Luxembourg is the first Eurozone country to invest in bitcoin
Luxembourg's Intergenerational Sovereign Wealth Fund (FSIL) announced the investment of 1% of its holdings in bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), becoming the first country in the region to incorporate the cryptocurrency into its portfolio
The Luxembourg government announced its investment in bitcoin. Finance Minister Gilles Roth himself announced the news during the presentation of the 2026 Budget to the Chamber of Deputies.
The measure makes the country the first in the eurozone to launch a new FSIL investment policy, approved by the government in July 2025. Regarding this, Treasury Director Bob Keiffer stated: “Recognizing the growing maturity of this new asset class and reaffirming Luxembourg’s leadership in digital finance, this investment reflects the country’s long-term vision.”
With this initiative, Luxembourg joins a handful of European countries that hold Bitcoin, “although most—such as Finland, Georgia, and the United Kingdom—did so following crime-related seizures. Only Georgia, outside the eurozone, holds 66 BTC as a sovereign investment.”
With this decision, which is viewed with caution by other eurozone countries, Luxembourg “thus strengthens its position as a European leader in the crypto and blockchain ecosystem.”
