Indonesia is weighing a groundbreaking move—adding Bitcoin to its national reserves. Bitcoin Indonesia, a leading crypto organization, confirmed it recently presented the proposal to top government officials, including the Vice President’s office.
“We discussed Bitcoin mining as a reserve strategy,” the group stated, emphasizing Indonesia’s untapped hydro and geothermal energy potential.
If adopted, the plan could spur economic growth and job creation, following models seen in other pro-Bitcoin nations.
With 280 million people and a $1.4 trillion economy, Indonesia’s interest in Bitcoin could mark a major shift in how large emerging markets approach digital assets.
Officials are reportedly taking the idea seriously, though no formal decisions have been made.
