Once he becomes president, Slawomir Mientzen intends to implement a plan to create a Bitcoin reserve to strengthen the country's economy. The candidate himself already owns 33.7 Bitcoins, whose total value exceeds $3 million.
Mientzen stated on his account on the X platform (formerly Twitter): "Will I create a Bitcoin reserve in Poland? Of course!" He believes that such a reserve will become an important tool for diversifying the country's financial assets. Bitcoin, with a fixed limit of 21 million coins, is able to maintain its value over time and is not subject to inflation, like traditional currencies.
World practice shows that cryptocurrencies are finding increasing application in the economy. For example, El Salvador became the first country to recognize Bitcoin as an official means of payment in 2021. Switzerland is also exploring the possibility of integrating cryptocurrency into its financial system. Donald Trump, as the elected US President, spoke in favor of creating a Bitcoin reserve to protect the economy from inflation and instability.
Mentzen’s idea echoes the approach of Trump, who actively supported Bitcoin at his rallies. Trump emphasized the importance of regulating cryptocurrencies and their potential as a financial instrument of the future. Now, Mentzen, inspired by this example, proposes a similar solution for Poland.
Creating a Bitcoin reserve, according to Mentzen, can strengthen the country's economy and prepare it for the new challenges of the digital age. With the rise in the value of Bitcoin, such a move will demonstrate that Poland is ready to implement advanced technologies and use them to the benefit of its financial system.
Mentzen believes that using Bitcoin as a reserve will help Poland avoid economic instability and inflation, and also become an example for other countries in adapting to digital financial instruments.
