Debate Is Brewing Over the Likelihood of the United States Government Buying More Bitcoin

This development follows US President Donald Trump's earlier executive order aimed at establishing a national Bitcoin reserve. However, opinions on the probability of this happening in 2025 are sharply divided among financial analysts.

A debate has emerged over the likelihood of the US government adding Bitcoin to its reserves in 2025. This follows President Donald Trump’s executive order earlier this year, which hinted at the creation of a national crypto reserve. However, financial analysts are sharply divided on the probability of this happening.

A new analysis by a Bloomberg expert suggests a 30% chance of the government augmenting its Bitcoin portfolio. The analyst pointed to the current political environment in Washington as a major hurdle.

With the Republicans now holding a slim majority of seats in Congress, any move to buy Bitcoin is likely to be met with strong opposition from the Democratic party.

The analyst also noted that if Trump was serious about buying Bitcoin for the country’s reserve, he could already have made use of current government channels, such as the Exchange Stabilization Fund, to purchase such assets. This note puts in doubt whether a large-scale Bitcoin buyout is possible and necessary soon.

However, presenting a brighter outlook, Matt Sigel, Head of Digital Assets Research at VanEck, sees a 50% to 60% possibility of the US government purchasing Bitcoin this year.

(The specific name of the Bloomberg analyst is not mentioned in the available search results. But the information was shared by Sigel, who referenced a note from a Bloomberg legal analyst).

He noted that the benefits of keeping BTC in a national reserve outweigh the political challenges mentioned by the Bloomberg analyst. Sigel believes the government could realize the strategic importance of including cryptocurrencies in its financial strategy.

Earlier this year, Trump issued an executive order that hinted at the creation of a US government-owned crypto reserve. But the details and timeline for this move are still not clear, leading to varied opinions among experts.

If the US holds a large amount of Bitcoin, it could have major implications for both the crypto world and the wider financial market.
