BITCOIN - On December 11, the Vancouver City Council approved a motion that could position the Canadian city as one of the first urban centers to embrace Bitcoin. The initiative, strongly supported by Mayor Ken Sim, aims to explore various possibilities for integrating cryptocurrency into municipal operations.
The motion, titled “Preserving the City’s Purchasing Power through Financial Reserve Diversification,” paves the way for multiple scenarios: from accepting cryptocurrency as a method of payment for taxes and municipal services to potentially converting part of the city’s reserves into Bitcoin.
The city will conduct a detailed study to assess the risks, benefits, and practical considerations of Bitcoin adoption, with a report due by the end of Q1 2025.
