Switzerland Moves to Add Bitcoin to Constitution

The proposal has moved to the review stage in the Feuille fédérale. This is Switzerland’s official government publication for legislative texts and decisions.

This isn’t just a pipe dream—this initiative is now up for signatures in the Federal Gazette. To make it a reality, supporters need to gather 100,000 signatures. If successful, the initiative will progress to a national referendum. This will give Swiss citizens the chance to vote on whether Bitcoin should become a constitutional right.

Switzerland has long embraced financial innovation, earning its nickname as the “Crypto Valley” of the world. Adding Bitcoin to the constitution could solidify its position as a leader in decentralized finance. Proponents believe this move would provide Swiss citizens with financial independence and align with the country’s values of self-determination and security.

But this isn’t just about Bitcoin enthusiasts. The initiative reflects a broader push for economic freedom and digital sovereignty. By embedding Bitcoin in the constitution, Switzerland could set a global precedent for how nations handle digital currencies.

This initiative is no small feat. Gathering 100,000 signatures will require full community support and a lot of legwork.

From local Bitcoin meetups to online campaigns, every signature will bring this vision closer to reality. As the saying goes, “It takes a village,” and in this case, it’ll take the entire crypto community.

If the required signatures are gathered, the initiative will move to a national referendum. This would make Switzerland one of the first countries to consider such a monumental step. Whether or not it succeeds, the initiative sparks a conversation about the role of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in our daily lives.
