At CPAC 2025, Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, stated that the US risks missing out on a historical opportunity if it doesn't take steps to dominate Bitcoin.
Comparing Bitcoin to historical acquisitions
Saylor compared Bitcoin's potential strategic value to the largest territorial acquisitions in US history. He referred to the Louisiana Purchase, the acquisitions of Texas, California, and Alaska, emphasizing that Bitcoin offers the same growth potential, but in the digital realm.
Political support for the idea
Saylor also pointed out that his proposal is gaining political traction, particularly with Donald Trump, who understands the value of exclusive American advantage in the digital economy. He stated that discussions are already happening behind the scenes in Washington.
There's still time to outpace competitors
Saylor emphasized that the United States needs to act quickly to outpace potential competitors like China, Russia, and Europe. He believes that holding a significant share in Bitcoin will allow the US to establish its financial dominance, based on a system that no one else can control.
Michael Saylor believes it's time for the US to act to secure a leading role in the future of the digital economy. His words serve as a warning: only one country can take up to 20% of the Bitcoin network, and if the US doesn’t act, it could miss out on financial dominance.
