Austrian newspaper: "A Bitcoin reserve is inevitable for Austria" (Die Presse, 9.8.2025)
In der österreichischen Tageszeitung "Die Presse" ist am Wochenende ein Plädoyer für eine staatliche Bitcoin-Reserve erschienen.
Eine Bitcoin-Reserve ist für Österreich unausweichlich, so der Titel. Ein Gastkommentar von Christoph Kletzer, Professor für Recht und Rechtsphilosophie am King’s College London und Global Professor of Law an der Notre Dame University.
Zentrales Argument ist, dass Bitcoin auf dem Weg ist eine etablierte Reserve-Währung zu werden und spätestens bei der nächsten Währungs- und Staatsschuldenkrise, die ebenfalls unausweichlich ist, ein notwendiges Asset für Notenbanken werden wird.
In der EU ist Tschechien trotz massivem Widerstand der EZB Vorreiter, eine staatliche Bitcoin-Reserve anzulegen. Auch die USA und Kleinstaaten wie Bhutan und El Salvador werden in dem Zusammenhang genannt. Und auch klassische Investmentbanken, ehemalige Bitcoin-Kritiker und ETFs sind schon längst auf den Bitcoin-Zug aufgesprungen.
Gegen die beiden Furien der Inflation und Staatsschulden hilft letztlich nur Knappheit und damit Bitcoin, das sogar Gold in dieser Hinsicht überlegen ist.
Österreich sollte diesen geldpolitischen Wendepunkt nicht verschlafen.
Was sagt ihr dazu? Wendepunkt in der Berichterstattung über Bitcoin in den Mainstream-Medien?

The Austrian daily newspaper “Die Presse” published an article over the weekend advocating for a national Bitcoin reserve.
The headline reads: “A Bitcoin reserve is inevitable for Austria.” The article is a guest commentary by Christoph Kletzer, Professor of Law and Legal Philosophy at King's College London and Global Professor of Law at Notre Dame University.
The central argument is that Bitcoin is on its way to becoming an established reserve currency and will become a necessary asset for central banks at the latest during the next currency and sovereign debt crisis, which is also inevitable.
In the EU, the Czech Republic is a pioneer in creating a state Bitcoin reserve, despite massive resistance from the ECB. The US and small states such as Bhutan and El Salvador are also mentioned in this context. And even traditional investment banks, former Bitcoin critics, and ETFs have long since jumped on the Bitcoin bandwagon.
Ultimately, the only thing that can help against the twin scourges of inflation and government debt is scarcity, and thus Bitcoin, which is even superior to gold in this respect.
Austria should not sleep through this monetary policy turning point and act accordingly.
What do you think? A turning point in Bitcoin reporting in European mainstream media?

That Bitcoin is a reserve asset like gold is inevitable.
Das wäre was! 🇦🇹
It is crucial for a state to have at least a BTC reserve
It's pretty interesting to see mainstream media finally taking Bitcoin seriously as a national asset, a decade ago, it was a war against it. Eventually it's going to be total and absolute change in traditional finance if more countries follow suit
It was something that had to happen.
Sollten alle EU Staaten machen, nicht immer bei allem hinterher hängen sondern endlich mal Vorreiter sein.
I'm thinking that anyone that's not looking in the direction of Bitcoin will eventually be sidelined in due time when Bitcoin would've taken over the world. It's a matter of time.

I think this makes a lot of sense. If other countries are already preparing for Bitcoin to play a big role in the future, Austria should also take it seriously. Having a national Bitcoin reserve could be a smart move to protect the economy in the long run.
