- Conor McGregor interferes with Irish cryptics and demands that Ireland should set up a national bitcoin reserve.
- McGregor’s Bitcoin advance increases Ireland’s public interest in his cryptocurrency potential.
The UFC star says that such a step would give back the citizens of financial control and harmonize Ireland with the global crypto trends.
His attitude is in line with the growing international interest in the integration of Bitcoin into state reserves. Although there is no official Irish statement, McGregor’s message has triggered widespread commitment and revived the crypto discussion across the country.
McGregor is committed to financial sovereignty through Bitcoin
In his post on X linked McGregor the original purpose of Bitcoin – decentralization and authorization of the citizens – with his demand for a national reserve:
“Crypto was originally created to give the people back to power. A strategic Irish Bitcoin reserve will give power to the people of the people.“
The contribution was called over 735,000 times in less than 12 hours.
The activist also announced that he will organize a Twitter space to learn more about his proposal. Although McGregor has already supported cryptocurrencies in the past, this is a clear step towards a support for state property to Bitcoin. His introduction to the discussion reflects the growing European interest in cryptocurrencies, with Germany and Switzerland already keeping Bitcoin in their national portfolios.
Cryptoanalysts say that McGregor’s influence can increase public support for the introduction of Bitcoin at government level in Ireland. In these conversations, Bitcoin is often associated with national independence and economic innovation. But will the commitment of celebrities be reflected in political changes? So far, no Irish politician has said.
Global trend is gaining momentum while Meme Coin fails
McGregor’s advance comes at a time when a broader trend in politics for digital assets worldwide is emerging. The United States recently set up its own strategic Bitcoin reserve after President Donald Trump issued a implementing regulations in March. With this step, campaign promises were fulfilled to reduce regulatory friction and to make the United States one of the leading countries for digital assets.
Just two days later, New Hampshire and Arizona became the first US states to set up Bitcoin reserves. As part of a new two -party law listed by Governor Katie Hobbs, Arizona converted into Bitcoin not claimed. This trend shows that Bitcoin is recognized as a modern financial instrument.
Despite the recent failures of coins, which are supported by celebrities-McGregor’s own coin “Real” flopped immediately after the start-the market for digital assets remains strong. The overall market capitalization of the most important memoins on May 10, 2025 was $ 59.73 billion, which corresponds to an increase of 2.34 %, and it continues to grow. However, experts keep Bitcoin more stable than Memecoins due to its limited offer and its attractiveness.
McGregor’s campaign takes advantage of and positions Bitcoin as an instruments for national financial sovereignty. Although his proposal has no formal support, he has brought Bitcoin back into the political discussion of Ireland. It remains to be seen whether the Irish set up a Bitcoin reserve. But the global trend is building up and McGregor’s message has gives him further boost.
