MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor has suggested that the United States government should accumulate as much as 25% of Bitcoin’s total supply over the next decade, forming a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve to strengthen national wealth.
In a document titled “A Digital Assets Strategy to Dominate the 21st Century Global Economy,” Saylor recommends a systematic acquisition strategy: “Secure between 5-25% of the Bitcoin network on behalf of the nation through steady, programmatic daily purchases from 2025 to 2035, by which time nearly all Bitcoin will be in circulation.”
Saylor Urges US to Adopt a “Never Sell” Bitcoin Policy
Saylor introduced the proposal to former President Donald Trump, senior government officials, and key crypto industry figures during the White House Crypto Summit on March 7.
He emphasized that the US should adhere to a strict “Never sell your Bitcoin” policy. According to his projections, by 2045, the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could generate more than $10 trillion annually, ensuring long-term economic prosperity for the nation.
Leading up to 2045, Saylor estimates that such a reserve could contribute between $16 trillion and $81 trillion to the US Treasury, potentially alleviating the national debt.
Trump Establishes Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile
On the same day, Trump signed an executive order initiating the creation of a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” and a “Digital Asset Stockpile,” initially funded by Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies seized from criminal activities.
Although the order did not explicitly outline plans for new Bitcoin acquisitions, it directed the Treasury and Commerce departments to devise “budget-neutral strategies” to increase Bitcoin holdings without burdening taxpayers.
Proposed Allocation Far Exceeds Previous Suggestions
If the US were to acquire 25% of Bitcoin’s total supply, it would amass approximately 5.25 million BTC. This figure significantly surpasses the 1 million BTC (5% of supply) proposed in the Bitcoin Act, introduced by Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis in July 2024.
Meanwhile, Saylor continues his own aggressive Bitcoin accumulation. On February 24, he oversaw the purchase of an additional $2 billion worth of Bitcoin, bringing MicroStrategy’s total holdings to nearly 500,000 BTC. This latest acquisition was funded through a $2 billion senior convertible note offering, reinforcing Saylor’s unwavering commitment to Bitcoin.
