Galaxy Digital’s research team forecasts that while the U.S. government will not purchase Bitcoin in 2025, it will continue to protect and manage its existing Bitcoin holdings.
According to Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy, the U.S. will focus on stockpiling the Bitcoin it already possesses, which currently amounts to 183,850 BTC valued at approximately $17.36 billion.
Meanwhile, discussions regarding a potential Bitcoin reserve policy will persist.
Thorn noted that U.S. agencies and departments are expected to explore the idea of expanding the country’s Bitcoin reserves, though no new purchases are anticipated this year.
Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis’ Bitcoin Act 2024, if enacted, could see the U.S. acquire 1 million BTC over five years, turning Bitcoin into a long-term reserve asset.
Galaxy’s analyst, known as “JW,” also highlighted that several large companies and countries could consider adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets or sovereign wealth funds.
This development could spark competition among nations, especially those without strong ties to the U.S., pushing them to mine or acquire Bitcoin as part of their economic strategies.
Bitcoin is edging closer to new highs, and signs across the board suggest it may not be long before it smashes through its previous record.
Ukraine is reportedly drafting legislation that would allow it to officially add Bitcoin to its national reserves—potentially making it one of the first countries to do so.
After weeks of leading the charge, Bitcoin’s dominance is showing cracks—creating space for altcoins to reemerge with strength.
Market watchers may need to brace for potential headwinds in the crypto space, according to trader and analyst Jason Pizzino.
