Ukraine has introduced a bill aimed at including Bitcoin and other virtual assets in its national reserves. This move is directed at modernizing the country's financial system.
The Bill and Its Objectives
The bill, registered under number 13356 on June 10, 2025, was introduced during the 13th session of the IX convocation. It includes a proposal to allow the National Bank of Ukraine to diversify its reserve holdings by incorporating Bitcoin alongside traditional assets such as gold and foreign currencies.
Support and Committees
The bill has gained support from a coalition of Ukrainian lawmakers, including Yaroslav Zheleznyak, Oleksii Zhmerenetskyi, and Maksym Buzhanskyi. It has been forwarded to several key committees, including:
* The Finance, Tax, and Customs Policy Committee * The Committee on Digital Transformation * The Committee on Budget * The Committee on Anti-Corruption Policy * The Committee on European Integration.
International Context and Implications
Supporters of the bill argue that including Bitcoin in national reserves would not only modernize Ukraine's financial infrastructure but also strengthen economic resilience amid growing global interest in decentralized digital assets. If passed, the bill could make Ukraine one of the first European nations to legally authorize Bitcoin as part of its national reserve strategy.
The initiative to include Bitcoin in reserves demonstrates Ukraine's commitment to modern financial policies and responsiveness to global economic challenges.
