#USBitcoinReserves Donald Trump promised that the United States would hold a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve — which could potentially act as a hedge against inflation and financial instability.

Think of it as a modern counterpart to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), a government stockpile of crude oil meant to be utilized during global disruptions. Just as the SPR helps stabilize energy markets, a Bitcoin reserve could safeguard economic stability in an increasingly digital world.

One proponent described this initiative as “our Louisiana Purchase moment” — in other words, a strategic Bitcoin reserve could expand the United States’ economic potential and help the country establish a pioneering position in the digital asset space.
