Luxembourg Sovereign Fund Makes 1% Bitcoin Allocation, First in Europe

Officials describe the move as a long-term, regulated step that leverages the country’s crypto infrastructure.

Overview

  • Finance Minister Gilles Roth said the position is already implemented and operational, announcing it at Bitcoin Amsterdam 2025.
  • The fund selected Bitcoin only despite an investment policy that permits exposure to other crypto assets.
  • The Finance Ministry frames the allocation as a prudential, non‑speculative holding intended for the long term.
  • Luxembourg cites its MiCA-aligned ecosystem, from regulated exchanges and custodians to Coinbase’s EU hub, as support for the strategy.
  • Officials indicate the decision could provide a template for other governments considering sovereign digital‑asset allocations.
