Following the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve's establishment using approximately 200,000 BTC, nations including Indonesia, Brazil, India, Kazakhstan, and Pakistan are exploring integrating crypto assets into their national reserves.
A US executive order in March 2025 established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve using about 200,000 BTC from seized assets, prompting global interest as countries now consider crypto reserves to hedge against inflation. Indonesia is evaluating a national strategy, Brazil plans a bill for allocating up to 5% of treasury reserves (potentially $15 billion) to Bitcoin, India’s ruling party is urging reserve creation, Kazakhstan is developing a state crypto reserve funded by seized and mined assets, and Pakistan is planning a sovereign reserve with industry advisory support.
