Indonesia Explores Bitcoin Reserves in Bid for Economic Sovereignty

Indonesia is studying Bitcoin as part of its national economic strategy. Bitcoin Indonesia, a key industry player, met with senior officials—including the Vice President’s team—to outline how Bitcoin mining and reserves could enhance long-term financial stability.

The proposal highlights Indonesia’s vast renewable energy resources, positioning Bitcoin mining as a sustainable industry that could drive job growth. As the 16th-largest global economy, Indonesia’s pivot toward Bitcoin could inspire other resource-rich nations to diversify reserves beyond gold and fiat.

While still exploratory, the discussions signal Indonesia’s willingness to embrace alternative financial systems—a move that could redefine its role in the global digital economy.
