Taiwan is exploring the possibility of creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve.

The Taiwanese government is taking a significant step toward institutionalizing digital assets. According to Bitcoin Magazine, the Prime Minister and the Bank of Taiwan have agreed to explore Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, develop pro-Bitcoin regulations, and launch pilot Bitcoin treasury assets, starting with confiscated Bitcoin “awaiting auction.”

The initiative is led by legislator Dr. Ju-Chun Koh and supported by Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3, a Bitcoin technology company focused on accelerating Bitcoin adoption.

Bitcoin as part of the national reserve

Taiwan could become one of the first countries in Asia to officially integrate Bitcoin into its government reserves. The government is discussing the possibility of including the digital asset in its strategic portfolio as:

• long-term value storage instrument,

• means of reserve diversification,

• an asset independent of international financial systems and geopolitical pressure.

The initiative also includes an analysis of Bitcoin's potential impact on Taiwan's financial stability and international competitiveness.

Pilot treasury assets based on confiscated bitcoin

One of the first practical steps will be the creation of pilot Bitcoin-based state assets , which will be formed from confiscated coins held by the authorities and awaiting auction.

Using already seized assets allows testing the mechanisms for accounting, storage, and auditing of Bitcoin without the need for direct purchases on the market.

Developing pro-Bitcoin regulations

The Prime Minister and the Central Bank agreed on the need to create a regulatory framework that:

• legalizes the use of Bitcoin in the financial infrastructure,

• provides transparent rules for businesses and investors,

• reduces risks for banks and government institutions,

• creates the basis for the further implementation of digital financial products.

The emphasis is expected to be on the principles of open access, security and transparent data management.

Taiwan is a tech hub in Asia, and its potential move to Bitcoin adoption at the national level could send a key signal to banks, corporations, and international partners.

This move strengthens the country's position amid growing global interest in tokenized assets and digital reserves. Furthermore, it could accelerate the development of a competitive Web3 ecosystem and attract new investment in fintech.

Initiatives proposed by the Taiwanese government reflect a strategic approach to Bitcoin as an asset of the future. Pilot treasury programs, regulatory reforms, and the possible inclusion of Bitcoin in government reserves could make Taiwan a leader in the digital economy in the region.

If the project is implemented, it will be one of the most significant steps towards the institutional adoption of Bitcoin at the state level.
