🇬🇧 MP @EmmaforWycombe writes that the “UK government currently has no plans to adopt a strategic bitcoin reserve.”

She believes Bitcoin’s “properties as an asset nonetheless remain inconsistent with the objectives and investment principles that govern the Government's foreign exchange reserves.”

The UK government appears dead set on fumbling a bag of 61,000 BTC.

Though they use other excuses but critically studying the letter, their refusal to approve a bitcoin strategic reserve is not unconnected to bitcoin as a decentralised asset unlike other centralized assets which the UK foreign exchange policies supports. If it were anything they could have control on, the excuse could have not been there.

Similarly like Arizona , the UK are clearly missing out on the bitcoin opportunity too. Interesting.
