Taiwan Eyes Bitcoin as a Strategic Asset With $780M Reserve Proposal
Taiwanese lawmaker proposes national Bitcoin reserve worth $780M—crypto moves closer to state finance
Taiwan may soon join the growing list of nations embracing Bitcoin at a strategic level. According to recent reports, a Taiwanese legislator has proposed creating a Bitcoin reserve fund equivalent to 0.1% of the country’s GDP—roughly $780 million.
This move follows similar initiatives seen in El Salvador, the U.S. federal Bitcoin reserve proposal, and various corporate treasury strategies. The goal? To position Bitcoin as a long-term store of value and a hedge against global financial uncertainty.
The lawmaker behind the proposal argues that diversifying national reserves with Bitcoin could protect Taiwan from inflation, fiat volatility, and geopolitical risks. It also signals confidence in the future of decentralized finance, at a time when many global economies are reevaluating their monetary strategies.
While the plan is still in its early stages, such proposals reflect a growing global trend: Bitcoin is increasingly being viewed not just as a speculative asset, but as a financial safeguard.
