PANews reported on April 15 that according to Decrypt, the attention of Swedish politicians to Bitcoin continues to heat up. After MP Rickard Nordin called on the government to re-evaluate its Bitcoin reserve strategy last week, another Swedish Democratic Party MP Dennis Dioukarev spoke out on the issue this week.
On Monday, Dioukarev submitted a formal inquiry to Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson, suggesting that Sweden follow the example of the United States and other countries and build a national Bitcoin reserve through asset confiscation and other means. "This trend has appeared in many countries," he said in the inquiry, specifically mentioning the case of the US government using confiscated funds to build a Bitcoin reserve, and asked "whether the Ministry of Finance has considered such a plan."
