Arizona governor vetoes bill to make Bitcoin part of state reserves

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed a bill that would have allowed the state to hold Bitcoin as part of its official reserves, effectively ending efforts to make Arizona the first US state to adopt such a policy. The Digital Assets Strategic Reserve bill, which would have permitted Arizona to invest seized funds into Bitcoin ( BTC ) and create a reserve managed by state officials, was formally struck down on Friday, according to an update on the Arizona State Legislature’s website. “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 wrote in a statement aimed at Warren Petersen, the President of the Arizona Senate. “Arizonans’ retirement funds are not the place for the state to try untested investments like virtual currency,” she added. On April 28, the bill passed a final vote in the state House when 31 members of the Arizona House voted in favor of the bill, with 25 opposing. Hobbs had previously stated she would veto any legislation not tied to a bipartisan agreement on disability funding.

Arizona joins several other states where similar efforts have failed. In recent months, similar proposals in Oklahoma, Montana , South Dakota and Wyoming have stalled or been withdrawn. In contrast, North Carolina’s House passed the Digital Assets Investment Act on April 30, allowing the state treasurer to invest up to 5% of certain funds in approved cryptocurrencies. The bill has now been moved to the state Senate for consideration. The state-level efforts to create Bitcoin reserves come amid a push from US President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers to do the same in the federal government. Trump signed an executive order in March with a proposal for a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” and a “Digital Asset Stockpile.” Magazine: Crypto wanted to overthrow banks, and now it’s becoming them in stablecoin fight
