Sweden Eyes Bitcoin for National Reserves
A Swedish Member of Parliament has proposed a groundbreaking idea: adding Bitcoin to the country’s foreign exchange reserves. This comes in response to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s March 7 executive order, which highlighted the strategic role of Bitcoin in national financial systems.
The proposal signals a shift in political attitudes toward digital assets, with policymakers beginning to see Bitcoin not just as a speculative investment, but as a tool for financial resilience and sovereignty.
Inspired by U.S. Bitcoin Momentum
The MP referenced Trump’s executive order as a driving factor. The order emphasized strengthening national competitiveness in digital assets and even hinted at integrating Bitcoin into broader economic planning. Inspired by this stance, the Swedish lawmaker argued that Sweden should not fall behind in the global financial transformation.
Adding Bitcoin to reserves could provide diversification benefits and act as a hedge against inflation or geopolitical currency shifts—especially as central banks worldwide reevaluate the role of fiat and gold.
A Strategic Financial Shift
Although the proposal is still in its early stages, it reflects growing global momentum toward Bitcoin as a state-level asset. Countries like El Salvador have already added BTC to their reserves, and others are watching closely.
If Sweden moves forward, it would become one of the first major economies in Europe to officially consider Bitcoin as part of its foreign exchange strategy. While traditional economists remain cautious, the political will for digital diversification is clearly gaining ground.
