Fact Check
The Arizona portion is supported by the official Arizona Legislature page "SB1373 - 571R - H Ver - Arizona Legislature," which shows the bill as a House-engrossed Senate bill for a digital assets strategic reserve fund, consistent with the statement that Arizona moved a reserve proposal through a House vote. Additional Arizona context from "SB1025 - 571R - House Bill Summary - Arizona Legislature" shows related reserve legislation existed, though its specific name is "Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act," not "Strategic Digital Asset Reserve Act." This means the user statement is directionally correct but somewhat imprecise on naming. The Tennessee portion is supported by Tennessee General Assembly search evidence tied to "Bill Information - Tennessee General Assembly" and the snippet for "Senate Sponsor List - Tennessee General Assembly," which states SB2639, the Tennessee Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, was placed on the Senate Finance, Ways, and Means Committee calendar for 4/21/2025. Because the Tennessee bill page could not be directly fetched and the Arizona act name differs from the exact phrasing in the claim, confidence is medium rather than high.
