Ko Ju-Chun, a Taiwan lawmaker, has called on the government to consider adding Bitcoin to the nation’s reserves alongside gold and foreign exchange holdings.

Speaking at the National Conference earlier today, Ju-Chun emphasized diversifying the country’s reserve assets to safeguard against rising global economic instability.

In his speech, Ju-Chun argued that Bitcoin, due to its decentralized nature, fixed supply, and resistance to censorship, offers a modern hedge against inflation and currency devaluation.

“Taiwan, as an export-driven economy, is especially vulnerable to foreign exchange volatility and geopolitical risks. We currently hold 423 metric tons of gold and $577 billion in foreign reserves, including U.S. Treasury bonds. But we must look ahead,”

he noted.

Ju-Chun pointed out that traditional reserve assets may no longer offer sufficient protection in today’s fast-changing global economy.

He warned that the New Taiwan Dollar (NTD) could face increasing pressure under intensified economic stress and suggested that Bitcoin, like gold, could serve as a financial safe haven.

Jan3 and Samson Mow Signal Growing Global Bitcoin Adoption

Ju-Chun’s proposal follows a recent meeting with Samson Mow, CEO of Bitcoin-focused infrastructure firm Jan3. Mow, a vocal advocate of hyperbitcoinization, has been working with governments worldwide to integrate Bitcoin into sovereign reserves.

Jan3 publicly announced the meeting on X, highlighting Taiwan’s potential to become an early adopter in Asia.

Shortly after, Ju-Chun took to X to share his speech, urging Taiwan’s government and NGOs to act quickly and strategically.

“Several nations are already exploring Bitcoin’s hedging capabilities; Taiwan must not fall behind,”

he said.

While no formal policy shift has yet been announced, his remarks may spark broader national debate on the role of digital assets in strengthening economic resilience.

Bitcoin Rally Tied to QE Shift, Says Hayes, Arthur Hayes

In an April 1, 2025, Substack post, Arthur Hayes, Co-Founder of BitMEX and CIO at Maelstrom, outlined how U.S. monetary policy could fuel Bitcoin’s next bull run.

Hayes believes that if the U.S. Federal Reserve pivots from quantitative tightening (QT) to quantitative easing (QE), it could trigger a powerful market reaction that propels Bitcoin toward the $250,000 mark by the end of 2025.

“Bitcoin trades on the future expectations of fiat liquidity,” Hayes wrote, emphasizing how central bank decisions impact digital asset markets.

He explained that QE, where central banks inject money into the financial system by purchasing securities, would increase liquidity, reduce interest rates, and likely boost investor confidence.

This monetary easing, Hayes argued, could act as a “catalyst” for Bitcoin’s next all-time high. “If my analysis is correct,” he said, “we should see the beginning of Bitcoin’s ascent towards $250,000 by year-end.”
