Polish presidential candidate Sławomir Mentzen announced plans to adopt Bitcoin as part of the national reserve, inspired by Donald Trump's strategy. This declaration highlights the potential use of cryptocurrencies to mitigate inflation.
Mentzen's Bitcoin Plans
On November 17, Sławomir Mentzen confirmed his intention to establish a Bitcoin reserve with a simple response, 'obviously', on social media platform X. His support for the idea followed an appeal from crypto advocate Lech Wilczyński, who criticized ineffective cryptocurrency regulations.
Trump's Bitcoin Vision
During his campaign, Donald Trump emphasized Bitcoin endorsement, becoming the first U.S. president to support cryptocurrency at a national level. This was part of his broader agenda to position the U.S. as a crypto capital.
Cryptocurrency's Impact on National Reserves
More countries are exploring the potential role of Bitcoin as a national reserve, aimed at protecting against inflation through reserve diversification. The U.S. has already taken some steps in this direction.
Sławomir Mentzen's plans indicate growing interest in cryptocurrencies as national economic instruments. The success of this initiative remains to be seen, but the focus on Bitcoin as a strategic asset continues the global trend.
