The bill, set to be presented by UDR President Éric Ciotti to the French National Assembly, proposes that the government acquire roughly 420,000 BTC over the next seven to eight years to strengthen financial sovereignty and hedge against global monetary instability.
The proposal also outlines plans to power Bitcoin mining with France’s nuclear and hydroelectric energy, aligning with the country’s clean energy goals. France’s Capital B treasury, which already holds over 2,200 BTC, is positioned to lead the initiative.
This move follows France’s earlier five-year Bitcoin mining plan, launched in July to utilize surplus electricity and generate up to $150 million in revenue. The legislation could position France as a global pioneer in state-backed Bitcoin accumulation.
