Brazil’s Vice President Geraldo Alckmin’s chief of staff, Pedro Giocondo Guerra, emphasizes the importance of establishing a national strategic Bitcoin reserve.
The proposed bill aims to guard Brazil against currency fluctuations and geopolitical uncertainties by diversifying the government’s international reserves.
If passed, the bill would allow Brazil to invest up to $18.3 billion in Bitcoin, representing 5% of the country's international reserves.
The legislation includes guidelines for acquisition, security measures, transparency, and educational programs in the field of blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
