#ArizonaBTCReserve refers to a legislative initiative in Arizona aimed at establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the state. ๐๏ธ๐ช
As of March 2025, Arizona is among 16 U.S. states that have introduced legislation to create such reserves, with Arizona's bill successfully passing out of committee. ๐โ
