Techub News reports that on the 20th of this month, the government made an official response to the question raised by Senator Akira Hamada regarding the "movement to introduce Bitcoin reserves being conducted 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 response indicated that at this stage, there is not a detailed understanding of the movements of countries like the United States, nor is there a detailed understanding of other countries' movements regarding the introduction of Bitcoin reserves. Given the current situation, "the government finds it difficult to express its views." As discussions regarding the inclusion of crypto assets in national reserve strategies progress both domestically and internationally, the Japanese government remains cautious.
