Taiwanese lawmaker formally urges government to allocate part of $602B FX reserves to Bitcoin.

Legislator Dr. Ko Ju-Chun brought the Bitcoin Policy Institute's reserve proposal directly to Taiwan's Premier and central bank Governor during a formal Legislative Yuan session on April 29 — one of the most senior audiences a Bitcoin reserve argument has reached in Asia.

Ko called on the executive branch to explore directing a portion of Taiwan&#x27;s $602 billion in foreign exchange reserves into <a class="ticker-mention" href="/en-US/token/btc">BTC</a> as a strategic national asset. He also requested the central bank submit a formal report within one month covering stablecoins and broader digital asset reserves — putting a hard deadline on the response.

The move adds Taiwan to a growing list of jurisdictions where Bitcoin reserve proposals have crossed from activist circles into official legislative chambers, raising the stakes for how Asian central banks frame their digital asset posture.
