The U.S. government’s decision to add Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to its strategic reserves has sparked debate, with MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor weighing in on the matter.
While he supports Bitcoin’s inclusion, he remains cautious about altcoins like XRP, Ethereum, Solana, and Cardano, emphasizing the need for regulatory oversight.
In a recent interview, Saylor addressed concerns over altcoin regulation, stating that XRP and similar assets should operate within a clear legal framework. However, he remains firm in his belief that Bitcoin should be the primary digital reserve asset, suggesting that the broader crypto market may not be as suited for long-term government holdings.
The upcoming White House Crypto Summit is expected to clarify the administration’s approach to digital assets. Saylor revealed that a working group, including policymakers and industry leaders, will oversee the reserve strategy over the next six months. He also stressed that building Bitcoin reserves should be a measured process, ensuring transparency and regulatory clarity. Additionally, he highlighted the role of stablecoins in maintaining the dollar’s dominance and the growing relevance of tokenized assets.
Cardano’s absence from official discussions has raised questions about whether it will be excluded from the reserves. Some industry figures, including Gemini’s Tyler Winklevoss, argue that Bitcoin is the only asset suitable for this role, dismissing XRP, Solana, and Cardano as unfit for a strategic reserve.
As speculation builds, more details are expected at the summit. Meanwhile, Trump’s DeFi venture, World Liberty Financial, has made a major move by acquiring $20 million in Bitcoin and Ethereum, signaling confidence in the market ahead of key policy decisions.
