The required interpretation appears readily available. Arizona wouldn't issue anything, but they'll gladly accept it.

It says states can't make something legal tender. Nothing about acceptance.

Arizona can accept Bitcoin all they like. They cannot make it legal tender in Arizona.

So, they'd have to print it in gold. Still an option at the worth of it currently.

Arizona can a accept taxes in sheep if they want. What they cannot do is require their citizens to accept sheep when they want to be paid in USD. Same deal with Bitcoin.
