On May 12, 2025, posts on X revealed that Conor McGregor, a former UFC champion and current Irish presidential candidate, is advocating for Ireland to establish a Bitcoin reserve as a step toward financial independence. McGregor, who has been vocal about his political ambitions, announced plans to meet with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele and Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser to discuss this initiative. The proposal aligns with McGregor’s broader campaign platform, which also includes immigration policy reforms. His push for a Bitcoin reserve has coincided with a surge in Bitcoin’s value, reaching $105,000, fueling debates about Ireland’s potential role in cryptocurrency adoption. McGregor’s campaign continues to draw attention, blending his celebrity status with innovative financial ideas, as he aims to reshape Ireland’s economic future if elected in the November 2025 presidential election.
