Reading Time: < 1 minute

Indonesia is seriously considering Bitcoin as a national reserve asset—and even exploring mining as a key economic driver. Bitcoin Indonesia, a major local advocate, revealed it was invited by the Vice President’s office to discuss how Bitcoin could strengthen the country’s financial future.

“We pitched a bold vision: using Bitcoin mining as a reserve strategy,” the group shared on X.

With abundant renewable energy sources like hydro and geothermal power, Indonesia could follow in the footsteps of other Bitcoin-friendly nations by turning mining into a jobs and growth engine.

As the world’s fourth-most-populous country and the 16th-largest economy, Indonesia’s embrace of Bitcoin could have massive global implications. The government appears open to innovative solutions, signaling a potential shift toward crypto-friendly policies.
