A US Bitcoin Reserve is on its way. Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy’s fierce Bitcoin advocate, wants the U.S. to own the crypto game.
Meeting with lawmakers on the House Financial Services Committee, Saylor outlined an ambitious roadmap for Bitcoin-led dominance, tying America’s economic future to winning the digital currency race.
Presenting a Framework for the Future Bitcoin Reserve
Saylor’s grand plan revolves around his “Digital Assets Framework,” a blueprint to inject clarity into crypto regulation and anchor digital currencies in the U.S. economy.
At the center of it all is a bold pitch for a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,” which he claims, could generate a staggering $16 to $81 trillion in wealth.
A Crucial Moment for Crypto in Washington
In the White House meeting, Saylor called Bitcoin an ally of the dollar, not its rival, dubbing it “digital gold.”
He positioned Bitcoin as a bulwark against inflation and a gateway for institutional capital to expand global digital markets to $280 trillion.
Challenges and Skepticism Over a Bitcoin Reserve
Ambitious as it is, Saylor’s plan sits on shaky ground due to Bitcoin’s notorious price volatility. Critics are concerned about its suitability for a central role in government policy. Joshua Chu, Co-Chair of the Hong Kong Web3 Association, noted:
“This price decline shows that positive sentiment from a crypto-friendly administration and high-profile endorsements have run their course. It’s clear Bitcoin is a risk asset, not the inflation hedge it was claimed to be.”
However, the balance between innovation and accountability will be critical. If Saylor’s vision gains traction, the U.S. could become the epicenter of the digital economy.
For now, the debate about cryptocurrency’s place in America’s financial future is just beginning.
