Taiwan Premier Vows to Unveil Bitcoin Reserve Plan Before 2025 Ends

Taiwan’s government is preparing its first official assessment of the country’s Bitcoin holdings, opening the door to a potential national BTC reserve by the end of 2025.

Premier Zhuo Rongtai told lawmakers that agencies have been instructed to compile a comprehensive report on all Bitcoin seized in domestic enforcement actions. The report, due before year-end, will also evaluate whether those assets should be sold, held, or reclassified as a strategic reserve.

During a fiscal oversight hearing, legislator Ge Rujun urged the government to keep the confiscated Bitcoin untouched until a decision is made, suggesting that the assets could eventually be folded into a long-term reserve strategy rather than liquidated for cash.

Rongtai confirmed that the report will outline the advantages and risks of turning Bitcoin into a national reserve asset — the first time Taipei has publicly committed to formally studying BTC in this role. Ko Ju-Chun, a member of the Legislative Yuan, called the move a breakthrough and said the government also plans to draft more Bitcoin-friendly regulations over the next six months.

Momentum in Taiwan picked up after March 7, when United States President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the creation of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve built from crypto seized in criminal cases. Industry analysts hailed that plan as a decisive step toward recognizing Bitcoin as a core component of global finance.

Taiwanese lawmakers have pushed for a similar hedge. In May, Ko proposed that up to 5% of Taiwan’s roughly $50 billion foreign reserve could eventually be allocated to Bitcoin, positioning it as protection against global economic and geopolitical shocks. Regulators are also testing crypto custody rules for financial institutions to support wider institutional adoption.
