Bitcoin Reserve Fund will hold staking rewards, airdrops. The state can claim unclaimed crypto after three years.Arizona has made a considerable move towards cryptocurrency legislation, as a new law was passed to regulate unclaimed digital assets. House Bill 2749, signed by Governor Katie Hobbs on May 7, 2025, created a guideline by which such of Arizona will handle abandoned cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.This law brings in the Bitcoin and Digital Assets Reserve Fund; it will oversee revenue from unclaimed digital assets. After New Hampshire’s latest filing, it ranks Arizona second with a Bitcoin-related reserve.New law focuses on unclaimed Crypto Assets.House Bill 2749 enables Arizona to stake own-ship over digital assets left unclaimed for three years. After taking the state control, these assets could be retained in their original form and never liquidated.The same law also allows the state to earn incentives from staking or airdrops related to such assets. These earnings shall be deposited in a newly formed Bitcoin and Digital Assets Reserve Fund under the charge of the State Treasurer.Once passed by the legislature, the bill’s summary indicates that 10% of assets other than Bitcoin would go into the state’s general budget. This way, Arizona would reap the reward of unclaimed digital assets while maintaining a structured management process.With the passage of this Act, the unclaimed property framework in Arizona is brought into the modern era of digital assets. It is concerned with the security and regulation of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin in order to ensure that the nation does not sacrifice any potential value that may be derived from properties that have not been disturbed.Governor Hobbs Approves Crypto-Friendly MeasureBy endorsing HB 2749, Governor Hobbs has shown his support for crypto-friendly policies. Under the law, it does not allow the state to invest directly into cryptocurrencies and undertake trading activities.The focus is instead on the management of digital assets that are now unclaimed. This technique would make it possible to modernize the financial systems in Arizona, which is becoming more prevalent as the use of cryptocurrency reaches new heights.On May 2, 2025, Hobbs used his veto power over another measure, Senate measure 1025, which led to the passing of the law shortly after. It was the intention of that measure to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve by investing the resources of the state in Bitcoin; however, Hobbs, who was concerned about the dangers associated with investments, vetoed this bill.Hobbs’ decision to sign House Bill 2749 represents an approach to cryptocurrencies that is both conservative and forward-thinking. Because of this statute, Arizona is able to stake a claim on abandoned digital assets and make a profit from them without putting state money at risk via direct investments in cryptocurrency.The post Arizona Adopts Crypto Law for Unclaimed Digital Assets appeared first on Live Bitcoin News.
