Michael Saylor, chairman of MicroStrategy, has recently advocated for the United States to establish a Bitcoin reserve to secure its economic future.
Speaking at a Miami event, Saylor suggested that acquiring Bitcoin could function as a long-term capital asset, safeguarding the dollar in much the same way historical land acquisitions such as the Louisiana Purchase and the acquisition of Alaska benefited the country. He sees Bitcoin as an opportunity that could similarly strengthen the nation’s financial position.
While the proposal for a national Bitcoin reserve is still in early stages, Saylor has expressed strong confidence in its potential, highlighting support from key figures such as former President Trump and Senator Cynthia Loomis.
Trump has previously discussed safeguarding the government’s current Bitcoin holdings, while Loomis has introduced a bill aiming to increase those holdings to one million BTC over the next five years.
Saylor envisions that accumulating Bitcoin could yield significant economic benefits, projecting up to $16 trillion in advantages for the US, or as much as $81 trillion in a more aggressive scenario where the government acquires four million BTC.
He describes this initiative as a crucial move for national prosperity and an achievable goal that would provide a strategic alternative to traditional financial assets, thus protecting the dollar and ensuring the country’s economic strength.
Bitcoin’s market signal has officially shifted back into a low-risk phase, according to a new chart shared by Bitcoin Vector in collaboration with Glassnode and Swissblock.
Financial author Robert Kiyosaki is once again sounding the alarm on America’s economic health.
