Arizona state governor Katie Hobbs has posted a legal bill that will allow the creation of a Bitcoin reserve. The Grand Canyon State has joined a growing list of other US states where legislative efforts to direct state investment in Bitcoin have proven futile.
The Bitcoin, Crypto an unassuming investment, Governor Hobbs says
In a Executive letter Died May 2, Governor Katie Hobbs of Arizona vetoed State Senate Bill 1025 aimed at allowing the adoption of digital assets as part of the official state reserve.
In particular, SB 1025 allows the Arizona State Treasury to provide 10% of its managed property in Bitcoin and other virtual property. In addition, the bill also suggested the creation of a digital assets strategic reserve fund designed to hold all of the seized crypto properties from criminal and illegal operations.
Noteworthy, the Arizona Senate House, led by Hon. Warren Petersen, approved the bill in an enthusiastic 31-25 vote contest on April 29 in one step to become the first state to establish a Bitcoin reserve after the US Federal Government.
However, the Governor Hobbs aligned with non -paid votes and rejected the provisions of SB 1025 in the presentation for the executive approvement. The former social worker and Senate Minority Leader introduced this decision to Senate President Petersen, citing the credentials of digital assets as an investment.
The Governor of the State of Arizona said:
Today, I have submitted Senate Bill 1025. The Arizona State Retirement System is one of the most powerful in the country because it makes a good and informed investment. Arizonans retirement funds are not the place for the state to test unlucky investments such as virtual currency.
Following this development, Arizona dropped a career for the first US state created a Bitcoin reserve following the push of the Donald Trump administration to establish a friendly environment in the US.
Eleven US states have introduced the law related to the creation of a Bitcoin reserve. States such as New Hampshire, North Carolina have successfully passed House committees. Meanwhile, states such as Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, and are now rejected by their suggested reserve bill.
