- Luxembourg allocates 1% of its sovereign wealth fund to Bitcoin as a long-term strategic move.
- Officials confirm Bitcoin as the fund’s only crypto asset, citing “there is no second best.”
- The nation expands its digital finance strategy while strengthening its role in global financial services.
Luxembourg has taken a firm step into sovereign Bitcoin adoption with a confirmed allocation through its Intergenerational Sovereign Wealth Fund. The move signals a long-term policy choice as leaders describe the investment as deliberate and strategic. Officials reaffirm plans to expand digital finance as part of the country’s broader economic agenda.
Luxembourg Confirms Bitcoin as Sole Crypto Asset in Its Sovereign Fund
Luxembourg’s Finance Ministry reports that the sovereign wealth fund has placed 1% of its assets into Bitcoin. The allocation totals about €7 million and forms part of a measured strategy for long-term digital asset exposure. Officials say the investment is executed and now fully operational.
Finance Minister Gilles Roth stressed this position during the Bitcoin Amsterdam 2025 event. He stated that the fund has the ability to hold multiple crypto assets yet “has chosen to invest only in Bitcoin.” Roth referred to Michael Saylor’s view that “there is no second best,” which shaped part of the policy discussion.
The minister closed his remarks with: “Let me be clear: Luxembourg HODLs.” He added that the country intends to stay among early adopters of sovereign Bitcoin positions. The government maintains its preference for structured expansion in digital finance rather than short-term trading.
Digital Finance Strategy Expands as Market Watches Sovereign Bitcoin Adoption
Luxembourg positions itself as a global hub for cross-border financial services and digital asset infrastructure. The country manages more than €7.6 trillion in investment funds and continues to attract fintech firms involved in payments, tokenization, and regulatory services.
Officials confirm ongoing engagement with international financial bodies to explore digital settlement frameworks. The government prepares more regulatory clarity for digital instruments as part of its strategy to build a stable digital finance ecosystem. Authorities describe Bitcoin as “digital gold” within this policy direction.
Luxembourg once labeled crypto businesses as high-risk in its 2025 report, yet it now expands its approach after years of supervision and industry development. The nation regulated Bitstamp nearly a decade ago and has since grown its digital finance sector. Government communication indicates that further integration of digital assets remains planned.
