Polish right-wing libertarian politician and presidential candidate Mentzen promised to create a strategic Bitcоin reserve if elected president in 2025.
In a recent post, Lech Wilczyński, CEO of crypto exchange Swap.ly, asked Polish politician Sławomir Mentzen whether he would consider establishing a strategic reserve of Bitcoin in Poland.
“Of сourse,” Mentzen replied. He later reiterated his stance in a separate post, advocating for the creation of a Bitcoin reserve in the country.
“Very friendly regulations, low taxes, and a supportive approach from banks and regulators,” Mentzen wrote in a post on X.
If I become the President of Poland, our country will become a cryptocurrency haven, with very friendly regulations, low taxes, and a supportive approach from banks and regulators.
Mentzen’s advocacу for a crypto-friendly Poland and the establishment of Bitcoin reserves mirrors the support expressed by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump for digital currencies.
Mirroring Bitcoin Presidents
During his campaign, Donald Trump made several crypto-related promises, including the creation of a “Strategic Bitcoin Stockpile.” Additionally, he pledged to replace SEC Chair Gary Gensler. Gensler’s potential departure was fueled by a recent speech wherein he reflected on his two-year tenure as the head of the SEC.
Following Trump’s election victory, Bitcoin’s value surged past $90K, despite uncertainties about his timeline for fulfilling his pro-crypto promises.
Meanwhile, other nations, including El Salvador and Bhutan, have made moves to accumulate significant Bitcoin reserves.
Under President Nayib Bukele, El Salvador became the first country in the world to make Bitcoin legal tender through its “Bitсoin law”. The nation’s Bitcoin holdings, totaling approximately 6,154 coins, have doubled their value, reaching $510.1 million.
Arkham Intelligence revealed in September that Bhutan held about $780 million in assets, as a result of mining operations that began in 2019.
