At the Bitcoin Policy Institute’s Bitcoin For America event, Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy, underscored the importance of active Bitcoin ownership for the US.
Michael Saylor’s Bold Vision
Michael Saylor stated that the U.S. should accumulate significant amounts of Bitcoin, anticipating future commerce worth trillions will flow through the Bitcoin blockchain. He believes that controlling this 'digital superhighway' is crucial for future US economic power.
Why a US Bitcoin Strategy is Necessary?
Saylor’s rationale is based on Bitcoin’s fundamental characteristics and its impact on the global order. He views Bitcoin as economic security, leadership in financial innovation, and a hedge against inflation. Dominance in Bitcoin will provide strategic advantage in the global financial system.
Bitcoin: A Reflection of US Values?
Saylor argues that Bitcoin aligns with core American values: decentralization and freedom, transparency and openness, meritocracy and innovation, resilience and security. For him, adopting Bitcoin is not just a financial strategy but a reaffirmation of American values in the digital age.
Saylor's message is a powerful call to the US to recognize Bitcoin's potential and lead in the new financial landscape shaped by digital assets.
