The question of creating a national Bitcoin reserve in the US remains controversial. VanEck has released a report on the economic benefits of such a reserve.

Divided Opinions

Donald Trump's promise to establish a national Bitcoin reserve is intriguing. However, analysts remain divided on the issue.

VanEck's Analysis

In its latest report, asset management firm VanEck claims that a strategic Bitcoin reserve could reduce the US national debt by up to 36% by 2050. VanEck analysts stated that the US could cut its national debt by 35% over the next 24 years if it creates a reserve of 1 million Bitcoins under the bill proposed by Senator Cynthia Lummis.

Plans for the Future

Sigel and Frankovitz also suggested that the US halt the sale of Bitcoin and start initial Bitcoin purchases through the Exchange Stabilization Fund. Under the Bitcoin bill presented by Lummis, the US could reuse the 198,100 Bitcoins it seized, while financing the remaining 801,900 Bitcoins through Emergency Support Functions.

The prospect of a national Bitcoin reserve in the US remains uncertain, but the potential economic benefits may provide a compelling case for such a move.
