City of Roswell, NM Sits on $13,000 in BTC as Arkham Tracks It Onchain

The post, framed as a tongue-in-cheek joke tying the city’s famous 1947 UFO incident to its bitcoin reserve, is not a factual claim about extraterrestrial ownership. Arkham made clear through its humor that the holdings belong to the city government.

The post read: “ALIENS ARE BUYING BITCOIN,” referencing Roswell’s storied UFO history before pivoting to the real data point: a small but symbolically significant municipal bitcoin reserve. As of publication, the post had collected roughly 81,000 views, 810 likes, and 149 replies, with comments filled with alien memes and crypto jokes.

Arkham followed up immediately with a direct link to the City of Roswell entity page on its platform, where anyone can monitor the holdings onchain. The explorer flags the wallet under the official “City of Roswell” label, complete with an alien-themed avatar. The dashboard shows a holdings history chart, inflow transactions, and linked bitcoin address tied to the city’s reserve. The data is publicly verifiable.

Roswell accepted an anonymous donation of roughly 0.0305 BTC, worth approximately $2,900 to $3,000 at the time. Additional donations arrived over the following months, pushing the total past $5,000 in value before reaching today’s level of just above $13,000. Mayor Pro Tem Juliana Halvorson signed a ceremonial receipt acknowledging the initial gift, making it an official part of the city’s treasury.

City officials structured the reserve with a defined long-term strategy. bitcoin holdings carry a mandatory ten-year holding period before primary use, treating the asset as a store of value rather than operational funds. Once the reserve reaches a $1 million target, proceeds are earmarked primarily for senior citizens, including water bill subsidies, and for disaster relief or emergency funds. The city council can access up to 21% of holdings every five years for declared disasters, requiring unanimous approval.

Roswell positioned itself as a first mover among U.S. municipalities holding bitcoin as a treasury asset. The move drew attention in bitcoin communities and media as a potential model for other local governments exploring crypto on their balance sheets. The city that inspired Arkham’s meme has carried the weight of UFO mythology for nearly eight decades.

##臭名昭著的罗兹威尔事件的历史

1947 年夏天，牧场主 W.W. “Mac” Brazel 在位于罗兹威尔附近、距离该城西北约 75 英里的 Corona 地产上发现了异常残骸。该材料包括金属棒、箔片、橡胶条以及纸状碎片。罗兹威尔陆军航空基地迅速做出回应，并在 1947 年 7 月 8 日，《罗兹威尔日报记录》刊登了头条，称当局“捕获了一艘飞碟”。

数天之内，军方撤回了该声明，将残骸归因于一个气象气球。数十年后，1994 年一份美国空军报告将这些残骸与 Mogul 计划联系起来——这是一个机密项目，部署高空气球以监测苏联核试验。之后的报道则暗示，来自目击者的所谓“外星尸体”很可能是 20 世纪 50 年代高空实验中使用的人形测试假人。

官方解释并未真正让这段故事平息。1980 年出版的《The Roswell Incident》等书，将该事件编纂为美国最持久的 UFO 未解民间传说之一。关于回收的外星飞船、灰色外星人遗体、政府掩盖以及反向工程技术的说法，几十年来在各类图书、纪录片和电视节目中传播开来。像《X-Files》这样的项目也直接从罗兹威尔神话中汲取灵感，巩固了这座城市在流行文化中的身份。

多种因素让该故事得以延续。军方最初关于飞碟的公告在撤回声明到来之前就引发了立刻的全球关注。冷战时期的氛围使得机密政府项目更容易被重新解读为“秘密”的证据。1947 年初，美国各地也出现了飞碟目击热潮，使得罗兹威尔案从一开始就获得了文化势能。

图片来源：Tripadvisor——新墨西哥州罗兹威尔罗兹威尔选择了有意拥抱这种传说。国际 UFO 博物馆与研究中心于 1992 年开馆，全年吸引游客。自 1996 年起举办的年度罗兹威尔 UFO 音乐节带来游行、服装、讲座，以及每年夏天数千名与会者。城市街道上有外星人形状的路灯、壁画和雕塑。当地的一家麦当劳也建成了飞碟的形状。售卖灰色外星人周边商品的礼品店沿着主街林立。围绕 1947 年事件发展起来的旅游业，已成为当地经济的核心组成部分。

Arkham 的这则迷因正好落在这一传统之上。该平台将刻板印象中的大眼“灰色外星人”的黑白特写照片与网络可视化画面配对，展示链上连接源源不断流向罗兹威尔市的比特币钱包。这个笑点之所以成立，是因为其背后的数据是真实的，并且可以通过 Arkham 的区块链浏览器公开访问。该市持有比特币。任何人都可以核实。

至于其他小城市是否会沿用罗兹威尔的模式，仍有待观察。但这座城市的十年持有授权以及明确的支出规则，赋予了该储备比多数观察者原先预期更多的结构性——尤其是对一座更广为人知的是绿色外星人雕像而非政府财政的城市而言。
