reserve

Donald J. Trump, currently serving as U.S. President, announced a strategic initiative to establish a national Bitcoin reserve, marking a significant shift in his administration’s stance on cryptocurrencies.
This move highlights the administration's intent to bolster U.S. leadership in digital assets. Market analysts anticipate increased institutional demand for Bitcoin, influencing supply dynamics and potentially raising prices.
Cryptocurrency Policy Pivot with National Bitcoin Reserve
The announcement marks a major shift in policy for Trump's administration, which previously maintained a skeptical view of cryptocurrencies, emphasizing regulatory engagement.
Trump has appointed David Sacks as the "Crypto and AI Czar," signaling a focus on integrating digital assets into the national framework. This initiative involves major regulatory bodies.

The CNB board discussed a document on the management of international reserves in 2024, focusing on investment diversification. According to the governor, Aleš Michl, it is worth considering whether the addition of other asset classes could be suitable for the reserves to further improve diversification and returns. Over the last two years, the central bank has actively diversified its investments as part of its strategy in managing reserves.
Meanwhile, the CNB is actively searching for new channels for investments to generate higher returns from its reserves. However, whether to invest euro reserves in Bitcoin is a pending decision-and is not expected anytime soon. Last year, the governor himself told reporters that such an issue must be debated further by the board. At this moment, CNB has already been taking giant leaps toward the path of reserve management optimization. This will also help the bank in determining the course of its international reserves in the year 2024.

Introduction
For decades, the US dollar (USD) has served as the world's primary reserve currency, facilitating global trade and underpinning financial markets. However, recent macroeconomic trends reveal a growing trust deficit in the USD, driven by excessive money printing, unsustainable debt levels, and geopolitical tensions. As confidence in fiat currencies wanes, Bitcoin (BTC) - with its fixed supply and decentralized nature - is increasingly viewed as a viable alternative store of value.
This article examines:
The key factors eroding trust in the USDBitcoin's inverse relationship with the dollar's strengthHistorical performance comparisonsFuture outlook for both assets
Part 1: The Declining Trust in the US Dollar
1. Inflationary Monetary Policies
The Federal Reserve's balance sheet expanded from 4trillioninearly2020toover4trillioninearly2020toover8 trillion by mid-2022 through quantitative easing programs (Federal Reserve Economic Data). This unprecedented money printing led to persistent inflation, with CPI reaching 9.1% in June 2022 - the highest level since 1981 (Bureau of Labor Statistics).
2. Unsustainable Debt Burden
The US national debt has surpassed $34 trillion as of January 2024 (US Treasury Department), representing over 120% of GDP. Economists at the Congressional Budget Office project debt could reach 200% of GDP by 2050 if current trends continue.
3. Geopolitical Shifts and De-Dollarization
The weaponization of dollar-based financial systems through sanctions has accelerated de-dollarization efforts:
BRICS nations are developing alternative payment systemsChina has established yuan-based oil futures contractsRussia settled $20 billion in energy trades with China in yuan in 2023 (SCMP)
4. Banking System Vulnerabilities
The 2023 collapses of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank - the second and third largest bank failures in US history (FDIC) - exposed systemic risks in traditional finance, driving interest toward decentralized alternatives.
Part 2: Bitcoin as the Anti-Dollar
Comparative Analysis: USD vs BTC Characteristics
FeatureUS Dollar (DXY)BitcoinSupply ControlUnlimited (Fed-controlled)Fixed at 21 million
Inflation Rate~15% money supply growth (2020)1.8% annual issuance
Settlement2-3 days (SWIFT)10 minutes (blockchain)

Institutional Adoption Milestones

Part 3: Historical Performance Analysis
Key Correlation Trends
2010-2014: Weak USD (DXY ~80) coincided with BTC's first bull market
2017: DXY decline from 103 to 92 preceded BTC's $20,000 peak
2020-2021: DXY dropped 13% while BTC gained 1,200%
2022: Strong USD (DXY 114) accompanied 65% BTC crash
Notable Divergences
March 2020: Both assets crashed during liquidity crisis2024: BTC hits ATH despite elevated DXY (ETF-driven demand)
Part 4: Future Outlook
Potential Scenarios
USD Stabilization Case:
Fed achieves soft landingDebt growth slowsUSD maintains reserve status but with reduced dominance
Hyperinflation Case:
Debt spiral forces yield curve controlRapid loss of purchasing powerBTC becomes mainstream inflation hedge
Bitcoin's Path Forward
Bullish Factors: Halving cycles, ETF inflows, institutional adoptionBearish Risks: Regulatory crackdowns, technological hurdles
Conclusion
The US dollar faces structural challenges that Bitcoin is uniquely positioned to address. While complete dollar replacement remains unlikely in the near term, BTC's properties as a scarce, decentralized asset make it an increasingly important component of a diversified monetary portfolio.
As Ray Dalio noted in "Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order": "When there's too much debt and printing of money, people look for other stores of wealth." Bitcoin appears to be emerging as that alternative in the digital age.
