Swedish Lawmaker Pushes for National Bitcoin Reserve Strategy
Sweden is once again seeing Bitcoin enter its political arena. This week, Dennis Dioukarev, a Member of Parliament from the Sweden Democrats, officially questioned Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson on whether the government is considering creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve through confiscated digital assets.
In his submission to the Riksdag, Dioukarev pointed to global trends, specifically the U.S. government’s model of utilizing seized crypto funds to build national reserves. He urged Sweden to explore a similar path, highlighting Bitcoin’s growing role in international finance.
His move signals increasing political interest in digital assets and could shape how Sweden manages crypto-related policy in the future.
