In fact, it is no longer an isolated case for sovereign governments to hold and increase positions in micro-strategy stocks. According to previous reports by CryptoCity, the investment strategy of the Norwegian Government Pension Fund made major adjustments in the first half of the year, reducing the investment position of Web2 technology giants. , and increased allocation to Web3 company stocks such as MicroStrategy, Coinbase, Block and Marathon Digital. This move brought its total Bitcoin holdings in the first half of the year to 2,446, which is equivalent to allowing each citizen of Norway to hold 460,000 satoshis. currency. Now, the Bitcoin holdings of Norwegian citizens have obviously increased.
Interestingly, in a keynote speech at the Asia Blockchain Summit (ABS) last month (8/6), Samson Mow, CEO of Bitcoin technology company JAN3 (also the person who promoted El Salvador to establish Bitcoin as legal tender) Hot Man) mentioned the correlation between Bitcoin and gold reserves. He said that the British government holds 310 tons of gold and 61,245 Bitcoins; proportionally, Taiwan, which has gold reserves of 422 tons, should hold 1.36 times the British Bitcoin reserves, which is at least 83,000 Bitcoins. At the same time, he also humorously displayed a Taiwan flag with 83,000 $BTC written on it, successfully amusing the audience.
However, compared with other governments’ measures to gradually include Bitcoin as reserve assets, our government’s policy towards Bitcoin is relatively conservative. At present, relevant policies only focus on money laundering prevention laws and do not consider Bitcoin as a strategic reserve. Nonetheless, as countries around the world change their attitudes toward Bitcoin, whether Taiwan will make policy adjustments in the future is still worthy of continued attention.
