Zach Shapiro, the head of policy at the Bitcoin Policy Institute, said that the United States' purchase of one million bitcoins could drive the price of the currency to one million dollars each. He explained that just the announcement of this step by the U.S. government would cause a 'global shock' and push the price sharply upward. This statement comes after U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order on March 7 to create a 'strategic reserve of bitcoin' and form a stockpile of digital assets, in an attempt to turn America into a superpower in the field of digital currencies. For his part, Matthew Pines, the executive director of the institute, confirmed that this direction aligns with Trump's promise to make the United States a 'great bitcoin power,' pointing out that the amount of bitcoin held by the state will be the true indicator of its seriousness in this goal. Notably, the strategy adopted by the White House to purchase bitcoin aims to be 'budget-neutral,' meaning without imposing additional burdens on taxpayers. Among the proposed sources of funding are: customs revenue, oil revenues, selling some land or physical gold, and even other digital assets. Senator Cynthia Lummis has reintroduced the 'BITCOIN Act' on March 12, aiming to increase the U.S. government's holdings of bitcoin to over one million units.
