France Lawmaker Pushes Plan to Make Bitcoin a National Asset

French lawmaker Éric Ciotti announces a bold plan to make Bitcoin part of the nation’s financial foundation. His newly proposed bill calls for France to treat Bitcoin as a strategic national asset similar to “digital gold” and integrate it into the country’s economy.

The proposal, presented to the National Assembly in October 2025, positions France as a potential European leader in adopting digital assets.

Details of the Bitcoin Bill

The bill, led by Ciotti and the Union of the Right and Center Party (UDR), proposes creating a national Bitcoin Strategic Reserve. The plan aims to acquire up to 2% of the total Bitcoin supply, about 420,000 BTC, over the next 7–8 years, making France the first European country to treat Bitcoin as “digital gold.”
