South African Bitcoin Strategic Reserve: MK Party's Vision
summary
Proposal: South Africa allocates 4–5% of reserves (~R50bn) into Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, arguing limited 21 million supply and decentralization prevent manipulation and hedge inflation. Cites national debt at 72.2% of GDP (projected 83.6% by 2029) and points to El Salvador repaid $800m bond after Bitcoin adoption. Recommends building pro‑Bitcoin public infrastructure and messaging, enabling people to start with 100 Rand on Luno or VAL as savings, and expects reduced debt servicing and greater transparency.
