Japanese Government Responds to Bitcoin Reserve Plan: Cryptocurrency Volatility Does Not Align with Current Foreign Exchange Reserve System

The Japanese government recently formally responded to inquiries from Senator Satoshi Hamada regarding the latest developments in the US and other countries promoting Bitcoin reserves. The written response was issued in the name of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, clarifying the government's stance on the possibility of holding cryptocurrency as reserves.
Senator Hamada stated on the 11th of this month, "I believe Japan should follow the US and consider investing some foreign exchange reserves in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin," and sought the government's opinion on this. The response indicated that Japan currently has no understanding of the movements of the US and other countries regarding Bitcoin reserves, as these plans are still in discussion, making it "difficult for the government to express its views."
Furthermore, under the legal framework for special account operations, "cryptocurrencies do not fall under the category of foreign exchange," and the current foreign exchange reserves are aimed at stabilizing foreign currency assets and foreign currency bond markets.
The response emphasized multiple times that the management of special accounts prioritizes the safety and liquidity of foreign exchange reserves. This indicates the government's recognition that the volatility (price fluctuations) of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, is inconsistent with the current system.
Prime Minister Ishiba's official response again indicates that as discussions progress regarding the inclusion of cryptocurrencies in national reserve strategies, the Japanese government remains cautious.

Hester Peirce, a U.S. SEC commissioner who will remain in office after President Trump is inaugurated on January 20, stated that there should be a significant shift in how the SEC handles the crypto industry after Gary Gensler's departure: "We have a large toolkit, and we have previously leaned towards enforcement as the preferred tool.
