Argentina Approves Bitcoin Pension Allocation—Up to 5% Allowed
🇦🇷 Argentina has officially approved a policy allowing up to 5% of pension fund allocations to be invested in Bitcoin, marking a historic shift in national retirement strategy. The move is part of President Javier Milei’s broader crypto reforms, which include free currency circulation and a 90% reduction in national taxes.
📈 The pension reform enables both public and private funds to allocate BTC through regulated custodians, with oversight from the National Securities Commission.
The policy is designed to hedge against inflation and diversify long-term holdings, as Argentina’s annual inflation rate remains above 200%.
💬 “Bitcoin is now a strategic asset for Argentina’s future,” said Finance Minister Diana Mondino.
The reform follows Milei’s push to legalize Bitcoin contracts and promote crypto as a tool for financial freedom.
