The Office of the Vice President of Indonesia recently held a meeting with representatives of Bitcoin Indonesia, an organization actively involved in education in the field of digital assets. One of the key points of discussion was the idea of creating a national reserve in bitcoins, including through domestic mining using renewable energy sources.
The parties considered the possibility of using hydro and geothermal resources, which Indonesia has in abundance. In particular, the country is seeing growth in the field of green energy - according to official data, this sector increased by 17.2% in 2024. Such a base, according to the meeting participants, can become the foundation for sustainable and environmentally friendly mining.
Bitcoin Indonesia made a presentation in which it proposed considering mining as a tool for replenishing the national crypto reserve. As noted by the organization's representatives, such an approach can play a strategic role in the country's long-term economic development.
The presentation also mentioned the forecasts of Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, who previously stated that by 2045 the price of one bitcoin could exceed $13 million. This scenario is presented as a possible long-term advantage for states that have started accumulating digital assets in advance.
At the end of the meeting, Bitcoin Indonesia representatives handed over thematic literature and expressed their willingness to facilitate educational projects. According to the organization, the vice president and his team showed interest in the proposed concept and supported the initiative to improve financial literacy in the field of cryptoeconomics.
However, Bitcoin Indonesia later clarified that the discussion was informal. At the moment, the Indonesian government has not developed specific decisions on launching a national bitcoin reserve.
Recall that the country has had a ban on the use of cryptocurrencies as a means of payment since 2017. However, since 2019, digital assets have been recognized as a commodity, which has allowed them to be partially integrated into the financial system. Moreover, since the end of July 2025, taxes for traders have been increased in Indonesia, which indicates the authorities' desire to establish a clearer framework for regulating the crypto market.
Despite the tightening of rules, industry participants see this as a positive step - it demonstrates the state's interest in the development of digital assets in the legal field.
