Luxembourg has decided to rely solely on Bitcoin in its Sovereign Intergenerational Fund (FSIL), without however intending to diversify its investments. The country has already allocated 1% of the fund’s assets, or around 7 million euros, to invest in the currency.
During his participation in the Bitcoin Amsterdam 2025 conference, Luxembourg’s Minister of Finance, Gilles Roth, highlighted the country’s desire to become among the first to adopt Bitcoin in its sovereign wealth fund. “This currency will help shape a safer, more open and more competitive financial future,” the minister wrote on the X platform.

Believes in responsible innovation: from creating a trusted home for digital assets to being the first sovereign in Europe to invest in Bitcoin through our Sovereign Fund.

Secretary Roth clearly noted that although the fund’s investment policy allows investing in any digital asset, “only Bitcoin was chosen.” He added: “Because – as Michael Saylor said previously – there is no better alternative… and we are committed to investing for the long term,” followed by immediate applause from all in attendance.
Minister of Finance: “To be clear, Luxembourg preserves its investments without selling them. »
The minister concluded his speech with a frank position, emphasizing that the country intends to retain digital currency.
The Finance Minister said: “Let me tell you clearly: Luxembourg will keep Bitcoin. We are still at a very early stage and I am convinced that other countries will soon follow in our footsteps.”
In a related context, Luxembourg – as one of the largest international investment centers in the world – manages assets worth over €7.6 trillion. “In recent years, a wide range of international fintech companies have established themselves in Luxembourg,” added the minister. He highlighted that these companies provide payment gateway services, digital representation platforms and regulatory platforms to clients in different regions around the world.
In June, cryptocurrency trading platform Coinbase obtained a European Digital Asset Markets (MiCA) license from Luxembourg to offer its digital services across the EU. However, the platform’s planned activities in Luxembourg appear relatively limited, according to previous reports.
From classifying crypto companies as “high risk” to supporting digital assets
In its 2025 Risk Assessment Report, Luxembourg classified crypto companies as “high risk” entities when it comes to money laundering, explaining that virtual asset service providers (VASPs) often operate in decentralized environments, making them more difficult to monitor.
“Over the last decade, we have built a trusted reputation for Bitcoin and digital assets,” the minister said, adding that Luxembourg was the first European country to regulate cryptocurrency trading platform Bitstamp around a decade ago. The minister affirmed Luxembourg’s support for the sector “with the aim of making digital currencies a reliable asset class. We are convinced that the future of finance will be digital”, calling Bitcoin “digital gold”.
