Bitcoin Reserves: A Rare Strategy Beyond the US
As of January 2026, only a handful of nations follow the US in adopting Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. President Trump's 2025 executive order established the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, holding seized assets worth billions. El Salvador leads with its pioneering law, stacking over 5,800 BTC, while no other country matches this commitment.
EU central banks, led by ECB President Christine Lagarde, firmly reject Bitcoin for reserves, citing volatility and risks. China’s PBOC bans crypto trading, focusing on its digital yuan instead. At most, one or two outliers like the Czech Republic experiment minimally, but official adoption remains improbable elsewhere.
