Michael Saylor, the founder of Strategy, has put forward an ambitious plan for the U.S. government to secure up to 25% of Bitcoin’s total supply over the next decade.
In a detailed proposal titled “A Digital Assets Strategy to Dominate the 21st Century Global Economy,” Saylor suggests that the U.S. should implement consistent daily purchases of Bitcoin between 2025 and 2035, when most of the total supply will have already been mined.
Saylor emphasized that the government should adopt a “never sell your Bitcoin” policy, foreseeing that by 2045, the reserve could generate up to $10 trillion annually. He projects that, over the next few decades, the reserve could contribute between $16 trillion and $81 trillion to the U.S. Treasury, potentially alleviating the national debt.
This proposal follows a significant move by President Trump, who signed an executive order to create a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” and “Digital Asset Stockpile” funded by cryptocurrency seized from criminal cases. While no immediate plan for additional Bitcoin purchases was included, the order directed Treasury and Commerce officials to explore strategies to acquire Bitcoin without increasing taxpayer costs.
Saylor’s proposal stands out by suggesting the U.S. acquire 5.25 million BTC, significantly higher than the 1 million BTC proposed by Senator Cynthia Lummis in her Bitcoin Act. Meanwhile, Saylor’s company continues to increase its Bitcoin holdings, having recently invested an additional $2 billion in the digital asset.
