Are we facing the new 'digital gold' of national reserves?
In a world shaken by inflation and loss of trust in traditional currencies, Bitcoin emerges as a strategic alternative. It is not just about investment: we are talking about reserve of power, financial sovereignty, and a vision for the future.
What is a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve?
It is when governments, companies, or institutions decide to hold Bitcoin as part of their reserve assets, just like gold or foreign currencies. Why? Here are the key reasons:
1. Coverage against inflation
BTC has a limited supply: only 21 million will ever exist. This makes it a solid refuge against currencies that are printed without control.
2. Portfolio diversification
Adding Bitcoin to reserves mitigates risks and strengthens financial structures, both public and private.
3. National economic security
Countries with unstable currencies see Bitcoin as a shield against crises, sanctions, or foreign dependency.
4. Visionary corporate treasury
Companies like MicroStrategy, Tesla, or even Tether have bet billions on BTC, replacing cash with a scarce and durable asset.
The United States enters the game
On March 6, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order to create the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The surprise? It will be funded with BTC confiscated in criminal cases. This bold move seeks to strengthen the role of the U.S. in the new digital financial order.
Critiques? Of course.
Volatility, lack of regulation, ethical questions about the origin of BTC… but the debate is open. Is Bitcoin the new long-term standard of value?
Countries like El Salvador are already leading with over 6,100 BTC in reserves, while others watch, evaluate… or prepare to enter.
Should more governments adopt a strategic Bitcoin reserve?
