Conor McGregor Supports Creating a Bitcoin Reserve in Irish Presidential Race

Dublin, Ireland – Former UFC champion and independent candidate Conor McGregor is openly backing the idea of setting up a Bitcoin reserve in Ireland. He shared this support as part of his campaign for president, focusing on cryptocurrency as a key part of his economic plans. McGregor spoke about his view during his campaign near the 2025 election, emphasizing his belief in digital currencies.

On Platform X (formerly Twitter), McGregor said cryptocurrencies were made to “give power back to the people.” He proposed that Ireland could build a Bitcoin reserve to use as a modern tool for this goal. It could help Ireland gain more control over its finances and show the world that it is open to new ways of managing wealth.

McGregor plans to give more details about the Bitcoin reserve idea in a live session on Platform X. He has been talking with well-known crypto figures, like Anthony Pompliano, a strong Bitcoin supporter, and David Bailey, who advises former U.S. President Donald Trump on cryptocurrencies.

This bold move into crypto politics comes after McGregor’s previous crypto project, Real (REAL), failed to raise enough money and was eventually shut down. Still, McGregor remains committed to blockchain technology as a major part of his run for office.

Political experts see McGregor’s plan as unusual, especially as Ireland faces many choices in today’s changing economic world. Whether voters will support a Bitcoin reserve remains uncertain. But McGregor’s push shows how politics and digital currencies are connecting more in Ireland.

His presidential bid officially starts in late 2025. More details about his ideas on the economy and tech are expected soon.
