Bitcoin news: Despite the hype surrounding Donald Trump’s executive order on the Strategic BTC Reserve, some Bitcoiners remain unimpressed. Critics argue that the reserve’s initial funding through seized Bitcoins doesn’t constitute a meaningful commitment to the cryptocurrency. However, Bitcoin maxi Samson Mow explains how the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve has the potential to revolutionize the cryptocurrency landscape.
Amidst discussions surrounding the potential implications of a strategic BTC reserve, Bitcoin maxi Samson Mow shared his insights. In an X post, Mow highlighted the significance of a Bitcoin reserve.
Despite initial rumors suggesting no Bitcoin purchases would be made, Mow assured that buying will indeed occur, albeit through “budget-neutral” strategies. These strategies include issuing Bitcoin Bonds or selling gold reserves to acquire Bitcoin. Mow expressed confidence in Howard Lutnick’s ability to execute these plans, stating, “Give it some time. Howard Lutnick will get it done.”
Notably, the establishment of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve represents a watershed moment in Bitcoin’s history, elevating it to the same level as gold. With the stroke of a pen, President Trump has made Bitcoin a game-changer, cementing its status as a strategic asset. He wrote,
Today, with the stroke of a pen, POTUS has equivocated Bitcoin with gold. The SBR is a digital Fort Knox. Let that sink in. The real race for nation-state Bitcoin adoption really begins.
In addition, the SBR could bring transparency to the US government’s Bitcoin holdings. As per current estimations, the United States hold around 112,000 BTC or less. Out of this, 95,000 BTC belongs to Bitfinex, putting China in the lead with 194,000 BTC. However, with Bitcoin becoming a reserve, the US is likely to conduct an audit and increase its holdings to maintain its competitive edge.
Mow’s post comes following Farcaster founder Dan Romero’s statement that the US has no plans to buy Bitcoin. Instead, he stated that the government will capitalize the seized assets.
Significantly, the SBR could push Bitcoin’s price to remarkable heights as noted by Robert Kiyosaki, the author of the popular book, “Rich Dad Poor Dad.” According to Kiyosaki, Bitcoin could help America resolve its financial crises.
With Bitcoin’s increased acceptance and adoption, the US envisions becoming a global lead in the crypto industry. Thus, America views positioning itself as a leader in the global economy and setting the stage for a new era of competition and innovation.
