Indonesia’s Vice President’s office has begun exploratory talks on the possibility of adding Bitcoin to the nation’s official reserves, according to several reports on 5 Aug 2025. The office has invited prominent Bitcoin advocates to discuss the mechanics and potential benefits of holding the cryptocurrency alongside traditional reserve assets. If adopted, Indonesia would become one of the first G20 members to place Bitcoin on its balance sheet, underscoring the digital asset’s growing appeal among sovereigns. The discussions are at an early stage and no timeline, target allocation or policy framework has been announced. The deliberations come as Coinbase Chief Executive Officer Brian Armstrong said all G20 countries are reviewing Bitcoin as a reserve option, highlighting intensifying interest in diversifying away from conventional holdings such as U.S. Treasuries and gold.
