🟡 #Polkadot 's Remarkable Reserve Move: BTC-Based Strategic Asset Plan with 501K $DOT !
The Polkadot (#dot ) community has presented an important proposal that could radically change the network's treasury strategy. According to this proposal, which was brought to the community's agenda, 501,000 DOT (approximately worth millions of dollars) assets can be used to create a Bitcoin (BTC)-based strategic reserve.
📌 What's the Purpose?
In order to build Polkadot's current treasury structure on more solid foundations and ensure long-term value preservation, it is planned to benefit from $BTC 's stability and "digital gold" role. However, it is aimed to use tBTC (tokenized Bitcoin), not Bitcoin directly. In this way, both value storage and DeFi integration will become possible.
🔁 How Will the Plan Work?
A total of 501,000 DOT will be used to gradually purchase tBTC over 1 year. Purchases will be made through Hydration’s Rolling DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) mechanism. This mechanism will provide a more stable purchasing process against price fluctuations in the market.
🌉 tBTC and the Role of the Threshold Network
Purchased tBTCs will be able to be securely transferred between chains thanks to the Threshold Network’s decentralized bridge technology. This system allows BTC to be used on different networks (such as Ethereum or Polkadot) without the need for a central intermediary.
These tBTCs will then be transferred to the Hydration Omnipool liquidity pool. Thus, the Polkadot treasury will be able to benefit from BTC’s price movements and liquidity advantages without holding BTC directly.
🎯 Why is this move important?
Risk distribution: The treasury is moving from being solely dependent on DOT to asset diversification.
Financial resilience: Bitcoin’s strong stance against global economic crises can be a safe haven for the DOT treasury.
Store of value: BTC’s ability to preserve value against inflation over time could be an advantage in long-term planning.
🗳️ What is the voting process?
The proposal is currently in the discussion phase on the Polkadot forums. It has not yet been opened to an official vote on the chain. However, it is expected to reach its final form with the contributions and feedback of community members.
If this move goes through, it will be clear that Polkadot is moving towards an innovative and security-focused approach, not only technically but also financially. It is also likely that this model will inspire other blockchain projects over time.
