A growing number of governments are positioning themselves to embrace Bitcoin at scale, moving beyond the hesitation that once defined their stance, according to Jan3 CEO Samson Mow.
Speaking on Danny Knowles’ What Bitcoin Did podcast, Mow suggested that the world may be approaching a tipping point:
“We’re finishing the slow phase and entering the beginning of the ‘sudden’ phase,” he explained, stressing how quickly shifts of this nature can unfold. “It really is that ‘gradually, then suddenly’ moment.”
Mow believes it is only a matter of time before countries begin competing with one another in a rush to accumulate Bitcoin reserves, describing it as an inevitable nation-state “FOMO panic.”
U.S. Edging Forward on Bitcoin Reserve Plans
While President Donald Trump has already authorized the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the U.S. has yet to begin active accumulation. Still, Mow highlighted that steps are being taken through budget-neutral purchasing initiatives and the proposed Bitcoin Act.
Galaxy Digital’s research head Alex Thorn recently argued that the U.S. could formalize its reserve before the end of 2025. As it stands, the U.S. remains the largest sovereign holder of Bitcoin, with roughly 198,012 BTC, according to Bitbo.
But Mow has cautioned that waiting too long carries risks: “The danger is that the U.S. could be outpaced by countries like Pakistan,” he said earlier this year.
Latin America Could Lead the Way
Mow is particularly optimistic about adoption in Latin America, suggesting that several nations in the region may take bold steps in the near future. His perspective echoes a January report from Fidelity Digital Assets, which predicted that more governments, sovereign funds, and central banks would eventually add Bitcoin to their balance sheets.
Bitcoin Price Lagging Behind Expectations
Despite this momentum on the policy side, Bitcoin’s price has not yet delivered the explosive growth many had expected in 2025.
“We should have already seen a strong bull market by now,” Mow noted. “This cycle seems delayed—it may spill over into next year.”
His outlook aligns with other industry voices. In July, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said he expects 2026 to be a breakout year, adding that he still sees a strong multi-year period ahead for Bitcoin.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at around $109,400, down nearly 2% over the past month, per CoinMarketCap data.
Mow has previously predicted that Bitcoin reaching $1 million per coin is inevitable—whether that happens this year or next remains to be seen.
