Taiwan explores launching national BTC reserve with confiscated crypto

The post Taiwan explores launching national BTC reserve with confiscated crypto appeared com. Taiwan’s Prime Minister and the Central Bank have agreed to study the possibility of a national BTC reserve. The country would use seized BTC to build up a treasury. The Taiwan BTC initiative was presented to the Premier and Central Bank, seeking ways to convert Taiwan’s store of seized BTC into an official treasury. The proposal arrived at a time when BTC was off its all-time highs, but still traded above $102,000. The treasury initiative was presented by legislator Dr. Ju-chun Ko, who proposed a pilot study and a six-month period to draft new crypto-friendly legislation. 🚨 Taiwan breakthrough! Premier & CBC commit to: 1️⃣ Study #Bitcoin as strategic reserve 2️⃣ Draft BTC-friendly rules in 6 mos 3️⃣ Pilot BTC treasury holdings-starting with inventorying seized BTC awaiting auction! Led by @dAAAb #BTC fam, let’s make TW the Asia hub! 🇹🇼⚡. pic. twitter. com/OtczhWt8LK 科技立委葛如鈞 Ko Ju-Chun (@dAAAb) November 12, 2025 The proposal was also created in partnership with the JAN3 group, headed by long-term Bitcoin supporter Samson Mow. Dr. Ju-chun Ko has also previously called on the country’s Central Bank to consider alternative reserves in a time of economic and political uncertainty. The proposal took into account the recent volatility of the Taiwan dollar, suggesting BTC may be a hedge against currency volatility. The Taiwan Central Bank relies on $600B in foreign currency reserves and 432 tonnes of gold, one of the relatively large treasuries globally. Gold reserves increased in 2025 in response to geopolitical uncertainty. However, the Central Bank does not treat BTC as a similar alternative for currency debasement. Taiwan’s Central Bank has shown increased vigilance for crypto, especially after the rise of stablecoins. As Cryptopolitan reported earlier, Taiwan’s regulators called for stricter oversight on stablecoin usage and issuers. Despite some skepticism, the Central Bank will launch a.

Merchants Don’t Read White Papers, They Read Cash Flow Statements

The post Merchants Don’t Read White Papers, They Read Cash Flow Statements appeared com. This is a cross-post from Spiral’s blog, the original post can be found here. Our thesis is pretty simple: we can only make the case that bitcoin is everyday money if people can spend it. Unfortunately, for most of bitcoin’s existence, there just haven’t been many places to spend it. But then, something happened. Planets aligned, seas parted, nerds hooted and hollered from rooftops, and Block added support for bitcoin payments to millions of Square sellers, making bitcoin both ubiquitous and easy to activate. Suddenly, almost everyone is seconds away from accepting bitcoin payments. Pretty cool, right? Right? Yeah, except how merchants should accept bitcoin payments isn’t the only problem. Why merchants should accept bitcoin payments. That’s the boogeyman we need to vanquish. It always has been. How we do this is more apparent and pragmatic than bitcoin tropes about digital scarcity and immutability, neither of which will convert someone running an ice cream shop. What will motivate small business owners to accept bitcoin payments is their bottom line. They’re unlikely to be ideological; they’re far more likely to be practical. And what’s the most common problem in need of a practical solution faced by merchants that only bitcoin can solve in a digital-only world? Credit card fees and the death of cash. Back when cash ruled everything around everyone, 3% credit card fees on every purchase were just a distant but frightening hypothetical. It was a better time to run a small business, a time when everyone carried cash, businesses universally accepted it, and margins were chonk. This is, obviously, no longer the case. And yet, this is where it gets interesting: credit card companies have been so successful at ridding the world of physical cash that they’ve created the perfect stage for the bitcoin-minded to make the.
