It is a proposed idea, not an existing reality, where Arizona holds Bitcoin as part of its government assets. Supporters argue that this could hedge against inflation, diversify investments, and enhance Arizona's status as a technology leader. However, there are still legal challenges and others related to volatility. While full reserving is complex, Arizona has explored legislation regarding cryptocurrencies. This concept reflects the growing interest in digital assets in state governance discussions nationwide.

Recent update: On April 28, 2025, the Arizona legislature passed bills to establish a Bitcoin reserve and invest up to 10% of public funds in it. These bills are now awaiting the governor's approval. If signed, Arizona will become the first U.S. state to officially hold Bitcoin as part of its treasury.
