A French national crypto stash is on the horizon?

A French national crypto stash is on the horizon?

Imagine France waltzing into the digital gold rush with its own strategic Bitcoin reserve.

That’s exactly what Eric Ciotti, the Union of the Right for the Republic’s firebrand politician, recently put on the table.

Stay ahead in the crypto world – follow us on X for the latest updates, insights, and trends!🚀

A plan to snag 2% of the global Bitcoin supply and store it as a national treasure.

Now, experts say this is a serious bid to give the EU’s second-largest economy a turbo boost in financial sovereignty.

State-backed Bitcoin mining?

Based on the proposal, this Bitcoin stash wouldn’t be tossed into the void but managed by a public administrative body, a government-backed but somewhat independent agency keeping a sharp eye on those coins.

The idea gets juicier, the Bitcoins would come from mining powered by France’s abundant nuclear and hydroelectric energy, plus some crypto that’s been forfeited along the way. Eco-friendly hodling, anyone?

55,000 BTC annually

Ciotti also dreams bigger, proposing to funnel 25% of deposits from popular French savings accounts, the famous Livret A and the Livret de Développement Durable et Solidaire into this Bitcoin treasure chest.

The rest? Still earmarked for the usual social housing projects and government-backed loans.

If this plan clicks, France could be scooping up approximately 55,000 BTC annually, enough to ruffle a few digital feathers.

The politician himself talks big about this move putting France “at the forefront of monetary freedom,” a catchy phrase that could make crypto fans swoon or politics junkies raise an eyebrow.

But scratch beneath the surface, and the reality feels less like a stroll and more like a stormy battle.

As experts highlighted, Ciotti’s party holds a meager 16 seats out of 577 in the National Assembly, the arena where dreams meet brutal legislative math. Opposition is expected to line up like snipers at dawn, ready to shoot holes in this ambitious bid.

Corruption?

To add a dash of spice (or scandal), Ciotti recently got caught in the crossfire of an anti-corruption association, Anticor.

This controversy could either torpedo the proposal or, who knows, make it even juicier for political drama addicts.

So, will France gamble on Bitcoin, or is this just another high-stakes political poker game?

The proposal is the kind of bold move that could make headlines or quietly fade into the legislative abyss.
