A Swiss parliament member, Samuel Kullmann, has revealed plans to incorporate Bitcoin into the country’s constitution and have the Swiss National Bank include it in its reserves. Kullmann sees this as a potential ‘defensive tool’ that would allow citizens to directly influence policy decisions related to digital assets like Bitcoin. While he aims for this integration, the Swiss National Bank remains steadfastly opposed to incorporating Bitcoin into its reserves. The bank cited volatility and regulatory concerns as key factors in their stance. 2024 saw Kullmann spearhead a motion encouraging the exploration of Bitcoin mining for grid stability. His initiative also included advocating for the inclusion of Bitcoin in the constitution, requiring the Swiss National Bank to hold some of its reserves in Bitcoin. Despite this, the Swiss National Bank has consistently opposed incorporating Bitcoin into foreign exchange reserves. The central bank maintains that holding digital assets does not align with their objective of supporting monetary policy, citing high volatility and regulatory challenges as key factors. While Kullmann’s proposal remains in development, it reflects growing interest in Bitcoin within Switzerland’s political landscape. Other Swiss banks like Sygnum Bank and Swissquote have also begun incorporating crypto assets into their lending practices, reflecting a shift towards the acceptance of digital assets. Despite the continued opposition from the central bank, the potential for increased integration of Bitcoin into Switzerland is evident.
