Billionaire investor Mark Cuban admitted that he sold most of his $BTC because the cryptocurrency failed to prove itself as a reliable hedge against fiat currency devaluation and geopolitical instability.
In an interview with the Front Office Sports podcast, Cuban explained his decision in detail:
— The shattered idea of a "safe haven asset" Initially, he bought $BTC , believing it to be a digital and superior alternative to gold—the best way to preserve purchasing power amid weakening fiat currencies.
— The tipping point His confidence in $BTC was shaken during recent geopolitical tensions, including the conflict between the US and Iran. According to Cuban, gold prices rose sharply during that period, while Bitcoin prices began to decline.
— His current view of the crypto market Although Cuban has dumped most of his Bitcoin, he remains significantly more positive about Ethereum. However, he harshly criticized most memecoins, calling them "garbage."
US lawmakers have revived the idea of creating a strategic $BTC reserve in the United States. A new bipartisan bill, ARMA (The American Reserve Modernization Act), has been introduced. It calls for the acquisition of approximately 1 million $BTC over five years. $BTC will not be sold for at least 20 years.
