The United States Is Expected to Establish a Bitcoin Reserve, Targeting the Purchase of 1 Million BTC

What an enormous day it has been today. Gary Gensler officially announced that he is stepping down from his position as Chairman of the

Gary Gensler officially announced that he is stepping down from his position as Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Friday.

Minutes later, Reuters reported that Donald Trump's "crypto council" is expected to "establish Trump’s promised bitcoin reserve." A bitcoin reserve, that would see the United States purchase 200,000 bitcoin per year, for five years until it has bought 1,000,000 bitcoin.

Bitcoin Continuing Bullish Momentum

After both of those occurred, Bitcoin (BTC) continued its upward momentum and broke $99,000, with $100,000 feeling like it can happen at any second now.

I can't help but be bullish thinking about the United States purchasing 200,000 BTC per year. They essentially have to compete with everyone else in the world who is also accumulating bitcoin and attempting to front run them. There are only 21 million bitcoin and that is a LOT of demand.

To put this into context, so far this year the US spot bitcoin ETFs have accumulated a combined total of over 1 million BTC. At the time of launch the price was ~$44,000 and now bitcoin is practically at $100,000. And that’s all ETFs combined. Imagine what will happen when just one entity wants to buy a total of 1 million coins, having to compete with everyone else accumulating large amounts as well?

I mean MicroStrategy literally just completed another $3 BILLION raise to buy more bitcoin, and will continue raising until it purchases $42 billion more in bitcoin. The United States are most likely going to be purchasing their coins (if this legislation is officially signed into law) at very high prices. The demand is insane and only rising in the foreseeable future.

With two months left to go until Trump officially takes office, it remains to be seen if this bill becomes law, but at the moment things are looking really good. As Senator Cynthia Lummis stated, “This is our Louisiana Purchase moment!” and would be an absolutely historic moment for Bitcoin, Bitcoiners, and the future financial dominance of the United States of America.
