Overview

• Motion 2025/26:793, filed Oct. 1 by Sweden Democrats MPs Dennis Dioukarev and David Perez, asks the government to examine how a strategic Bitcoin reserve could be created and which authority should manage it.
• The proposal outlines a budget‑neutral path by transferring Bitcoin confiscated by law enforcement to the Riksbank or another designated authority instead of auctioning it.
• The motion requests a government statement that it does not intend to introduce a central bank digital currency or alter the Riksbank Act’s definition of legal tender.
• Sweden currently reports no sovereign Bitcoin holdings, and a 2024 law enabling seizures has produced roughly $8.3–$8.4 million in assets that proponents cite as a potential seed for the reserve.
• The authors argue Bitcoin could diversify reserves alongside gold and foreign exchange and reference comparable moves or discussions in the U.S., the UK, Finland, Kazakhstan and several U.S. states.
