Arizona has taken the lead in the race to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, with two bills passing through the legislature and now awaiting the governor's signature. These bills would allow the state to hold and buy Bitcoin and other digital assets with up to 10% allocation. The hosts dissect the different approaches states are taking, from Texas's expert advisory committee structure to New Hampshire and North Carolina's advancing legislation. With 40 strategic Bitcoin reserve bills filed across the US, and states navigating custody options, yield strategies, and political roadblocks, the Bitcoin state race is heating up!

Notes:

- Arizona passed two SBR bills awaiting governor's signature

- 40 SBR bills filed across US states, 6 are dead

- Texas bill allows up to 1% of general fund for Bitcoin

- Arizona bills allow up to 10% allocation to Bitcoin

- $500B minimum market cap requirement in Texas bill
