- McGregor advocates a Bitcoin reserve for Ireland.
- Potential shift in Ireland’s economic policy.
- Sparks a debate on cryptocurrency in Ireland.
Conor McGregor has urged Ireland to adopt a Bitcoin strategic reserve, aligning with his presidential aspirations on May 9, 2025.
Former UFC champion Conor McGregor calls for Ireland to establish a Bitcoin reserve. On May 9, 2025, he shared his proposal via Twitter. McGregor aims to prioritize cryptocurrency in his political campaign.
McGregor, who announced his independent presidential candidacy, argues for financial empowerment through cryptocurrency. This initiative is part of his broader economic reform agenda for Ireland.
McGregor’s call has ignited a widespread national debate over the role of cryptocurrencies in Ireland’s financial system. His proposal has gained traction, indicating his influence and the growing interest in cryptocurrency policy.
Although the financial impact remains undetermined, aligning with global trends could potentially redefine Ireland’s economic future and underscore the role of Bitcoin as a national asset.
If Ireland adopts McGregor’s suggestion, it would join countries like El Salvador and Bhutan, which have already incorporated Bitcoin into their national reserves. This might catalyze further cryptocurrency-related policy discussions globally.
Historically, nations have viewed Bitcoin differently; however, with its increasing valuation and global acceptance, the conversation shifts to how it fits within traditional financial frameworks and wealth management strategies.
“Crypto in its origin was founded to give power back to the people. An Irish Bitcoin strategic reserve will give power to the people’s money. I will be cohosting a Twitter space to talk about what I want to see changed. Victory to Ireland!” – Conor McGregor, Former UFC Champion and Independent Presidential Candidate
