Will Japan create a BTC reserve? Prime Minister Shizuka Shiba: Currently, there is a lack of sufficient information, and safety and liquidity are the primary considerations.

Japanese Senator Hamada Satoshi recently called for the Trump administration to follow suit by proposing a BTC reserve plan, but Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba responded that there is not enough information to understand the actions of the United States and other countries, and it is difficult to express a position on this at present.

As the Trump administration proposed a plan to build a US BTC reserve, sparking global follow, countries began to discuss related issues. The well-known American business magazine "Forbes" boldly predicts that by 2025, the G7 group or BRICS countries may establish BTC reserves, thus setting off a global BTC reserve race, so that BTC's status is on par with assets such as gold, forex reserves and sovereign bonds. Shigeru Ishiba: Lack of enough information to consider including BTC in reserves Recently, the topic of BTC reserves has also spread to Japan. Japan's NHK tribune Senator Hamada Satoshi raised the issue of "the introduction of BTC reserve movement by the United States and other countries" in the Senate on the 11th, saying: "I think Japan should follow the example of the United States and consider transferring part of its foreex reserves to encryption assets such as BTC." In this regard, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba pointed out in a written response on the 20th that there is currently limited understanding of the relevant movements of the United States and other countries to promote BTC reserves, and added: "In view of the current situation, it is difficult for the government to express its position on this." The overarching goal is security and liquidity Shigeru further explained in his official response that under the legal framework used by special accounting, "encryption assets are not considered part of forex". He emphasized that the current management of FOREX reserves is focused on maintaining the stability of foreign currency-denominated assets and foreign currency bond markets, while ensuring the safety and liquidity of reserves, which is a top priority for special accounting applications. Therefore, the Japanese government's position shows that they believe that encryption assets such as BTC cannot meet the requirements of the current FOREX management system due to high volatility, and remain cautious about including BTC in FOREX reserves. In the United States, Trump promised to build a national BTC reserve after taking office, but Fed Chairman Powell made it clear at a press conference after the FOMC meeting on the 19th: "We are not allowed to hold BTC." On the legal issue of holding BTC, he added: "This is something for Congress to consider, and we have no intention of seeking to change the law." The remarks hit market expectations for the establishment of BTC reserves in the United States. However, Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, said that Trump's attitude towards promoting the national BTC reserve is serious, and the final outcome still needs to be seen in the future direction of Trump's administration. Meanwhile, Republican state representatives Mike Cabell and Aaron Kaufer of Pennsylvania have proposed allowing the state to spend up to 10% of its funds on BTC in billions of dollars, aiming to protect the state from inflation and promote its leadership in financial innovation. Dennis Porter, co-founder of the BTC advocacy group Satoshi Action Fund, revealed that his organization is in talks with 10 other U.S. states to promote plans to build BTC reserves.
