- Brazil’s proposed Strategic Reserve in Bitcoin aims to modernize the world of finance and de-link it from traditional currencies.
- The role of Bitcoin in Brazilian financial strategy is a matter of opinion that will be evaluated using input from both the state and the private spheres.
- Global crypto reserve trends are reshaping financial policies in emerging economies.
A bill could lead to the establishment of a Strategic Reserve of Bitcoin that has a scheduled hearing in the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil on Aug. 20, 2025. Federal Deputy Eros Biondini is the author of Bill 4.501/2024, and on Thursday, April 4, at 4:00 p.m., it will be the first formal debate of the text in Plenary 5 of Annex II.
The bill assumes that Brazil, with the largest Latin American economy, can diversify its national reserves, including some Bitcoin and other safe crypto-assets. This strategy is an indicator of the increased interest in digital finance by emerging economies, particularly in the face of the global volatility of traditional monetary systems.
Lawmakers to Debate Digital Currency Use
Federal Deputy Luiz Philippe de Orleans e Braganca and the Economic Development Commission (CDE) requested the hearing. It comes at the start of the new legislative session of the National Congress and represents a landmark in the debate about fiscal policy in Brazil.

The bill gained momentum in June 2025 after CDE recommended that it be further studied. Although the hearing does not mark the final approval process, it represents an important step towards Brazil’s future financial planning.
If the bill is enacted, it will enable Brazil to be among the first Latin American nations to have access to Bitcoin in its national reserves in an official capacity. This would place the country in the same sphere as other international players seeking integration of digital assets.
Experts to Share Insights on Bitcoin Strategy
Different individuals with different voices in the public and private sectors are expected to attend. Already confirmed are Diego Kolling, representing Meliusz’s Bitcoin Strategy, and Rubens Sardenberg of the Brazilian Federation of Banks (FEBRABAN). They will use their insights to focus on how Bitcoin will impact the financial organization and monetary policy in Brazil.
The central bank of Brazil, the ministry of finance, and the ministry of development, industry, commerce, and services have also been invited. If this is the case, their feedback will likely be used to influence a debate on regulation, risk, and macroeconomic implications.
The summit will also categorize the Bitcoin pool’s strengths and threats. It may discuss regulatory bottlenecks, abnormal price behaviors, and the economy’s adherence to the universality of practice.
Strategic Reserve Proposal Gains Global Attention
Efforts to create a national Strategic Reserve around Bitcoin have been compared with similar endeavors in the rest of the world. By June 2025, Texas became the first state to invest in the purchase of Bitcoin, investing 10 million dollars. Additional legislation has been enacted in other states, such as Arizona and New Hampshire, but they are waiting on funding.
France is instead contemplating investing in Bitcoin mining in its nuclear plants to secure a profit on excess energy. A proposed arrangement would earn as much as 150 million dollars in a year, turning idle power into blockchain productivity.
Brazilian bill supporters believe that financial independence and mitigation of reliance on fiat currencies can be fortified through such innovation. Opponents of digital currency are afraid that its volatility might be dangerous to countries’ stability.
A successful attempt by Brazil may set an example for other developing countries that are tempted to adopt effective laws. The August 20 hearing will assist in ascertaining whether the bill will be passed or corrected.
