Taiwan plans to create a Bitcoin reserve.



The central bank of Taiwan and the Executive Yuan reached an agreement on November 12, 2025. They will initiate a formal study on Bitcoin in national reserves. The pilot project will use Bitcoin seized from criminal cases. The study will examine integration methods and test storage and valuation protocols. Officials confirmed the agreement in a joint statement. This move was made after months of internal discussions. The seized assets will serve as the initial funding pool, with no new purchases required.

Origin of Legislation
Legislator Ke Rujun proposed the bill in May 2025. Bitcoin has the characteristic of decentralization, which can hedge against geopolitical risks. "The decentralized architecture of Bitcoin... makes it an ideal financial hedging tool," Ke Rujun pointed out in the submitted document. The proposal cites precedents from the United States and emphasizes the currency control risks faced by Taiwan. Ke Rujun represents the Kuomintang. His proposal has received bipartisan support. The focus of the discussion is on trade vulnerabilities.

Region First
Currently, there are no Asian countries holding Bitcoin reserves. Taiwan is striving to take the lead. The United States has created a strategic Bitcoin reserve by 2025. El Salvador has been using Bitcoin as a means of payment since 2021. Argentina is studying plans for 2024. Taiwan's move aims to address regional economic dependence. Japan and South Korea are closely monitoring the situation. Singapore is focusing on stablecoins. Taiwan positions itself as a cryptocurrency-friendly hub.
