Bitcoin News: Europe Calls For Bitcoin Strategic Reserve
The global race for crypto supremacy is evidenced by the recent developments among the nations.

These developments have fueled a rally in BTC price, sending it to its ATH recently. Amid this, a recent Bitcoin Archive report showed that a European MP called for Bitcoin Strategic Reserve for Europe in a recent parliament speech.
The MP has lauded El Salvador’s move to invest heavily in BTC over the past few years.

While backing El Salvador’s BTC investment strategy, she has criticized the European Central Bank’s plan to impose a digital Euro.
She said that rather than imposing the Digital Euro, Europe should focus on financial freedom by investing in Bitcoin. In addition, she also said that the EU should consider making Bitcoin a national strategic reserve like the US.
