Sarah Knafo, a French lawmaker who’s part of a far-right political group, Reconquête!, wants the bloc to copy U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign promise by creating a Bitcoin strategic reserve.

Speaking in Brussels, she declared “it is time to protect our people from inflation and the poor economic choices of our states.” She then echoed her remarks on X, formerly known as Twitter.

She also warned the European Central Bank’s hopes of rolling out a CBDC could lead to a “dystopian world” where transactions are controlled and citizens are debanked for controversial comments on social media.

“It is time to bet on freedom,” Knafo said.

Her speech comes as U.S. attitudes to Bitcoin undergo huge changes, with years of skepticism and regulatory uncertainty coming to an end.

Trump has unveiled plans to create a Bitcoin strategic reserve, meaning $20 billion worth of BTC that’s been seized by criminals would be preserved as an investment for the American people.
