Conor McGregor Proposes Irish Bitcoin Reserve in Bold Presidential Campaign Move

McGregor Suggests Irish Bitcoin Reserve in Presidential Bid Conor McGregor, former UFC fighter and now independent presidential candidate in Ireland’s presidential election, has come up with an idea of establishing a national Bitcoin reserve. The fighter-turned-politician presented the idea on May 9 and labeled it as a way of bringing financial power back to the people of Ireland. Crypto was initially devised to give power back to the people. An Irish Bitcoin strategic reserve will give power back to the people’s money,” McGregor tweeted on X. McGregor added that more would be announced in an upcoming X Spaces session, and there was quick reaction from within the crypto industry. Crypto Leaders Take Notice McGregor’s tweet was met with immediate response from prominent Bitcoin advocates. He responded directly to Anthony Pompliano, host of The Pomp Podcast, saying, “We need the best minds for this BTC Reserve. Message me and let’s talk on my space.” David Bailey, a crypto advisor to Donald Trump, also reached out, with McGregor embracing further dialogue: “David message me, let’s talk about your ideas!” Political Challenges for a National BTC Reserve In spite of the enthusiasm of some within the industry, McGregor’s suggestion has significant hurdles to overcome. Ireland has no history of hosting digital assets in national reserves, and McGregor’s push is not supported by any prominent political party. Countries like the U.S., El Salvador, and Bhutan have already established Bitcoin reserves — albeit typically with sweeping government infrastructure and legal reform. McGregor entered the fray in March 2025, standing on anti-immigration and anti-crime tickets. The election must be held by November 11, 2025, at the latest. Past Controversies and Crypto Failures McGregor’s offer is tainted by legal troubles. He’s battling a civil sexual assault judgment and has also faced previous hate speech investigations. His cryptocurrency reputation was dented in April when the McGregor-supported “REAL” token project fell apart, raising only $392,315 in a presale — far less than its $1 million target, with full refunds being given to investors.
