What does this mean for Bitcoin's price?
The announcement adds a layer of legitimacy that could attract institutional flows into Bitcoin, but without concrete buying plans, the short-term price impact is limited.
Will South Korea actually buy Bitcoin?
The plan does not specify if the government will purchase digital assets; it only includes them in the management system, which might involve existing seized assets or future acquisitions.
