Taiwan is considering a potential Bitcoin reserve strategy, according to a May 7th, 2025, X post by Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3. 

Mow met with Taiwanese legislator Ju-Chun Ko to discuss the possibility of adding Bitcoin to the nation’s financial reserves.

The meeting highlights growing interest among policymakers in diversifying reserves and reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar.

Ko has called on Taiwan’s National Central Bank to evaluate the inclusion of Bitcoin in its strategic reserves. 

In a public statement, Ko cited recent exchange rate instability and technological disruptions in banking services as reasons to pursue a more diversified reserve structure.

“The New Taiwan Dollar has experienced significant fluctuations recently. From a daily appreciation of 5% to a daily depreciation of 5%. Many people are nervous. Even many small and medium-sized enterprises rely on exports to make a living... We overly rely solely on the so-called US dollar. We lack financial resilience... We should truly implement financial diversification. Even Bitcoin should be taken into consideration.”

Ko also referenced similar legislative efforts in the United States, where multiple states have debated the creation of strategic Bitcoin reserves. 

He argued that such diversification could enhance Taiwan’s financial resilience in the face of global currency pressures and trade dependencies.

While no official policy change has been confirmed, Taiwan’s exploration of a Bitcoin reserve strategy may reflect broader concerns about currency exposure and monetary sovereignty. 

Further developments will clarify whether these discussions lead to formal adoption or remain exploratory.
