Taiwan premier orders Bitcoin reserve assessment, report due end of 2025

Published at 2025-11-13 12:36:42

The Taiwanese premier announced a government-led evaluation into forming a national Bitcoin Reserve composed of seized crypto assets and committed to delivering an assessment report by the end of 2025. Officials framed the proposal as a way to formalize state custody of confiscated coins and cited the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, created by President Trump in March, as a reference model.

If pursued, the reserve could reshape how Taipei handles criminally seized digital assets and add a new layer of fiscal policy tools tied to crypto holdings. Markets may react to any concrete plan or timeline, and legal, accounting and custodial frameworks will be central to implementation. The move signals growing government interest in operationalizing crypto reserves rather than treating seized coins solely as one-off windfalls.
