understand that Bitcoin doesn’t need Arizona. Arizona needs Bitcoin,” Rogers said . On May 2, Hobbs vetoed the Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, which would have permitted Arizona to invest seized funds into Bitcoin and create a reserve managed by state officials. “Today, I vetoed Senate Bill 1025. The Arizona State Retirement System is one of the strongest in the nation because it makes sound and informed investments,” Hobbs said. Source: Dr. Danish Rogers said she would refile the bill during her next session. Rogers also pointed out that Arizona’s state retirement system already holds stocks of Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR). “Which is basically a leveraged Bitcoin ETF. Arizona’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill will be back. HODL,” Rogers said. The stock price of Strategy rose 32% in April, the most significant monthly gain since November 2024 .

Arizona would have become the first US state to establish a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve if it had passed. Arizona joins several other US states where similar efforts have failed. Similar proposals in Oklahoma, Montana , South Dakota and Wyoming have stalled or been withdrawn recently.
