Franklin Templeton Predicts Rising Global Bitcoin Reserves in 2025

Franklin Templeton predicts that Bitcoin reserves will rise significantly by 2025, citing growing adoption by institutions and governments as key drivers of this trend. Recent developments in Hong Kong and Germany suggest that Bitcoin may soon become a major part of national reserves.

Countries Express Growing Interest in Bitcoin Reserves

Hong Kong has shown signs of adopting Bitcoin for national reserves. Wu Jiexhuang, a member of the Legislative Council, proposed adding Bitcoin to improve financial stability. 

Jiexhuang pointed to El Salvador and Bhutan as examples of countries benefiting from Bitcoin reserves. He highlighted the impact of the United States approving spot Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year.

Jiexhuang also referenced US President-elect Donald Trump’s proposal to classify Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. Supporters believe this move could disrupt traditional markets and solidify Bitcoin’s importance in global reserves.

Bitcoin’s Growing Influence on Global Finance

Germany’s Free Democratic Party (FDP) has also supported Bitcoin as a reserve option. The party’s 2025 election platform encourages the European Central Bank and Bundesbank to consider Bitcoin for financial resilience. 

Christian Lindner, the FDP leader, criticized the government for missing cryptocurrency opportunities, urging faster innovation. Franklin Templeton expects Bitcoin to become a trusted global asset by 2025. 

The rise in institutional confidence and sovereign adoption signals a broader acceptance of Bitcoin as a strategic tool. As more countries explore Bitcoin reserves, its role in global finance may grow stronger than ever.
