Taiwan Official Proposes Bitcoin As Part Of National Reserve Strategy

Source Newsbtc

A Taiwanese politician urged the government Friday to include Bitcoin in its reserve composition. He made the appeal during the National Conference and amplified the message on X. His purpose is straightforward: incorporate Bitcoin along with gold and foreign currency to assist in protection against shock drops.

Push For Bitcoin In Reserves

In the opinion of Ju‑Chun, Bitcoin is capable of withstanding large fluctuations in the global economy. He informed the conference that introducing even a thin slice of Bitcoin to Taiwan’s asset stack might make the financial system more resilient.

He also appealed to crypto enthusiasts on X, referring them to his speech and asking for feedback. His tone was assertive and straightforward. He explained that this action would not be a substitute for current reserves, but possibly reinforce them.

Meeting With Bitcoin Advocate

According to reports, Ju‑Chun last week had a meeting with Samson Mow, who is the CEO of Jan3, a firm that specializes in extensive Bitcoin adoption. Jan3 released a statement on Thursday emphasizing the imperative for countries to prepare against currency fluctuations through the holding of Bitcoin.

Mow explained to Ju‑Chun that fiat currencies have turned more volatile. Their conversation addressed technical barriers, security requirements and how Taiwan could purchase and hold BTC without risks.

Current Reserve Holdings

Taiwan currently possesses 423 metric tons of gold and some $577 billion in foreign exchange assets. Ju-Chun noted that the New Taiwan Dollar has fluctuated wildly at times. He attributed higher global prices and regional tensions in East Asia as the cause.

He contended that for over 15 years, Bitcoin has demonstrated it can defy external pressure and remain accessible when other assets collapse. That, he added, is worth a place in the national locker.

Taiwan could follow suit! We could allocate a maximum of 5% of our $USD 50 billion reserve to $BTC. https://t.co/HmOTkf9gqy

Proposal To Allocate 5%

Ju-Chun proposed that Taiwan invest up to 5% of a $50 billion reserve in Bitcoin. That is approximately $2.5 billion. He mentioned that New Hampshire recently approved the same action, and referenced US President Donald Trump’s directive to create a US Bitcoin reserve. He also mentioned that some large economies, such as the UK and Japan, are still waiting on the sidelines. He indicated that Taiwan can lead Asia if it acts now.

Some experts caution that Bitcoin can rise or fall 10 to 20 % in a week. Others are concerned about the legal steps required to hold a digital asset at the state level. Ju‑Chun said these issues can be contained. He called on lawmakers to examine how central banks could buy, hold and insure Bitcoin. He also requested clear rules to ensure any losses do not spill over into the broader economy.

Bitcoin lost its 200-day average — but the exit started three sessions before the CPI Bitcoin fell 2.5% to about $73,400 on 11 November, an 11-week low, breaking its 200-day moving average near $73,100.

Nvidia slid 7.7% after hours while AMD and Broadcom rose — the AI trade changed hands, it didn't break Nvidia closed Wednesday at 173.73, up 2.87%, then fell as much as 8.1% to 159.44 after reports that its board was preparing for a possible leadership change. The same session, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 5.7% with all 30 components higher, CoreWeave jumped 24.7% on 168% revenue growth, and Micron added 11.9%. If AI demand were being repriced, AMD and Broadcom would not be bid. This is a governance discount on one name, and 204.54 — the 200-day average — is the level that settles it.
