Bitcoin News Today: Bitcoin Indonesia Meets VP Office to Discuss Economic Strategy and Crypto Education

Representatives from Bitcoin Indonesia, a prominent local community, met with the office of Indonesian Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka to explore how Bitcoin could support the country’s long-term economic strategy. The meeting, announced on August 5, 2025, marked a significant step in the engagement between the cryptocurrency community and government officials. During the discussion, the delegation outlined how Bitcoin mining could serve as a sovereign reserve strategy and emphasized the importance of national-level education on Bitcoin to strengthen financial resilience.

A core element of the meeting was the presentation of Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin investment thesis, particularly his long-term price projections. Saylor, Executive Chairman of MicroStrategy, previously forecasted that Bitcoin could reach $13 million per coin by 2045, assuming an average annual growth rate of 29% to 40%. This projection is based on factors such as institutional adoption, regulatory clarity, and Bitcoin’s fixed supply. The group also noted that Saylor raised his estimate at the BTC Prague 2025 conference, projecting a potential price of $21 million per coin by 2046.

The timing of Saylor’s 2045 projection was highlighted as symbolic, aligning with the 100th anniversary of Indonesian independence. Both the Bitcoin Indonesia team and the Vice President’s office expressed optimism about the potential of Bitcoin to shape the country’s future economic direction. Adhit, a representative from the VP’s office, emphasized the need for Indonesia to continue educating the public about Bitcoin in the future.

The meeting reflects a broader shift in Indonesia’s approach to cryptocurrency. While the country has historically shown regulatory caution, recent developments suggest a more strategic and possibly more favorable stance toward integrating Bitcoin into national economic planning. In July 2025, the government announced new tax policies, including increased crypto transaction taxes and the removal of value-added tax (VAT) for buyers. These changes indicate a more structured regulatory environment that could support the growth of a more mature cryptocurrency ecosystem.

The emphasis on Bitcoin as a tool for financial resilience and long-term value creation suggests a willingness to explore innovative economic models. However, the success of this strategy will depend on effective collaboration between the government and private sector to implement education and infrastructure initiatives that align with global trends in cryptocurrency adoption.
