Irish Bitcoin reserve — that’s the bold idea UFC star Conor McGregor shared this week, calling on Ireland to adopt a national Bitcoin strategy. In a viral post that quickly surpassed 500,000 views, McGregor emphasized Bitcoin’s power to return control of money to the people.
“Bitcoin was created to give power back to the people. An Irish Bitcoin reserve will return power to the people’s money,” McGregor wrote.
“Victory for Ireland!”
His call goes far beyond celebrity endorsement. McGregor’s plan highlights a growing trend where countries consider Bitcoin not just as an investment—but as a national asset.
Why an Irish Bitcoin Reserve Matters
An Irish Bitcoin reserve could help the country reduce dependence on fiat currencies and global financial volatility. McGregor’s post made it clear: he’s not just supporting crypto, he’s inviting national leaders to act.
His proposal echoes developments worldwide. Russia has already announced plans to diversify its reserves with Bitcoin by 2028. The Czech Republic is evaluating this idea. Even Switzerland, despite rejecting the move, seriously considered it.
If Ireland joins this trend, it could position itself as a crypto-forward nation—especially in the eyes of global investors and innovators.
Public Support and Global Influence
McGregor’s push for an Irish Bitcoin reserve isn’t an isolated comment. He promised to keep speaking on the issue and urged followers to support the cause. When public figures like him take a clear stand, political conversations often follow.
In Poland, presidential candidate Slawomir Mentzen proposed a national Bitcoin reserve. In the U.S., Miami and El Salvador already integrate Bitcoin into public finance. Ireland could be next—if the idea gains political traction.
Can a Bitcoin Reserve Help Ireland?
Supporters of an Irish Bitcoin reserve believe it would:
-
Serve as a hedge against inflation
-
Provide a decentralized alternative to fiat reserves
-
Attract blockchain developers and crypto startups
-
Boost Ireland’s status in Web3 innovation
Critics argue that Bitcoin’s volatility makes it risky. But long-term holders point out its deflationary nature and growing institutional adoption.
Either way, McGregor has sparked a conversation that may reach Ireland’s parliament sooner than expected.
