Sweden is going to accept bitcoins?

What if Sweden happened another country that integrated bitcoins into its national reserves? This is a bold question asked by Rickard Nordin, a representative of the Swedish parliament, in a letter addressed by Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson. An initiative that could disrupt the country’s monetary strategy.

Bitcoin in the heart of a parliamentary proposal in Sweden

In a world marked by geopolitical instability and persistent inflation, more and more countries are changing to BTC as strategic active. In the United States, some federal states and representatives already consider bitcoins to be the digital equivalent of gold. Could Sweden, known for the prudence of its monetary policy, dive into?

Richard Nordin invites the government to think seriously about this issue. He suggests that Riksbank, a Swedish central bank, may be authorized to include bitcoins in the country’s official reserves. It is not a technophilic whim, but a strategic proposal. In his letter sent on April 7, 2025, he emphasizes the role of bitcoins as a values ​​of refuge, alternative means of payment and resistance in authoritarian countries.

Even more interesting: The deputy offers a solution without affecting the state budget. According to him, it is enough to keep the bitcoins confiscated by the authorities (police, customs) instead of their further sales. A method that has already been successfully tested in the United States, where these seizures allowed to build a significant reserve without spending penny.

What will be the ECB reaction?

The European Central Bank (ECB) expressed strong reserves in terms of integration of bitcoins into national reserves. Christine Lagard, President ECB, said the reserves of European central banks must be “Liquids, Safe, Safe” And it is not associated with criminal activities, suggesting that bitcoin does not meet these criteria. Therefore, the possible acceptance of Bitcoins by Sweden in its national reserves could arouse strong criticism from the ECB and other European institutions.

This proposal brings a debate on Bitcoins to the heart of Swedish politics. It remains to be found whether Sweden will take advantage of this historical opportunity or continue to watch a train from digital assets! This was when the Czech Republic could invest $ 7 billion in the BTC reserve.
