Polish presidential candidate Sawomir Mentzen pledges to make Poland a cryptocurrency haven with a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve if elected in 2025. This mirrors global trends such as El Salvadors legal tender and U.S proposal for Bitcoin reserves. Mentzen aims to transform Polands financial system through embracing BTC which soared past $90K in the past week.
Mentzen Promises Cryptocurrency Reforms and Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
Sawomir Mentzen, a Polish presidential candidate, expressed his intentions to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve if elected in 2025. Mentzen, a popular candidate among the libertarian and right-wing voters, explained his vision of transforming Poland into a cryptocurrency haven. He tweeted:
Poland should create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. If I become the President of Poland, our country will become a cryptocurrency haven, with very friendly regulations, low taxes, and a supportive approach from banks and regulators. BTC to the Moon!.
The proposition has emerged amid a growing global interest in digital currencies with cryptocurrency advocates urging governments to support digital currencies. Lech Wilczynski, CEO of Swap.ly cryptocurrency exchange, called on Mentzen to adopt a model policy for Strategic Reserve in the past. Wilczynski also provided the link to the Satoshi Action Fund document, an open source document and noted its importance over cryptocurrency asset laws.
Global Interest in Bitcoin Reserves Gains Traction
El Salvadors president Nayib Bukele led the introduction of Bitcoin by declaring it legal tender in the country in 2021. The country has purchased nearly 6,000 BTC and sent a large amount to a cold wallet kept in a physical vault this year. Bukele has continued to advocate for adoption of BTC despite resistance from citizens and even donated BTC to fund projects in Honduras.
In the United States, Wyomings Senator Cynthia Lummis tabled a Bill in the U.S Senate to establish a BTC reserve as an insurance policy against national debt. The legislation expects to purchase one million BTC within five years. Recently, the President of the United States Donald Trump also backed such policies during the election campaign preparing such initiatives as forming of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserves and appointing pro-cryptocurrency officials to his government.
Regional and International Crypto Movements
Polands potential Bitcoin reserve coincides with other global trends in adoption of cryptocurrencies. In Mexico, Senator Indira Kempis seeks to establish BTC as a legal tender besides another proposal she tabled seeking to have a Central Bank Digital Currency. Additionally, Argentinian President Javier Mile recently called for research on Bitcoins role in dollarizing the national economy without the central bank.
Bhutan has discreetly mined Bitcoin for years and owns about $780 million worth of BTC, according to data from Arkham Intelligence. These trends in adoption of cryptocurrencies highlight the need for nations to include digital assets in their economic models and possibly alter the conventional monetary systems.
