Is it realistic that all countries in the world will have Bitcoin in their reserves?
Currently, this is not the norm, but the trend is just beginning.
Who is already officially storing Bitcoin?
El Salvador — the first and so far the only country to officially recognize BTC as a legal means of payment and regularly replenishes state reserves with Bitcoin.
Bhutan — through its sovereign fund Druk Holding & Investments has invested in Bitcoin 'quietly', according to reports.
Argentina, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Lebanon — unofficially consider BTC as a reserve asset amid inflation and declining trust in fiat currencies.
What prevents mass adoption?
Volatility — BTC is still subject to sharp price fluctuations.
Legal uncertainty — not all jurisdictions consider BTC an asset suitable for reserves.
Geopolitical risks — the West may perceive such actions as a challenge to financial hegemony.
Lack of infrastructure — not all countries have the necessary storage, regulation, and analytics.
Future: is global acceptance possible?
The scenario of 'BTC in every national reserve' is possible, but not in the next 2-3 years.
Most likely:
🔟–💯 countries (especially in Asia, Africa, and Latin America) may start with small shares of BTC in reserves as an experiment.
Bitcoin could become 'digital gold', especially in countries with unstable economies.
The key catalyst will be the ETF wave and institutional acceptance of BTC.
Interesting fact:
> Some economists are already suggesting using Bitcoin as an international settlement asset as an alternative to SWIFT — a kind of neutral currency without an issuer.
