In this episode, we share an audio version of Bitcoin Policy UK’s policy paper, Bitcoin Strategies for Nation States. This paper sets out a bold strategic vision for the UK’s future role in the global Bitcoin economy and offers three core policy recommendations for government action.
The paper warns that failing to develop a Bitcoin policy today would be as negligent as ignoring the internet in the 1990s. As other nations embrace Bitcoin at the state level, the UK must choose whether to lead or fall behind.
🧭 What’s Covered
- Why the UK’s 61,000 Bitcoin are a national strategic asset
- Why preserving access to banking and fair regulation for Bitcoin businesses is essential
- How Bitcoin mining can help achieve net zero goals and unlock stranded renewable energy
- Why Bitcoin belongs alongside gold as a Treasury reserve asset
- Lessons from past mistakes, like the UK’s gold sale and Germany’s recent Bitcoin disposals
📌 Policy Recommendations
- Ensure Bitcoin businesses and holders can operate freely in the UK
- Study how Bitcoin mining can support net zero goals
- Treat Bitcoin as a strategic reserve alongside gold
