Poland’s libertarian presidential candidate Sławomir Mentzenhas announced plans to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve if he wins the May 2025 elections.
Mentzen shared his vision on November 17 via the social media platform
He wrote:
“Poland should create a strategic Bitcoin reserve. If I become the president of Poland, our country will become a cryptocurrency haven, with very friendly regulations, low taxes and a supportive approach from banks and regulators.” (Translated from Polish)
Meanwhile, the proposal could draw inspiration from the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve framework developed by the Satoshi Action Fund, a crypto advocacy group.
In one after On
That’s why Mentzen proposed using the BTC advocacy group’s open-source policy model to guide his initiative.
Mentzen’s advocacy for Bitcoin is in line with his investments in crypto. Earlier this month, he said celebrated BTC hit an all-time high and reportedly vowed not to sell its holdings despite price increases.
Bitcoin reserves trend
Mentzen’s plan reflects global initiatives to integrate Bitcoin into national and institutional financial strategies.
Talks about adopting Bitcoin as a strategic reserve in the US have gained momentum following the recent re-election of Donald Trump. Proponents suggest this could position Bitcoin as a modern-day “digital gold” to strengthen the US dollar.
Former White House official Anthony Scaramucci said:
“Strategic BTC reserve can be positioned as the new Fort Knox. Digital gold to support and hold back the USD.”
Meanwhile, El Salvador offers a practical example: embrace Bitcoin as legal tender under President Nayib Bukele. The country’s bold approach includes owning more than 5,700 BTC, worth $522 million, to signal its commitment to the digital currency as the cornerstone of its economy.
In addition to nation-state adoption, several listed companies have also announced plans to integrate key digital assets into their government bonds. The companies explained that their decision is based on the fact that BTC can help protect them against inflation and diversify their treasuries.
