In a move probably dreamed up during a very long meeting with too much cactus juice, the Arizona House of Representatives is about to vote on a couple of bills—SB1373 and SB1025—which sound more like secret agent codenames than legislative proposals. These bills, authored by Senator Wendy Rogers and Representative Jeff Weninger (who presumably enjoy living on the edge), would allow Arizona to stash some of its state funds in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Because, why not? If this passes, Arizona would officially become the first U.S. state daring enough to flirt with digital gold in its government’s piggy bank.
The plan is to toss up to 10% of the state’s funds into the cryptoverse, because nothing says “stable investment” like a currency that fluctuates more than a caffeinated squirrel on roller skates. Supporters want this to be the shiny example for other states, sort of like when one neighbor tries urban chicken farming and suddenly everyone wants cluckers clogging their backyard.
This brave financial gambit arrives just as Bitcoin limps back onto the stage after a rather dramatic mini-crash. Right now, Bitcoin is trading at a jaw-dropping $93,819.29, waving its digital flag over a market worth about $1.86 trillion. It commands a 63.45% dominance in the crypto realm—which is kind of like being the biggest fish in a rapidly changing digital pond. Sure, it took an 8.80% nosedive over 90 days, but lately it popped back up by about 7.71%. Financial experts like Dennis Porter (who co-founded the Satoshi Act Fund and probably has both hands tied behind his back juggling these numbers) say that if Arizona goes all-in, it will be the unchallenged leader in Bitcoin investments at the state level.
A Coincu study predicts that if Arizona’s Bitcoin love fest pays off, other states might soon follow suit, eager to ride the (hopefully not crash-prone) digital wave. It might be the start of crypto weaving itself into the very fabric of U.S. government finance, or at least turning some bureaucrat’s retirement plan into a wild rollercoaster ride.
Today’s vote might just be the moment Bitcoin scoreboards the official stamp of mainstream finance—or at least gives the Treasury Department a very strange story to tell at parties.
