Three US states established strategic crypto reserves in 2025
In 2025, three US states — New Hampshire, Arizona, and Texas — officially created strategic cryptocurrency reserves. This marks a significant step in recognizing crypto assets as government property and as tools for managing public resources.

New Hampshire allows up to 5% of state funds to be invested in cryptocurrencies, limited to assets with a market capitalization over $500 billion. Arizona set up a special reserve fund to hold confiscated and "unclaimed" Bitcoins. Texas created a strategic crypto reserve authorized to purchase and hold coins indefinitely. Other states, including Massachusetts, Ohio, and Michigan, have introduced related bills but have not yet passed them.
These developments may initiate broader integration of crypto assets in US public financial management and influence global digital currency policies.
