While traditional economists clutch their fiat pearls, Taiwan's move could trigger a domino effect across central banks—if they can stomach the volatility.
One thing's certain: Wall Street's 'too risky' narrative just got harder to defend when nation-states start stacking sats.

In brief
- Taiwan is preparing a report to assess the integration of bitcoin into its strategic national reserves.
- Lawmakers are pushing to regulate crypto-assets quickly to capture the global momentum around bitcoin.
The Taiwanese Government Studies a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
Prime Minister Zhuo Rongtai announced the publication of anby Taiwanese judicial authorities by the end of 2025. This initiative aims to analyze the feasibility of a national reserve in BTC. It WOULD be modeled after the one established by the United States last March using cryptocurrencies confiscated in legal cases.
The mission, shared with Central Bank Governor Yang Chin-long, will include an analysis of the advantages and limitations of this approach. It is the first time that Taiwan officially includes. The report could therefore lay the foundation for a profound change in the management of the country’s public assets.
Bitcoin, a Tool for Economic Sovereignty?
Several parliamentarians see this direction as a strategic response to global monetary instability. Representative Ko Ju-Chun suggests, for example, that. Such a decision would strengthen the island’s financial resilience against :
- Geopolitical tensions ;
- the volatility of traditional currencies.
At the same time, parliamentary debates reveal regulatory hurdles. The bill on VIRTUAL asset service providers (VASP) is moving slowly. Regulation of stablecoins, seen as a matter of monetary sovereignty, also remains pending.
Several political voices call forso that Taiwan does not miss the global shift to digital finance.
If Taiwan confirms this direction, it could become the first Asian country to formally integrate bitcoin into its reserve mechanisms. The report expected by the end of 2025 will therefore send a strong signal, far beyond the island’s borders. It could inaugurate a new era in which BTC becomes not only an investment tool but also a geopolitical lever.
