Taiwan’s legislator Ko Ju-Chun has urged the government to explore integrating Bitcoin into its national reserves, alongside traditional assets like gold and foreign currencies. Speaking at a finance conference on May 9th, Ko proposed allocating a small portion of Taiwan’s reserve funds—around $50 billion—to Bitcoin as a hedge against global economic uncertainty and geopolitical risks. He emphasized Bitcoin’s decentralized nature, fixed supply, and growing usage in diversifying assets for a stable national financial strategy. 8 Ko highlighted the country’s reliance on exports, which contributes to currency volatility within Taiwan. He also believes Bitcoin could serve as an uncorrelated asset during potential crises, maintaining liquidity and avoiding seizure risk when geopolitical tensions arise.
