Strengthening Sovereignty, Taiwanese Parliament Members Urge Bitcoin to Become a National Reserve Asset
Taiwanese parliament member, Dr. Ko Ju-Chun, officially submitted a research report from the Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) to Prime Minister Cho Jung-tai and Taiwan’s Central Bank (CBC) Governor Yang Chin-long during a formal interpellation session on Wednesday (29/4). This move was taken as a push for the government to begin allocating part of the $602 billion in national foreign exchange reserves into Bitcoin as a strategic national asset.
The report emphasizes that Taiwan’s reliance on U.S. Dollar-denominated assets, reaching 80%, creates significant risks amid geopolitical uncertainty. Bitcoin is considered a solution due to its resistance to seizure and its continued accessibility even if a maritime blockade scenario occurs, unlike physical gold reserves which are difficult to mobilize in emergencies.
In response to the proposal, Dr. Ko also asked Taiwan’s Central Bank to provide an in-depth report on stablecoins and digital asset reserves no later than within the next month. Although Taiwan’s Central Bank had previously rejected the idea at the end of 2025, it is now beginning to show openness to a plan to test a digital asset sandbox using 210 BTC seized to study the mechanism of storing crypto assets at the national level.
