📍Will the UK sell its Bitcoins — or use them as a Strategic Reserve asset? 🎤 Gregory Stafford MP asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she has had discussions with Cabinet colleagues on managing seized cryptocurrency assets as long-term strategic holdings, rather than liquidating them. 🎤 Lucy Rigby KC MP, The Economic Secretary to the HM Treasury said that the Proceeds of Crime Act provides a clear process for the management and realisation of seized assets, while the UK's official reserves are governed by established investment principles. There are currently no plans to amend either framework or to commission a review into the potential role of Bitcoin and other digital assets as reserve assets or in a wider financial strategy. -------- The BBA is the industry body advancing evidence-based adoption of Blockchain and Cryptoassets.
