Yesterday, the first rumors emerged about this idea from a senator, and today the media is already discussing the possibility that, under Trump, the U.S. might actually create such a reserve.
While it's not getting much attention in the media yet, why is this such a bullish news, and how could it affect Bitcoin and crypto as a whole?
Increased Confidence
If the U.S. starts buying Bitcoin for a strategic reserve, it would indicate that crypto is being viewed as a serious asset at the state level. Investors, seeing this kind of support, would start to take BTC more seriously and likely invest more in it. This "stamp of approval" from the U.S. could strengthen confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value and drive its price upward.
Inflow of Institutional Money
More institutional investors, like funds and banks, would start paying attention to Bitcoin if they see the U.S. government recognizing its strategic value.
Stability in Times of Crisis
Consider other strategic reserves—gold, oil. In times of crisis, when traditional assets are unstable, they can support the economy. A Bitcoin reserve could play a similar role, and if this happens, BTC’s price could skyrocket as it would start being seen as a kind of "lifeline."
This could be a significant turning point for Bitcoin, enhancing its status in the global economy’s eyes and creating long-term demand for cryptocurrency. I believe that after such decisions and acceptance, we might finally see the sky-high numbers that have been predicted—$200K, $300K, or even $1 million per Bitcoin.
