Interest in Bitcoin as part of national reserves is growing rapidly—and among the countries now actively considering this move are Brazil and Indonesia. Their goal? To strengthen economic resilience, utilize surplus renewable energy, and modernize outdated financial infrastructure.

Indonesia Exploring Bitcoin as a National Asset

The organization Bitcoin Indonesia recently presented a proposal to the office of Indonesian Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, advocating for the creation of a national bitcoin reserve. According to their statement on X, the government is “seriously considering” the option as a long-term tool to bolster the economy.

During the meeting, Bitcoin Indonesia representatives proposed using surplus renewable energy for Bitcoin mining, allowing the country to accumulate BTC as a strategic reserve. The delegation also distributed key educational materials—such as The Bitcoin Standard—to raise awareness and build institutional support.

While cryptocurrency trading is currently legal in Indonesia, using crypto as a payment method has been banned since 2017. However, growing technological development and evolving energy strategies may soon open the door for deeper involvement in the bitcoin economy.

The U.S. Sparked a Global Shift

Indonesia’s interest comes only months after the United States announced the creation of its own strategic bitcoin reserve—an initiative formalized by an executive order signed by President Donald Trump.

Bitcoin is increasingly being viewed as a hedge against inflation, geopolitical risk, and currency devaluation. Its decentralized nature and independence from traditional banking make it an attractive asset for countries with unstable fiat currencies and underutilized energy resources.

Brazil Nears Historic Bitcoin Legislation

Brazil is leading the charge: its Chamber of Deputies is set to debate a draft bill on August 20 that could allow up to 5% of national reserves to be allocated to Bitcoin—roughly $15 billion. Representatives from Brazil’s central bank, the Ministry of Finance, and other major institutions are expected to attend.

However, the bill is facing pushback. While Vice President Geraldo Alckmin considers the discussion a matter of national interest, the head of monetary policy at Brazil’s central bank has expressed skepticism about Bitcoin’s suitability for national reserves.

A Global Domino Effect?

Brazil and Indonesia are not alone. Countries like Pakistan, Ukraine, and Sweden have also voiced interest in exploring national bitcoin reserves. Many experts predicted a global domino effect once the U.S. made its move—and that prediction is now becoming reality.

Bitcoin is no longer just an asset for individual investors—it’s emerging as a potential reserve asset for sovereign nations. And that marks a fundamental shift in the global economic order.
