The Arizona Senate Committee Approves Strategic BTC Reserve Bill Foresight News reported that lawmakers in Arizona, USA, proposed a bill allowing public funds to be invested in BTC and other digital assets. The state Senate Finance Committee approved the bill on January 27 by a vote of 5 to 2. The proposed legislation, initiated by Wendy Rogers and Jeff Weninger, is known as SB1025, the 'Arizona Strategic BTC Reserve Bill', allowing the state to invest up to 10% of public funds (including funds held by the state treasurer and retirement systems) in BTC and other cryptocurrencies.
