Michael Saylor, the co-founder and executive chairman of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) (MSTR), has never been one to think small when it comes to Bitcoin. Now, he’s calling for the U.S. government to go all-in, proposing they buy up to 25% of Bitcoin’s entire supply by 2035. According to CoinDesk, Saylor pitched his vision at the White House Crypto Summit on March 7, arguing that a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could secure the U.S.’s financial dominance in the 21st century.
A “Never Sell” Policy for the U.S.?
Saylor insists the U.S. should adopt a “Never sell your Bitcoin” strategy, predicting the reserve could generate more than $10 trillion annually by 2045. He even claims it could help ease the national debt. His timing couldn’t be better—President Donald Trump just signed an executive order creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, though it currently only includes Bitcoin seized from criminal cases, with no clear plan for government purchases.
Will the U.S. Actually Buy This Much Bitcoin?
If Saylor had his way, the U.S. would own 5.25 million BTC—far beyond the 1 million BTC suggested in the Bitcoin Act. While Saylor himself just added another $2 billion worth of Bitcoin to his company’s holdings, the question remains: Will the government really follow suit, or is this just another Bitcoin billionaire’s dream?
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is sitting at $82,831.55. If the U.S. were to start accumulating Bitcoin on a large scale, it could trigger a supply squeeze, pushing prices even higher. However, without a clear commitment from the government, Bitcoin remains in limbo—waiting for its next major catalyst.
