Taiwan May Add Bitcoin to National Reserves — Lawmakers Push for Full Audit by Year-End
Taiwanese lawmakers urged the government to audit its Bitcoin holdings and consider adding the cryptocurrency to national reserves, with a report due by year-end.Summary
Taiwan's legislature has pressured the government to audit existing Bitcoin holdings and explore adding the cryptocurrency to its national reserves to diversify away from the US dollar. Legislator Ju-Chun Ko highlighted the risk associated with over-reliance on the US dollar, which constitutes over 90% of Taiwan's $602.94 billion in foreign exchange reserves as of September 2025. Ko also called for an inventory of government-held Bitcoin, including assets seized in legal cases, suggesting they be held for strategic use rather than liquidated. Premier Cho Jung-tai committed to having the Central Bank Governor, Yang Chin-long, deliver a detailed report on a Bitcoin reserve strategy by the end of 2025. This move follows global trends, including executive orders and legislation in several US states exploring Bitcoin as a strategic asset.
