Overview

• Motion 2025/26:793, filed on Oct. 1 by Dennis Dioukarev and David Perez of the Swedish Democrats, asks the government to examine a strategic Bitcoin reserve as a diversification and inflation hedge.
• The proposal would transfer Bitcoin confiscated by law enforcement to the Riksbank or another authority instead of auctioning it, aiming to build holdings without new budget outlays.
• Sweden reports no public Bitcoin reserves to date, while authorities have seized about $8.3–$8.4 million in assets under a November 2024 law permitting the confiscation of crypto and luxury items.
• The motion seeks a government commitment not to launch a CBDC under the Riksbank Act, arguing this would preserve Bitcoin’s current legal treatment.
• Backers frame the move within a broader international trend, citing efforts such as the U.S. GENIUS Act and examples of governments accumulating Bitcoin through seizures.
