Swedish MP Dennis Dioukarev has urged the government to consider adopting bitcoin as part of the nation’s currency reserves. Addressing Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson he proposed following a trend gaining momentum in both Europe and the United States by holding bitcoin alongside fiat and gold without using taxpayer funds.

The idea mirrors a bold move by the US where President Donald Trump recently signed an order to create a national bitcoin reserve using seized BTC. Sweden could join this forward-thinking shift as other leaders in the Riksdag including Rickard Nordin echo support for reviewing bitcoin’s role in financial strategy. The Czech Republic has also shown interest with its central bank considering up to 7 billion dollars in BTC reserves.

While the European Central Bank remains cautious the global crypto tide is rising. As more nations explore bitcoin-backed reserves Sweden may soon embrace this digital evolution to future-proof its economy.
