Ukraine is preparing a revolution: A bill on strategic bitcoin reserves is within reach

Ukraine is approaching a historic breakthrough in cryptocurrencies. According to the latest sources, the Ukrainian government is finalizing a bill that would allow the establishment of national bitcoin reserves. This move could mark a significant change not only for the Ukrainian financial system, but also for the overall perception of cryptocurrencies as a stable asset and a tool of economic defense in times of war.


Key information about the plan

A member of the Ukrainian parliament, Yaroslav Zhelezniak, confirmed to local media outlet Incrypted that the bill is already in its final stages. According to him, the law is part of a broader strategy to develop the cryptocurrency industry in Ukraine and will enable the creation of official cryptoreserves. The concept was presented at the CRYPTO 2025 conference held in Kiev on February 6, and has since been gaining increasing attention both in the region and internationally.


Bitcoin as a national reserve asset

Ukraine could thus become one of the first countries to officially adopt Bitcoin (BTC) as part of its national reserve. The move could strengthen its financial resilience, especially at a time when the country is in conflict with Russia. Similar efforts have been made elsewhere - for example, in the US, where former President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March 2025 to establish a national bitcoin reserve, and in Sweden, where MP Rickard Nordin has publicly called for consideration of adopting BTC as a reserve asset.


International and legal context

Interest in the use of Bitcoin as a national asset to enhance economic stability is growing internationally. However, as experts point out, the introduction of such an initiative will not be easy. Kyrylo Khomiakov, regional head for Central and Eastern Europe at the Binance exchange, warns that legal changes will be necessary and their implementation may be lengthy. "Ukraine's ambitions are laudable, but it will require major legal adjustments," Khomiakov says.

In addition, according to Daniil Getmantsev, chairman of the Verkhovna Rada's tax committee, Ukraine planned to fully legalize cryptocurrencies by 2025 in cooperation with the National Bank of Ukraine and the International Monetary Fund. Then in April, regulators proposed taxing some crypto transactions at a rate of up to 23%, indicating a push for greater regulation and clarity in the sector.


Conclusion

Ukraine's draft law on strategic bitcoin reserves represents a bold step towards modernising and strengthening the national economy. Although there is still a long way to go and legal hurdles to overcome, the initiative shows that cryptocurrencies are becoming an integral part of geopolitical strategies even in times of greatest uncertainty. Time will tell whether Ukraine will be able to implement this ambitious plan, but its determination may inspire other countries to use digital assets as a tool for national security and stability.
