The five-time UFC titlist and upstart presidential hopeful has been calling for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve to help maximize individual financial freedom and increase long-term national wealth. McGregor is set to meet with El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele to discuss this potential reserve, aiming for Ireland to emulate El Salvador's approach to accumulating Bitcoin for national holdings. This crypto push is putting Ireland in the global spotlight.

According to McGregor, greater Bitcoin adoption is one way to “give power back to the people.” He features interviews with digital asset thought leaders such as Max Keiser and Dhara. This is greatly due to their deep understanding of the cryptocurrency market, which stokes his enthusiasm.

McGregor's aggressive strategy to promote Bitcoin adoption in Ireland is drawing comparisons to Michael Saylor's bold Bitcoin moves at MicroStrategy, positioning Saylor as a key reference for McGregor's "nation-state" Bitcoin vision.

To be fair, McGregor’s past forays into crypto haven’t always gone well. Though he is still stinging from these failures, he is undeterred in his efforts to convince Ireland to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

His push for Bitcoin is part of a larger goal to incorporate the currency into Ireland’s financial future. McGregor interviews President Bukele to learn lessons from El Salvador’s experience. Ultimately he wants to crack the door open for Ireland to acquire Bitcoin as a strategic asset.
