#ArizonaBTCReserve ArizonaBTCReserveBitcoin Reserve in Arizona: The Beginning of a New Era in Public Asset Management
In an unconventional approach redefining the relationship between governments and cryptocurrencies, the Arizona state legislature has approved a bill known as the "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act", a strategic law allowing the Department of Finance and state pension funds to invest up to 10% of their funds in Bitcoin and other digital assets.
Between idea and execution: a calculated adventure or a risky bet?
It is striking to note that this project, although approved by the legislature, is still awaiting the signature of Governor Katie Hobbs, who has previously expressed her reservations about similar legislation. This shows that the debate is not only about technology but also about the state's economic philosophy: should the government engage in highly volatile assets? Or does Bitcoin represent an opportunity not to be overlooked amidst dollar inflation and a loss of confidence in traditional financial systems?
Why Bitcoin? And why now?
Since its creation, Bitcoin has been described as "digital gold" – a rare asset whose production cannot be manipulated. Supporters of this initiative believe that allocating a portion of the state's reserves to an asset not directly linked to the American economy could protect it from global economic crises or the collapse of the dollar, while providing smart diversification for the state's portfolio.
