According to Coinpost, the Japanese government recently made an official response to a query raised by Senator Satoshi Hamada regarding the latest developments in the dynamics of Bitcoin reserves being promoted by the United States and other countries. This written response was issued in the name of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, clarifying the government's position on the possibility of holding crypto assets as reserves. The reply pointed out that Japan currently has no understanding of the trends regarding Bitcoin reserves from the United States and other countries because these plans are still in the discussion stage, making it 'difficult for the government to express its views.' Furthermore, according to the legal framework for special account operations, 'crypto assets do not fall under the category of foreign exchange,' and the current foreign exchange reserves are aimed at stabilizing foreign currency assets and the foreign currency bond market. The reply emphasized multiple times that the management of special accounts prioritizes ensuring the security and liquidity of foreign exchange reserves. This indicates that the government recognizes the volatility of crypto assets, including Bitcoin, as inconsistent with the current system. Prime Minister Ishiba's official response once again indicates that as discussions on incorporating crypto assets into national reserve strategies progress both domestically and internationally, the Japanese government remains cautious.
