Could Bitcoin be the future of Ireland’s financial independence? Conor McGregor thinks so.
The UFC champion has urged Ireland to set up a Bitcoin -Strategic reserve at Ireland, with the argument that it could help to give the financial power back to people. His daring call on social media is bound by the core values Bitcoin is built on: decentralization and financial freedom. But the road is not easy – just ask the United States.
So the question remains – will Ireland take the leap?
Appeal to Ireland
McGregor is no stranger to making a sound. He recently seems to have shifted the focus from fighting to finance, encouraging Ireland to create a Bitcoin strategic reserve.
Crypto in its origin was founded to give people back to the people.
An Irish strategic reserve from Bitcoin will give the money of people power.
I will make a Twitter room cohost to talk about what I want to see changed.
Victory to Ireland!

He argued that Bitcoin was essentially designed to give power back to the people, and setting up a National Bitcoin reserve would do that exactly. And to promote his case, McGregor is planning to keep a Twitter room together to share his vision of the Crypto-Compration of Ireland.
We like to see the dedication!
Although the Irish government still has to respond officially, McGregor’s tweet has received more than 735,000 views in less than 12 hours, which proved the growing demand for Bitcoin acceptance at state level.
Bitcoin reserves: the hot topic of 2025!
2025 appears to be a decisive year for Bitcoin. Global interest in Bitcoin reserves is shot up. Germany and Switzerland have already taken steps to integrate Bitcoin into their national financial strategies, and with the reach of McGregor Ireland may not be far behind.
The push becomes impossible to ignore.
Bitcoin’s fixed delivery and the growing global use such as “digital gold” make it an attractive alternative to traditional reserve baths such as gold and oil. It is time for governments to wake up.
Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin -Reserve in the US
Although we are talking about the subject, it is difficult not to raise the flag carrier of reserves in the US.
In March, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to set up a strategic Bitcoin reserve as part of a broader digital assets stock.
This step promises to be Trump’s campaign in accordance with the US to turn the US into the “global hub for digital assets” and to reduce the regulations imposed under the previous administration.
And progress (although slow) is underway.
American states are taking part in the race to stack Bitcoin
Within just 48 hours, New Hampshire and Arizona became the first US states to set up Bitcoin reserves at state level. Arizona, led by Governor Katie Hobbs, approved a law that converted non -displayed ownership funds into Bitcoin.
This is an important step forward in the financial strategy of the state, and it marks a dual consensus around Bitcoin as a tool for modernizing state finances.
Now other states can follow soon.
Will Ireland be the next?
So what does this mean for Ireland? McGregor’s call for a Bitcoin reserve has fueled conversations, but so far it has not led to important government action.
Now that the US is undergoing daring steps and countries around the world that are experimenting with Bitcoin reserves, Ireland has to make a decision soon.
We will keep a close eye on.
