Conor McGregor’s Bold Bitcoin Plan for Irish Presidency

The European political landscape is undergoing a shift, and Conor McGregor, UFC icon and outspoken political figure, is positioning himself at its center. His audacious plan: becoming the first president to incorporate bitcoin into the EU’s balance sheet, challenging established financial institutions. This bold initiative comes after McGregor declared his candidacy for the Irish presidency on May 22, 2025. Motivated by his opposition to the European Pact on Migration and Asylum, he aims to break away from traditional monetary approaches. McGregor envisions a national strategic reserve of bitcoin for Ireland, echoing Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele’s initiative, who has used Bitcoin to transform his nation into a global testing ground for cryptocurrencies.
