Ukraine is said to consider Bitcoin reserves as part of a courageous change in course in cryptopolitics

Ukraine is reportedly working on a draft law with which Bitcoin could officially be included in the national reserves – this might be one of the first worldwide that takes this step.
The message that first from the local news agency Incrypted Published, quoted MEP Yaroslav Zhelezniak, who confirmed that the draft law was in the works. While the proposal is still finalized, Zhelezniak announced that he will soon bring him into parliament.
This step is in line with the increasing acceptance of digital assets in Ukraine. In a report by Chainalysis from 2024, Ukraine ranks among the countries with the highest crypto acceptance and has developed into an important player in the global crypto room. Public records show that Ukrainian officials keep a total of over 46,000 BTC worth around $ 5 billion.
In the middle of the war with Russia, the country has received millions of crypto donations and accelerated its efforts to build a regulatory framework. A new tax proposal is also checked, which could provide for a fee of 5% to 10% to crypto transactions in order to finance public expenses, especially for defense and emergency aid.
The global stock exchange Binance advises Ukrainian officials report on building a Bitcoin reserve. According to Kirill Khomyakov, Binances regional manager for Central and Eastern Europe, the stock exchange supports the initiative, but admits that significant legal changes are required before implementation.
Binance's engagement in Ukraine reflects its strategy in other countries, including Kyrgyzstan, where the company is involved in the design of cryptopolitics and the promotion of digital financial education. CEO Richard Teng recently announced that several governments with the platform are negotiating the establishment of state digital reserves.
