๐ฎ๐ณ India Eyes Strategic Bitcoin Reserve?
A spokesperson for Indiaโs ruling party has proposed creating a national BTC reserve, inspired by the U.S. government's growing crypto exposure.
๐ฌ The idea: treat Bitcoin as a strategic asset in a shifting global economy.
๐ But thereโs a catch โ India still lacks clear crypto regulation. Crypto is taxed, yet remains legally undefined.
