Taiwan initiates evaluation of a national bitcoin reserve modeled after the US

05.11.2025

Taiwan has announced that it has begun analyzing the prospects of forming a national bitcoin reserve, following the example of the recently established strategic bitcoin fund in the United States. The country's authorities emphasize that such a move could increase economic stability and diversify the state's financial reserves.According to Taiwan's Ministry of Finance, a working group has begun assessing the risks and benefits of investing in digital assets. Against the backdrop of growing global cryptocurrency capitalization - more than $2.5 trillion in November 2025, of which bitcoin accounts for more than 50% - interest in digital reserves is growing among leading economies.

• The U.S. has set up a strategic bitcoin fund in 2025, allocating more than 1% of national reserves to buy the digital asset.
• Taiwan is considering allocating part of its foreign exchange reserves to buy bitcoin to reduce dependence on traditional currencies.

Experts note that the formation of a national crypto reserve could increase Taiwan's investment attractiveness and strengthen its position in the international financial arena. However, officials stress the need for strict regulation and control over such investments to minimize volatility and ensure the safety of state assets.The working group's preliminary report is expected to be submitted to the government by the end of December 2025. A decision on the creation of a national bitcoin reserve will be made taking into account the experts' findings and the current economic situation.
