France's Bitcoin Ambition: Lawmaker Invites Jan3 CEO to Discuss National BTC Reserves

When Nation-States Stack Sats
This week brought a plot twist worthy of a financial thriller: French European Parliament member Sarah Knafo extended an official invitation to Jan3 CEO Samson Mow - the architect behind El Salvador’s Bitcoin adoption playbook - to discuss creating a “strategic Bitcoin reserve” for France.
The Irony Isn’t Lost on Me As someone who remembers France spearheading MiCA regulations (often criticized as overreach), watching policymakers court Bitcoin maximalists feels like witnessing Tesla dealers buying oil futures. Yet the numbers speak: France’s state-owned bank Bpifrance just deployed $27M into local crypto ventures, while Blockchain Group now holds 1,471 BTC in corporate treasury.
The Macro Calculus Behind Crypto Reserves
Having modeled sovereign risk scenarios for eight years, I see three strategic motives:
- Currency Hedging: With ECB balance sheets bloated to €7T, BTC offers an asymmetric hedge against euro devaluation
- Tech Sovereignty: Unlike dollar-dominated gold reserves, Bitcoin provides settlement finality outside SWIFT
- First-Mover Advantage: Early adopter nations may influence forthcoming EU crypto asset policies
Regulatory Tightrope Walk
The real test comes when Mow’s proof-of-work evangelism meets Parisian bureaucracy. Can France reconcile:
- Anti-money laundering directives with Bitcoin’s permissionless nature?
- Energy transition goals with PoW mining debates?
- EU fiscal unity with national crypto strategies?
My prediction? We’re witnessing phase one of continental adoption - first comes discussion, then discreet accumulation, finally regulatory accommodation. Just don’t expect President Macron to laser-eye tweet… yet.

فرانس کی بٹ کوین کی دوڑ
کیا آپ نے سوچا تھا کہ فرانس، جس نے MiCA ریگولیشنز کو فروغ دیا، اب بٹ کوین میکسیلسٹس کو دعوت دے رہا ہے؟ یہ ایسے ہی ہے جیسے ٹیسلا ڈیلرز تیل کے فیوچرز خرید رہے ہوں!
عدد بتاتے ہیں
Bpifrance نے $27M کرپٹو میں لگائے ہیں اور Blockchain Group کے پاس 1,471 BTC ہیں۔ کیا فرانس واقعی بٹ کوین ریزرو بنانے جا رہا ہے؟
تبصرہ کریں!
آپ کے خیال میں فرانس کی یہ چال کارگر ثابت ہوگی یا پھر یہ ایک اور مالی تجربہ ہوگا؟ نیچے تبصرہ کر کے بتائیں!

Pháp cũng muốn ‘stack sats’ như El Salvador?
Thật hài hước khi thấy Pháp, từng là người ủng hộ quy định MiCA nghiêm ngặt, giờ lại mời CEO Jan3 để bàn về dự trữ Bitcoin. Như thể Tesla đột nhiên đầu tư vào dầu vậy! 😆
Tiền pháp định vs. Bitcoin: Ai thắng?
Với ECB đang in tiền không ngừng, có lẽ Pháp đang tìm cách ‘đa dạng hóa’ bằng BTC. Nhưng liệu họ có thể cân bằng giữa quy định và bản chất phi tập trung của Bitcoin? 🤔
Các bạn nghĩ sao? Comment ngay nhé!

“유로보다 BTC가 나을까?”
프랑스 의원이 엘살바도르의 비트코인 전략가를 초청했다니… MiCA 규제로 유명한 프랑스가 이제 비트코인 국가 준비금을 논의한다고?
“7조 유로 vs 1471 BTC”
ECB의 부풀어 오른 잔고를 보며 프랑스도 눈치채긴 모양이네요. 블록체인 그룹은 이미 1,471 BTC를 보유 중인데, 이제 국가 차원에서 손대려는 걸 보니…
진지한 질문: 마크롱 대통령이 레이저 눈 프로필로 바뀔 날이 머지않았다는 뜻일까요? 🤔 (여러분의 예측은?)

Von CFA zu BTC: Frankreichs finanzielles Paradox
Wer hätte gedacht, dass ausgerechnet Frankreich – die Heimat der MiCA-Regulierungen – jetzt Bitcoin-Reserven erwägt? Das ist, als würde ein Veganer plötzlich Foie gras anbieten!
Die Ironie der Geschichte Bpifrance investiert 27M$ in Krypto, während Blockchain Group schon 1.471 BTC hält. Offenbar hat man die Rechnung ohne den Euro gemacht – denn bei 7 Billionen ECB-Bilanz braucht’s wohl wirklich eine ‘asymmetrische Absicherung’.
Regulierungs-Tango in Paris Mal sehen, wie Mows Proof-of-Work-Evangelium mit französischer Bürokratie kollidiert. Wetten, dass am Ende ein Kompromiss herauskommt: Bitcoin ja, aber nur mit Rotwein und Dreigänge-Menü?
Was denkt ihr – wird Macron als nächstes Laser-Augen twittern? 🍷🚀 #BitcoinBaguette

Francia at Bitcoin: Love Story o Business Deal?
Akala ko ba anti-crypto ang France dahil sa MiCA? Ngayon, iniimbitahan nila ang CEO ng Jan3 para pag-usapan ang BTC reserves! Parang nanliligaw ang bigla. 😂
Strategic Move o Desperation?
Sa halip na gold reserves, Bitcoin na ang gusto? Mukhang natuto sila kay El Salvador! Pero teka, paano nila irereconcile ang energy concerns sa PoW mining? Abangan ang susunod na kabanata!
Kayong mga crypto investors diyan, ready na ba kayo sa European FOMO? Comment niyo na ang predictions niyo!

ফ্রান্স কি এবার বিটকয়েনে ঝাঁপিয়ে পড়বে?
সারা কনাফো যখন এল সালভাদরের বিটকয়েন গুরুকে ডাকছেন, তখন মনে হচ্ছে ফ্রান্সের ব্যাংকাররা হয়তো গোপনে ক্রিপ্টো ট্রেডিং শিখছে! ২০২২ সালে যারা MiCA রেগুলেশন নিয়ে বিতর্ক করেছিল, তারাই এখন ১৪৭১ বিটকয়েন জমা করেছে - এটা ঠিক সেইরকম যেমন চা বিক্রেতা suddenly কফি শপ খুলবে!
ইউরোর বদলে BTC?
ECB যখন ৭ ট্রিলিয়ন ইউরো ছাপাচ্ছে, তখন ফ্রান্সের এই moveটা আসলে খুব smart। কিন্তু প্রশ্ন হলো - প্যারিসের আমলারা কি proof-of-work আর proof-of-bureaucracy-র মধ্যে balance করতে পারবে?
আপনার কী মনে হয়? Macron কি আসলেই laser-eye Twitter profile picture নেবেন? কমেন্টে জানান!

Dari Larangin ke Beli Prancis yang dulu galak sama MiCA sekarang malah ngajak CEO Jan3 ngobrolin cadangan Bitcoin. Kayak polisi lalu lintas tiba-tiba nawarin SIM ke pembalap liar!
Hedging ala Macron ECB punya utang €7T, jadi daripada euro jadi kertas tissue, mending diversifikasi ke BTC. Tapi gimana mau mining kalau Paris lagi demam hemat energi?
Pertaruhan Birokrasi Nanti lucu liat Mow jelasin proof-of-work ke menteri Prancis yang masih pakai fax machine. Komprominya apa? Mining pake anggur Bordeaux?
