Every static variable is stored on the heap, regardless of the type: value types and reference types are stored there. Since the lifetime of a static variable is the duration of the application, the garbage collector never disposes them during normal operation.

If they weren't then they would have to be stack based, and then they would not be the same variable in different threads.
