The "RESbit" legislation seeks to accumulate 1 million Bitcoin through seized assets and tax payments, aiming to rival U.S. holdings despite Central Bank regulatory concerns.
Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies is considering the "RESbit" bill (PL4501/2024), which proposes a National Bitcoin Sovereign Reserve targeting 1 million BTC over five years to surpass U.S. holdings. The legislation mandates retaining seized crypto assets rather than selling them and accepting Bitcoin for taxes. While it includes protections for self-custody and tax exemptions, the proposal faces regulatory opposition regarding Central Bank oversight.
