On June 27, 2025, Pradip Bhandari, a representative of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), urged the Indian government to consider creating a strategic reserve in bitcoins to enhance the country's economic resilience. Bhandari refers to the experience of the USA, where individual states have already legalized $BTC as a reserve asset, and the Kingdom of Bhutan, which is actively engaged in cryptocurrency mining. He emphasized that clear regulation of cryptocurrencies could ensure transparency and protect investors, fostering innovation.
