Brazil Considers National Bitcoin Reserve Proposal

- Public hearing on August 20, 2025, will shape future steps.
- Impact could make Brazil the largest sovereign BTC holder globally.
Brazil is planning to establish a national Bitcoin reserve, with a public hearing scheduled on August 20, 2025, possibly allocating 5% of its international reserves to cryptocurrency.
This move could position Brazil as the largest sovereign Bitcoin holder, sparking global interest and debates over cryptocurrency’s role in national reserves.
Brazil is exploring a proposal to build a national Bitcoin reserve through Bill 4501/2024 . If sanctioned, the reserve could utilize 5% of foreign reserves, translating to a potential $15–17 billion investment in Bitcoin.
Federal Deputy Eros Biondini authored the proposal, supported by Pedro Giocondo Guerra and opposed by Nilton David of the Central Bank. A public hearing is set for August 20, 2025.
The move could significantly alter global cryptocurrency dynamics, making Brazil the largest sovereign BTC holder. It may shift perceptions of Bitcoin from a volatile asset to a reliable reserve.
Discussed measures include Bitcoin purchases in increments, securing assets in cold wallets, and possibly influencing ETH and other major altcoins positively.
The debate acknowledges both the innovative potential and risks of incorporating crypto into national reserves. Similar strategies were previously seen in El Salvador , though on a smaller scale.
Should the proposal be adopted, financial outcomes could lead to increased global BTC legitimacy, changing regulatory landscapes, and setting technological precedents in governmental asset management.
“The formation of a Sovereign Strategic Reserve of Bitcoins by the Federal Government is a necessary step toward securing Brazil’s financial future.” — Eros Biondini, Federal Deputy, source
