In the grand tapestry of the American landscape, the great state of Arizona has emerged as a veritable Colossus, striding forth in the race for the fabled US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. On a day that shall be etched in the annals of digital history, two noble bills, like twin steeds of progress, galloped through the House of Representatives Commerce Committee vote on the 18th day of March. Behold, for Arizona now boasts not one, not two, but three crypto reserve legislations, each advancing to the next stage with the grace of a ballerina and the stealth of a cat burglar.
On a Tuesday that could have been as mundane as any other, the Arizona House Commerce Committee gathered, a motley crew of legislative soothsayers, to ponder upon the destiny of three Bitcoin-related decrees. And lo, the twin strategic reserve bills, likeSiamese twins joined at the hip of progress, sauntered through the vote, advancing to the next legislative hurdle with the nonchalance of a cucumber in a sauna.
Senate Bill 1025, affectionately dubbed the “Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act,” triumphed with a vote that split the room like a particularly juicy watermelon at a picnic—6 in favor and 4 against. It was a vote that divided the room as effectively as one might separate wheat from chaff, or Republicans from Democrats, for that matter.
Republican Senator Wendy Rogers, a champion of the digital realm, has sponsored legislation that could allow Arizona’s public funds to dip their toes into the cryptocurrency pool, up to a dainty 10% of their assets. Imagine, if you will, the state treasurer or the state retirement system, investing in Bitcoin like a miserly uncle finally treating the family to a round of ice cream on a sweltering summer’s day.
“If the United States Secretary of the Treasury establishes a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the storage of government Bitcoin holdings, a public fund may store the virtual currency holdings of the public fund in a secure segregated account within the strategic Bitcoin reserve,” SB1025 decrees, with the gravity of a Russian novel and the excitement of a child on Christmas morning.
Not to be outdone, Senate Bill 1373, the brainchild of Republican Senator Mark Finchem, also passed with a vote as predictable as the sunrise. This legislation dreams of a Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund, a pot of digital gold at the end of the legislative rainbow, filled with seized cryptocurrencies and legislative funds, all held in the safest of hands or traded with the deftness of a Wall Street whiz kid.
As Utah, once a mighty competitor, dropped out of the race like a exhausted marathon runner, Arizona stepped into the breach, its SBR legislation as advanced as a Tesla in a sea of horse-drawn carriages. With two reserve bills now poised for a final Senate vote, one can almost hear the drumroll of anticipation.
And let us not forget Senate Bill 1062, another gem from Senator Mark Finchem, which aims to redefine legal tender in Arizona to include cryptocurrencies. It’s a move as bold as a pirate captain claiming a new island, and it passed the House Commerce Committee with the same ease as one might swat a fly on a summer’s day.
