When asked if he would consider establishing a Bitcoin reserve, Mentzen reiterated his position that Poland would become more crypto-friendly if he was elected president in a statement to X on November 17.
He stated that Poland ought to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
“Poland will become a cryptocurrency haven with very benevolent regulations, low taxes, and a supportive attitude from banks and regulators if I am elected president.” Mentzen continued, “BTC to the Moon.“
In a previous post, Lech Wilczynski, the CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange Swap.ly, released the open-source Strategic Bitcoin Reserve model policy developed by the Satoshi Action Fund, a crypto advocacy group, and asked Mentzen if, if elected, he would implement the plan.
“You can use the draft bill on the strategic Bitcoin reserve. There’s no reason to wait.
Wilczynski stated that before it’s too late, this should be done before enacting a ridiculous bill about cryptocurrency assets.
He went on to ask if President Sławomir Mentzen would try to establish a strategic reserve in Poland.
“Of course,” Mentzen said, he would.
