Taiwan Lawmakers Urge Audit, Consider Bitcoin for National Reserves
Lawmakers in Taiwan have formally urged the government to conduct a full audit of its Bitcoin holdings and to consider including BTC in the nation’s strategic reserves. Premier Cho Jung-tai responded to the push, pledging a detailed report on the crypto holdings and the feasibility of reserve diversification by the end of the year. The request frames Bitcoin as a possible tool to reduce dependence on the US dollar rather than an immediate shift in policy.
A full audit would provide transparency on current exposures and valuation methodology and could shape any future decision to add crypto to reserve assets. While no final policy change has been announced, the legislature’s move signals growing institutional interest in digital-asset options for sovereign balance sheets. Markets will likely watch Taipei’s process for indications of how governments might reassess currency risk and reserve composition, with BTC squarely in view.
