Luxembourg has invested 1% of the assets of its Intergenerational National Wealth Fund — 7 million EUR — exclusively in bitcoin.
The authorities have stated that BTC could become the basis of the future financial system and are seeking to make the country one of the first states to officially adopt bitcoin through a state fund.

Luxembourg has decided to invest exclusively in bitcoin for its Intergenerational National Wealth Fund (FSIL) and does not plan to expand its investments in other digital assets.

The country has already allocated 1% of its assets — about 7 EUR million — to bitcoin. At the Bitcoin Amsterdam 2025 conference, Finance Minister Gilles Roth emphasized that Luxembourg aims to be one of the first countries to officially accept bitcoin through its fund.

In X, the minister wrote that bitcoin could become the basis for the future of finance — more secure, open, and competitive. He added:

“Over the past decade, we have built a trusty tone for Bitcoin and digital assets. In fact, the nation regulated the very first European crypto exchange, Bitstamp, nearly a decade ago.”

Luxembourg is one of the world’s largest cross-border investment centers, managing assets worth over 7,6 trillion EUR. In recent years, many international fintech companies have emerged in the country. According to Roth, they operate as payment gateways, tokenization platforms, and regulatory services for clients around the world.

In its 2025 risk report, Luxembourg classified crypto companies as “high-risk” organizations associated with money laundering. The study emphasizes that virtual asset service providers (VASPs) often operate in a decentralized environment, which makes supervision difficult.

In June, the Coinbase crypto exchange received an EU MiCA license in Luxembourg, allowing it to provide services throughout the European Union. However, it is expected that its activities within the country will be limited.
