The Central Bank has started to explore the possibility of including Bitcoin among the country's strategic reserve assets.
Taiwan is considering including Bitcoin in its strategic reserves.
In this context, legal and technical regulations are being prepared to integrate digital assets into national reserve policies.
Officials aim to launch a Bitcoin-backed pilot program in the first phase of the plan.
In this pilot application, the Bitcoin currently held by the government and awaiting auction will be evaluated as a trial reserve position. Thus, Taiwan could become one of the first Asian countries to directly test Bitcoin in strategic reserves.
Experts state that this step could enhance Taiwan's financial innovation capacity and enable the country to take a pioneering role in its digital asset policy.
Additionally, it is assessed that Bitcoin reserves could create currency diversity in the long term and serve as a protection against geopolitical risks.
The Central Bank of Taiwan has reported that the research is still in its early stages, but the possibility of officially creating Bitcoin reserves may come to the agenda based on the results.
This development indicates that the global trend towards digital asset integration at the state level is also gaining momentum in Asia.
Stay tuned for new developments.
