The post Japan’s National Diet Bitcoin Reserve Proposal: A New Chapter in Crypto Adoption appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The political sentiment of the United States towards the cryptocurrency industry has turned encouraging, since pro-Crypto candidate Donald Trump won the US presidential election, defeating Kamala Harris, who represented a crypto-skeptic regime. The country is expected to establish a Bitcoin reserve as soon as Trump assumes the seat of power in late January, 2025. There are enough reasons to believe that the change in the US’ attitude towards the crypto industry and its plan to create a BTC reserve have influenced many countries.
With a Japanese lawmaker submitting a proposal seeking the creation of a national crypto reserve in Japan, the country becomes the latest entrant to the list of countries considering the reserve strategy. Here is what you should know about the development.
Japan’s Push for a Bitcoin Reserve
It was on December 11 that the Bitcoin reserve proposal was submitted in the national legislature of Japan, known as the National Diet. A rare coincidence is that the lawmaker, who placed the proposal, shares a first name with the anonymous founder of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.
It is unclear how far Satoshi Hamada (the Japanese lawmaker) can push the proposal in the lawmaking body, considering the fact that his political party is very weak in terms of parliament representation.
The general expectation is that the proposal would win the support of lawmakers like Yuchiro Tamaki, a pro-Bitcoin legislator who leads a party with strong representation in the Japanese legislative body.
Notably, Tamaki recently made some bold statements, highlighting the importance of bringing reforms to the cryptocurrency regulation and tax frameworks.

The Global Bitcoin Reserve Movement
It seems that many countries are preparing to embrace the strategy of establishing a Bitcoin reserve to counter the threat of inflation.
Russia, Brazil and Poland are some of the countries discussing the possibility of creating a national BTC reserve.
Russian and Brazilian lawmakers tabled their proposals in their respective law-making bodies in 2023 itself.
Probably inspired by how Donald Trump won the hearts of the US electorate by projecting himself as a crypto champion, a Polish presidential candidate is currently pushing for Bitcoin stockpiling for national security.
In conclusion, as Bitcoin adoption grows globally, the race for national Bitcoin reserves highlights its role as a critical asset in financial strategy.
