As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in global financial markets, I have witnessed countless trends come and go. However, the recent surge in interest among sovereign nations to establish Bitcoin strategic reserves is truly unprecedented.
Legislators in Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies have suggested setting aside 5% of the country’s $370 billion national budget, which would amount to approximately $18.5 billion, for a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
The proposed Bitcoin (BTC) bill would limit Brazil’s reserves to approximately $18.5 billion worth of the world’s most valuable cryptocurrency, currently valued at $1.83 trillion.
In simpler terms, for a proposed law to become effective in Brazil, it first needs to be approved by the Chamber of Deputies, which is the lower house of its National Congress. Once approved, the bill moves to the Federal Senate, the upper house. If senators support the proposal, it will then be forwarded to the President for final approval and enactment as a law.
In the past few months, there has been growing interest among governments and legal systems worldwide in setting aside significant amounts of Bitcoin. These reserves are being promoted as a means of financial security and a unifying force for political purposes.

Sovereign Bitcoin rush
Prior to Donald Trump’s re-election in the United States, Samson Mow, CEO of Jan3, suggested that Germany should invest in Bitcoin. In July, when Bitcoin was trading below $54,000, the country liquidated its $3 billion Bitcoin holdings. At the moment of writing, Bitcoin was being traded above $91,000, reaching a high of $99,600 this month. The German government stands to miss out on over $1.5 billion in potential profits due to this decision.
As a crypto investor, I’m excited by the potential developments in the global crypto landscape. Similar to how President Donald Trump aimed to ‘Make America Great Again,’ Merryn Somerset Webb urges the new British administration to ‘Rebuild Britain’ with its $5 billion fund. On the international front, Polish minister and presidential hopeful Sławomir Mentzen has pledged to establish a Bitcoin reserve if elected in 2025, much like Trump’s focus on American assets. This shows the growing recognition of crypto’s role in shaping economic policies worldwide.
President Trump consulted professionals from the cryptocurrency sector for his team responsible for digital asset regulations. The prospect of a “Crypto Leader” and a new White House role dedicated to cryptocurrencies sparked excitement in the market. Moreover, Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis proposed purchasing 4% of Bitcoin’s total supply over five years within the U.S. Senate.
As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed an unrelenting surge of interest in Bitcoin (BTC) that shows no signs of slowing down. From the confiscation of illegal transactions in China to the mining operations in Bhutan, and even proposals for inclusion in reserve assets in the United States and Brazil, it seems that nations worldwide are increasingly recognizing the importance of cryptocurrency like BTC.
