Lawmakers have reportedly introduced a comprehensive crypto bill proposal in the French Parliament that could establish a national Bitcoin (BTC) reserve and boost the industry\u2019s adoption in the country.<\/p>\n

Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Proposal<\/h2>\n

On Tuesday, the Union of the Right for the Republic (UDR) party, led by Eric Ciotti, was set to introduce a pro-crypto bill in the French Parliament to address three key areas of France\u2019s crypto ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Gregory Raymond, co-founder of The Big Whale, shared<\/a> the news on X, noting that this is the first time such comprehensive legislation has been introduced in the country. \u201cThis text contains several proposals that the sector has championed for many years, as well as other unprecedented ones,\u201d he stated, noting that it follows the steps of US President Donald Trump, \u201cwhose commitment to this issue has helped attract a new electorate that few had previously courted.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the post, the main policy proposed<\/a> a French Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) with the creation of a Public Administrative Establishment (EPA) to diversify foreign exchange reserves and protect the country\u2019s financial sovereignty by building a \u201cnational digital gold\u201d reserve.<\/p>\n

The EPA would be dedicated to holding and managing 2% of the total Bitcoin supply, or 420,000 BTC, within the next 7-8 years. Notably, the strategic reserve would be funded by public Bitcoin mining using surplus nuclear and hydroelectric power.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the text proposed using systematic retention of BTC seized during legal proceedings, payments of taxes made in Bitcoin, and the allocation of \u201ca quarter of the amounts collected through the Livret A and LDDS savings schemes\u201d for daily BTC purchases on the secondary market to fund the strategic reserve.<\/p>\n

Crypto Bill Tackles Stablecoins, Industry Support<\/h2>\n

The bill also encourages euro-denominated stablecoins, recognizing these digital assets as a credible alternative to traditional payment systems and proposing key regulations for the sector. Among the proposals, the text suggested a \u20ac200 daily cap for euro-pegged stablecoins<\/a>, which would be exempt from taxation and social contributions. It would also authorize the use of euro-denominated stablecoins for paying taxes.<\/p>\n

The policy reportedly aims to ease the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) to facilitate the issuance of stablecoins by European banks and companies, a topic recently discussed<\/a> by the global watchdogs. At the same time, it seeks to oppose the euro-based Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) at the EU Council, which is considered to centralize and pose a threat to financial freedom.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the proposed legislation also addresses energy and financial barriers, adapting electricity taxation for crypto mining by creating a progressive, dynamic excise duty based on price tiers, experimenting with flexible TURPE tariffs for flexible and adjustable consumer sites, and integrating Bitcoin and other crypto assets into the stock savings plan (PEA) via exchange-traded notes.<\/p>\n

In his X post, Raymond explained that the proposed bill\u2019s chances of passing are low, as it is an independent legislative proposal unrelated to the Finance Bill currently in the French parliament and was designed without the collaboration of other political parties. \u201cIt therefore has little chance of being adopted by the Parliamentary Bureau due to the UDR\u2019s limited weight in the chamber (16 MPs out of 577),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, he affirmed that despite the extremely low probability of advancing, it demonstrates UDR\u2019s \u201cambition to position itself as the party best able to defend the interests of the French crypto ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n
