According to Decrypt, Swedish political attention to bitcoin continues to rise. After MP Rickard Nordin called on the government to reassess its bitcoin reserve strategy last week, another Swedish Democrat MP Dennis Dioukarev spoke out on the issue this week. On Monday, Mr. Dioukarev submitted a formal question to Elisabeth Svantesson, the finance minister, suggesting that Sweden follow the lead of countries such as the US and build up a national bitcoin reserve, including through asset confiscation. "This trend has already been seen in many countries," he said, referring specifically to cases in which the US government has used confiscated funds to build up bitcoin reserves and asking "whether the Treasury has considered such an option".
