$BTC Inspired by the USA, the proposal for a strategic bitcoin reserve ($BTC ) gains momentum with a Brazilian deputy's speech at an event

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, initiated a debate on the creation of a strategic bitcoin (BTC) reserve for the country. A similar idea emerged here with the bill (PL) proposed by Deputy Eros Biondini (PL-MG) at the end of 2024.

In the wake of the American debates, the proposal aims to diversify the financial assets of the National Treasury and protect Brazilian reserves against currency fluctuations and geopolitical risks, in addition to “ensuring backing for the issuance of the Brazilian digital currency (Real Digital – Drex).”

The PL, however, is only expected to begin having its amendments debated in the Chamber of Deputies starting next Thursday (27), according to the schedule of the Legislative House.

But the proposal gains renewed momentum here in Brazil following the remarks by Pedro Giocondo Guerra, chief of staff to Vice President Geraldo Alckmin (PSB).

Guerra stated, at an event this Wednesday (26), that it is relevant to discuss the creation of a national strategic reserve in bitcoin. The chief of staff was representing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at an event.

“Debating rigorously the constitution of a sovereign reserve of value in bitcoin is in the public interest and will be decisive for our prosperity. After all, bitcoin is digital gold, the gold of the internet. It is a technology that allows for the swift transmission of wealth from one end of the planet to the other and stores the fruits of our labor efficiently and securely,” he stated.
