Taiwan is considering creating a national Bitcoin reserve, with Premier Zhuo Rongtai preparing a report on the total amount of confiscated Bitcoin by domestic agencies. Legislators are debating whether to hold or liquidate the assets. This marks the first public consideration of BTC as a reserve asset by Taiwanese officials.

Lawmakers, including Ko Ju-Chun, have advocated for a Bitcoin reserve as a hedge against global uncertainty, citing its potential to stabilize the monetary system.
