**Bitcoin Predicted to Become Strategic Reserves for Several Countries This Year**
Franklin Templeton, a leading asset management company, predicts that in 2025 several countries will begin to adopt Bitcoin (BTC) as part of their strategic reserves.
According to the released report, Bitcoin is increasingly being accepted as a 'digital store of value' globally. This interest in Bitcoin can also be seen from the steps of several politicians in countries such as Germany and Hong Kong.
This was evidenced by Hong Kong Legislative Council Member Wu Jiexhuang who proposed that his country consider Bitcoin in their reserves to improve financial stability. Meanwhile, the Free Democratic Party (FDP) in Germany also supports a similar idea to strengthen the European monetary system.
The Franklin Templeton report also highlights the shift in Bitcoin's role from being a mere speculative tool to an asset with practical uses. The approval of a Bitcoin ETF in the United States is said to have driven the interest of large institutions, and this trend is expected to continue to grow with clearer regulations.
If Bitcoin is truly adopted as a strategic reserve, it could strengthen the financial stability of the countries that use it. In addition, this step also has the potential to spur wider adoption of Bitcoin in the world, bringing significant transformation to the global financial system in the future.
