How the U.S. Could Establish a National Bitcoin Reserve

The idea of establishing a national Bitcoin reserve in the U.S. has stirred debates beyond the crypto community, sparking wide-ranging discussions.

Polymarket Poll on U.S. Bitcoin Reserve

A recent poll conducted on Polymarket revealed that 40% of respondents believe President-elect Donald Trump will create a national Bitcoin reserve. Polymarket is a decentralized prediction market where users can speculate on real-world events by buying and selling shares. Current odds on the platform reflect that a significant number of participants think the Trump administration might endorse Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.

U.S. Bitcoin Reserve Under Trump

Currently, the U.S. government holds nearly 200,000 Bitcoins, seized from various legal cases. Experts, such as Alistair Milne of Altana Digital Currency Fund, suggest that Trump could effectively create a 'de facto' reserve simply by not selling these assets. Senator Cynthia Lummis has proposed a bill to allow the purchase of one million Bitcoins over five years, potentially aiding in national debt repayment.

Impact on Global Crypto Policy

The concept of a national Bitcoin reserve poses significant challenges. Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, has stated that current law prohibits the Federal Reserve from owning Bitcoins. Such decisions require Congressional approval, yet Bitcoin's volatile price history raises concerns. Nations like Bhutan and El Salvador have already incorporated Bitcoin into their financial strategies, but on a much smaller scale. With a substantial share of Bitcoin and a strong economy, the U.S. can set a trend that other countries might follow.

Ongoing discussions about the potential reserve status of Bitcoin in the U.S. highlight the growing importance of cryptocurrencies in national financial policies.
