Slawomir Mentzen, the KORWiN party’s presidential candidate from Poland, called for Poland to establish its own strategic Bitcoin reserve in a post on the X platform on November 18. It’s interesting to note that Mentzen suggested supporting the establishment of this reserve with national banks and crypto-friendly policies. He wrote:
“Poland will become a cryptocurrency haven with very benevolent regulations, low taxes, and a supportive attitude from banks and regulators if I am elected president.” Bitcoin to the Moon!

Poland is expected to hold elections in May 2025; thus, an early campaign for Bitcoin could change how the elections unfold in the upcoming months. Slawomir Mentzen can make a big impact on this Bitcoin drive while being the candidate of a little party.
The Bitcoin Game Theory, according to several market observers, will soon be implemented across nation-states, quickly causing a snowball effect. Bitcoin figures in the US, such as Michael Saylor and Cynthia Lummis, have started discussions with President-elect Donald Trump. They have highlighted the potential value of holding a Bitcoin reserve and suggested it could help reduce the US national debt by approximately $16 trillion.
Nation-state leaders now view Bitcoin as an essential reserve asset, much like gold. Additionally, Senator Cynthia Lummis suggested that state-federal banks sell a portion of the gold and use the money raised to purchase Bitcoin.
