Global Bitcoin Reserve Trends: Japan and Russia Take a Wait-and-See Approach
Recently, new dynamics on the international stage have revealed different positions of countries regarding Bitcoin as a national reserve asset. Both Japan and Russia have expressed no intention to establish national Bitcoin reserves for the time being, opting for a wait-and-see strategy to observe the subsequent actions of other countries, especially the United States.
Japan: Cautious Observation, Legal Restrictions
In Japan, a lawmaker proposed that the government should follow the United States' example and consider including Bitcoin in national reserves. However, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's office responded that it is currently unclear what the specific trends are for the United States and other countries and regions, making it difficult to take an immediate stance. Furthermore, under Japan's current legal framework, the government is not allowed to hold cryptocurrencies. Ishiba himself has also been cautious about cryptocurrencies in the past, indicating that the Japanese government holds a conservative stance on Bitcoin reserves.
Russia: Prioritizing Stability, Refusing to Take Risks
Meanwhile, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov also expressed a cautious attitude towards Bitcoin. Despite Bitcoin's price surge this year, its unpredictability has made the Russian government unwilling to assume related financial risks. Siluanov emphasized that the nation prefers to choose a prudent financial strategy, even if it means potentially reducing returns, rather than risking involvement in the Bitcoin market.
Global Divergence: The United States and Brazil Actively Explore
In stark contrast, countries like the United States and Brazil are actively exploring the possibility of using Bitcoin as a national reserve asset. This trend indicates that global attitudes towards cryptocurrencies are increasingly polarized, with different countries adopting entirely different positions and strategies regarding Bitcoin based on their own circumstances and interests.
