Polish presidential candidate Sławomir Mentzen has announced his commitment to create a Bitcoin reserve if elected in the upcoming 2025 elections. In a recent statement, he emphasized that Poland would transform into a cryptocurrency haven, advocating for favorable regulations, low taxes, and support from banks and regulators. This pledge is reminiscent of former US President Donald Trump's campaign promise to establish a Bitcoin stockpile. The concept of a strategic Bitcoin reserve has gained traction, with suggestions from the CEO of the crypto exchange Swap.ly, who presented a draft bill for such a reserve, urging prompt action to avoid delays. Mentzen affirmed his intention to adopt this model should he take office. Scheduled for May 2025, the Polish presidential elections have seen Mentzen rise in popularity among libertarian and right-wing voters, indicating a potential shift in Poland's approach to cryptocurrencies, similar to initiatives observed in countries like El Salvador and Bhutan, which have also amassed significant Bitcoin holdings.
