The US Should Establish A Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

Published

on

By

This morning, the Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) released a 53-page report on the pros of the United States establishing a strategic bitcoin reserve (SBR).

The authors of the report touched on four key benefits of holding bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset:

  • Economic and monetary stability — bitcoin is a hedge against currency debasement and debt instability
  • Geopolitical competition — the US could gain a strategic advantage over other countries that are contemplating starting a bitcoin reserve and can reinforce the US’ influence over global financial standards
  • Energy and climate — Bitcoin mining can be leveraged to accelerate the movement toward renewable energy
  • Financial inclusion and human rights — the US can promote both the concepts of individual freedom and financial inclusion for both US citizens and those abroad

While I agree that the US’ establishing an SBR would have these benefits, I also think it would send a certain message loud and clear: We embrace change in the United States.

We can tell the world that we’re aware of Bitcoin’s numerous positive attributes and that we want to use them to our advantage.

In doing so, we can shift the narrative around Bitcoin from something to be feared and controlled to something that should be embraced and utilized, and we can stand behind a tool that can be used to increase the financial buoyancy of both people and institutions around the globe instead of standing in its way.

 We can send a message to the world by doing so.

I’m Grateful for Trump’s Embrace of Bitcoin

Published

on

By

Co-founder of BTC Media eleven years ago, I am passionate about the future of Bitcoin – and in the spirit of free speech and democracy on this election eve – I feel compelled to share my first Bitcoin Magazine opinion article. Weeks ago our editor-in-chief, Aaron Van Wirdum, published his Take, “Trump Does Not Give a Damn About Bitcoin,” and he invited submissions of a counter-take.

Our company was founded on the mission of hyperbitcoinization. Since the beginning, educating Main Street on Bitcoin has been core to our values. We’ve made great strides. I believe Trump – as standing president – with pro-Bitcoin advisors, could significantly fast-track Main Street’s embrace of Bitcoin, create the world’s most pro-Bitcoin economy, and commute Ross Ulbricht’s sentence… a powerful trifecta.

The resounding skepticism found in Aaron’s TAKE is not a sentiment that I share; rather, I trust in Trump’s declared support for Bitcoin. His inner circle is full of fervent Bitcoiners and those who have signaled support for Bitcoin: his children, JD Vance, Elon Musk, RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, Senators Lummis, Blackburn, Hagerty and Scott plus many, many more.

As a newcomer to the Bitcoin space, Trump, like many, is still learning. I recognize and appreciate his ever-student curiosity and desire to fully grasp the future of money. A U.S. president with exposure to Bitcoin, who surrounds himself with pro-Bitcoin advisors and policies, is certainly a more favorable alternative than the openly-hostile administrations of the past and present.

In Aaron’s TAKE, Trump was chastised for failing to transact his own bitcoin purchase at a campaign stop at PubKey – a Bitcoin bar in Greenwich Village; again, there is no stone to throw here. I was elated that Trump accepted PubKey owner Thomas Pacchia’s invitation to make a campaign stop (and as I understand it, that was an invitation extended to both V.P. Harris and Trump, with only Trump accepting). The transaction was a gesture, facilitated by the community, and was a well-received and celebratory moment for that small business and for the global network of Bitcoin businesses that have struggled for this level of acceptance by politicians.

Like others, you might be questioning if donations and votes are the driving force of Trump’s interest in Bitcoin. Does it actually matter what drives any of us as we strive for a common good? We are a diverse community with diverse reasons for embracing Bitcoin — whether a desire for financial sovereignty, an investment opportunity, a sudden inability to purchase basic necessities during a protest, a distrust in the existing financial system and, yes, even politicians seeking the Bitcoin community’s support through donations and votes.

The Bitcoin Community knows Bitcoin will flourish and thrive in spite of politics; however, not all issues are apolitical. At Nashville’s Bitcoin 2024 conference (and the Libertarian National Convention), Trump stated, unequivocally, that he will free Ross Ulbricht if given the opportunity as President. The Ulbricht family needs a miracle, and it is Trump who pledges to deliver it.

I had the golden opportunity to meet Trump backstage at Bitcoin 2024 (alongside two strong, intelligent women – his granddaughter Kai and her mother Vanessa). I found Trump to be warm, humorous, and sincere. I wholeheartedly welcome Trump to Bitcoin and appreciate bipartisanship support in freeing Ross and our mission of hyperbitcoinization.

I encourage you all to vote this Tuesday, and to join Bitcoin Magazine and Stand With Crypto for The Road to Election Day, live from Las Vegas, this Tuesday, November 5, 2024, beginning at 3 p.m. PST. 

This article is a Take. Opinions expressed are entirely the author’s and do not necessarily reflect those of BTC Inc or Bitcoin Magazine.

 As the U.S. faces the most consequential election of our lifetime, the Trump administration offers an unprecedented opportunity for the Bitcoin community.
