Kyrgyzstan has passed a bill to create a state cryptocurrency reserve and support the digital asset sector. Lawmakers approved amendments to the “On virtual assets” bill in three readings at once, introducing terms such as “state crypto reserve” and “state mining,” the parliament said today (Wednesday).

Legal Framework for Stablecoins and Tokenized Assets

The bill, presented by Economy and Commerce Minister Bakyt Sydykov, outlines a legal framework for stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets, and state-run crypto operations.

Sydykov said the reserve would allow the state to hold assets through mining, tokenization , and fiat-backed stablecoins. He added that the initiative could increase financial stability by diversifying accumulation instruments.

Mining Regulations Clarified

The minister clarified that the government would follow existing mining tariffs and would not use thermal power plants for mining. “The main purpose of the thermal power plant and Kambar-Ata-1 is not mining,” he said.

State-Backed Crypto Initiatives Abroad

Meanwhile, the U.S. and Kazakhstan have also introduced state-backed crypto initiatives. The U.S. has established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile, while Kazakhstan has proposed a national crypto fund under its central bank and is developing legislation and a city for crypto-based transactions.

Digital Assets Enter National Reserve Strategies

Global finance is undergoing change, with countries re-evaluating their strategic reserves. Traditionally based on gold, foreign currencies, and sovereign debt, some nations are now considering digital assets like Bitcoin.

After the U.S. initiative, other countries—including Switzerland, Poland, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan—have explored limited Bitcoin allocations or regulatory frameworks. While official holdings remain small, these developments indicate a growing recognition of Bitcoin’s potential role in national financial strategy and a shift toward incorporating decentralized digital assets into reserve planning.
