Recently, there has been a renewed discussion about Bitcoin in Brazil's political circles. A presidential candidate, Santos, publicly stated that Brazil should seriously consider establishing a national-level Bitcoin strategic reserve. This is not just a casual remark; he has officially included this proposal in his campaign platform.

Santos is the founder of the new political party Mission Party and also a co-founder of the right-wing Libertarian Brazil movement. Interestingly, he explicitly expressed his desire to learn from President Bukele of El Salvador—the president who has long adopted Bitcoin as legal tender.

In fact, discussions about Bitcoin reserves in Brazil have been heating up for some time. The Congress even organized a hearing specifically to discuss this issue. It seems that this is no longer a small-scale voice but is increasingly being taken seriously by more people.

Apart from the Bitcoin reserve, Santos also mentioned the role of blockchain in anti-corruption efforts. He believes that blockchain technology can become a tool for anti-corruption in the public sector, making fund flows more transparent. That’s an interesting perspective. In simple terms, it’s about using technological means to constrain power and improve accountability.
