Indonesia is weighing the possibility of adding Bitcoin to its national reserves, following a high-level discussion between the Vice President’s office and representatives from Bitcoin Indonesia – the region’s largest BTC community.
The meeting signals a potential turning point in how the Southeast Asian nation views digital assets.
Bitcoin Mining and Inflation Hedge on the Table
The conversation reportedly explored a range of strategic uses for Bitcoin, from utilizing BTC mining as part of a reserve diversification strategy to adopting Bitcoin itself as a hedge against inflation and global monetary volatility.
Bitcoin Indonesia presented macroeconomic data supporting the case, highlighting global reserve diversification trends, growing institutional crypto adoption, and the increasing use of BTC by sovereign states. The discussion also touched on long-term projections, including the symbolic potential of linking Indonesia’s Bitcoin strategy to the country’s centennial independence celebration in 2045.
