The Executive Yuan (Taiwan's Cabinet) and the Central Bank have announced an initiative to study and pilot the inclusion of Bitcoin in their strategic financial reserves.
This move, championed by legislator Dr. Ju-chun Ko, involves initially funding the pilot program with confiscated Bitcoin acquired from legal cases. The proponents view this as a way to diversify Taiwan’s financial reserves, potentially decreasing reliance on the US dollar, and bolstering Bitcoin's recognition as a global reserve asset.
Premier Cho Jung-tai has set a goal to deliver a comprehensive report on the pilot's findings by the end of 2025. Industry figures, like Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3, view this legislative momentum as a significant shift in Asian financial strategy.
