Yesterday at BitcoinAlive, the Libertarian Party of Australia formally announced its Bitcoin Policy Whitepaper, outlining a vision for integrating Bitcoin into Australia’s financial and regulatory landscape.

This announcement adds to the growing policy discussions around Bitcoin in Australia, and the world, following recent international developments such as the U.S. government’s establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the 33 U.S. states with similar legislation progressing through their legislatures.

The policy proposes:

✅ Legal recognition of Bitcoin as a financial asset

✅ Self-custody protections to ensure individuals can manage their Bitcoin without government interference

✅ Removal of capital gains tax (CGT) on everyday Bitcoin transactions

✅ A Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) to hedge against inflation

✅ Support for Bitcoin mining with equal access to energy markets

✅ Regulatory clarity to foster innovation and business adoption

The Australian Bitcoin Industry Body (ABIB) supports open and constructive dialogue on Bitcoin policy and regulation, advocating for frameworks that encourage financial sovereignty, innovation, and economic resilience.

The Australian Bitcoin Industry Body (ABIB) has responded to recent remarks by RBA Governor Michele Bullock, who asserted that Bitcoin “is not money” and has “no role in the Australian economy,” by offering to collaborate with the RBA to improve understanding of Bitcoin’s unique role and benefits.

ABIB proposed to provide educational resources, clarify distinctions between Bitcoin and the crypto industry, and share global examples of Bitcoin’s positive societal and economic impact. The organisation also encouraged RBA staff to review foundational materials, such as the Bitcoin Whitepaper, and invited the RBA to engage in in-person or virtual discussions to support informed policymaking and a more nuanced perspective on Bitcoin.
