Swedish MP Rickard Nordin has proposed a strategic shift in Sweden’s foreign exchange reserves by exploring the inclusion of Bitcoin. He argues that Bitcoin’s global adoption and its characteristics similar to gold make it a valuable asset for national resilience, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. π§ πΈπͺ Nordin proposes utilizing seized Bitcoin assets confiscated by law enforcement such as police or customs officials instead of directly purchasing them. This proposal, outlined in a formal written question to Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson, requires the government to respond by April 16th. ποΈ He cites examples of US states and federal agencies adopting Bitcoin as an alternative to gold during volatile economic periods. πΊπΈ Nordin’s argument rests on Bitcoin’s decentralized nature as a hedge against inflation and its potential as a means for people in authoritarian regimes to preserve their financial freedom.
