Not Likely Yet, Says Arthur Hayes"},"content":{"rendered":"

The BitMEX co-founder recently pushed<\/a> <\/strong>back on the concept of a U.S. \u201cstrategic reserve\u201d of BTC, suggesting that fiscal reality and political optics make it virtually impossible.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview on May 1, Hayes dismissed the notion that America would ever proactively build a Bitcoin reserve beyond the holdings it already controls\u2014mostly assets seized through law enforcement actions. Given the nation\u2019s spiraling deficit, he argued, there\u2019s little room to justify printing money to accumulate more crypto.<\/p>\n

But the optics matter too. Hayes pointed out that the public perception of Bitcoin\u2014still tied to stereotypical \u201ccrypto bro\u201d culture\u2014would make such a policy a hard sell for any politician trying to appeal to mainstream voters. \u201cWould a public official really want to associate monetary strategy with nightclub selfies and meme coins?\u201d he mused.<\/p>\n
