Poland Bitcoin Reserve Overview
Poland does not hold sovereign Bitcoin reserves. Presidential candidate Sลawomir Mentzen made establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve a campaign promise in early 2025, modeled on the U.S. Executive Order. NBP has not adopted the proposal. President Karol Nawrocki has vetoed the government's MiCA crypto-licensing bill three times (December 2025, February 2026 and June 2026), and parliament has failed to override the vetoes, so Poland still has no designated crypto supervisor under the EU rules.
Policy Highlights
- MiCA framework in effect December 2024
- KNF supervises crypto-asset service providers
- Strategic Bitcoin Reserve raised as political proposal (not yet legislated)
- Crypto trading taxed at 19% capital gains rate
