The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has filed a motion to recognize Bitcoin as a strategic asset, distinct from other crypto-assets.
The proposal argues that Bitcoin's decentralized design and fixed supply make it unique and deserving of separate treatment from tokens and stablecoins covered by the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework.
The party proposes that the government consider accumulating Bitcoin within national reserves as a hedge against inflation and currency volatility.
The proposal aims to promote Bitcoin as a strategic asset, recognizing its potential to contribute to the country's economic stability and growth.
