Could Bitcoin Become a National Defense Asset?

Taiwan is being urged to reconsider Bitcoin as part of its national reserves — not just for finance, but for geopolitical survival. The argument is simple: in extreme scenarios like blockades or conflict, traditional assets such as gold or foreign currency reserves could become inaccessible, while Bitcoin remains usable anywhere with internet access.

This idea reframes Bitcoin entirely. It’s no longer just an investment — it’s being positioned as a form of “digital resilience.” In a world of increasing geopolitical uncertainty, countries may start thinking less about returns and more about access and control over their assets.
