January 8th — Brazilian presidential candidate Renan Santos recently proposed Brazil should explore establishing a national strategic Bitcoin reserve, deeming the initiative “feasible” and already including it in his campaign platform. Santos, founder of the newly launched Mission Party (Partido Missão) and co-founder of the right-wing Free Brazil Movement, has openly expressed his desire to emulate Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele’s Bitcoin policy and anti-corruption agenda. In recent years, discussions about integrating Bitcoin into Brazil’s national treasury reserves have gained traction, with Congress holding hearings on the matter. Santos also noted blockchain technology can serve as a critical anti-corruption tool for the public sector, helping boost financial transparency. (Source: DL News)
