Recently, according to various financial and policy sources, some political figures, think tanks, and crypto advocacy organizations in the U.S. have begun promoting the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve proposal, intending to emulate the model of gold reserves by incorporating BTC into the national asset system. 'Follow for updates'

This is not just talk—multiple state governments (such as Texas and Florida) are discussing local Bitcoin reserve pilot projects, and Congress along with the White House advisory team is researching policy feasibility.

👉 This may be the most critical step for Bitcoin to be 'officially recognized.'

1. What are strategic reserves?

In simple terms:

Strategic reserves are assets that a country reserves to cope with risks (such as war, inflation, financial crises, etc.), similar to gold, oil, and foreign exchange held by the state.

The current proposal aims to make Bitcoin 'digital gold' as a reserve asset.

2. Why build a Bitcoin reserve?

Driving factors interpretation 🌍 The global currency competition intensifies, challenging the dollar hegemony, and Bitcoin reserves are seen as a new type of 'financial weapon' 💸 to combat inflation. BTC's total supply is fixed, not affected by central banks' excessive money printing 🏦. Diversifying risk, Bitcoin as a non-sovereign asset can balance the structure of dollar and gold foreign exchange assets 🏛. Policy signals provide clear national endorsement of 'Bitcoin as legal and trustworthy' to institutions and retail investors.

3. Analogy: If a country reserves BTC, what is it like?

It's like your home has two safes:

✅ One contains gold and U.S. dollar cash;

✅ The other contains digital gold (BTC) that may be worth more in the future.

This makes families (nations) more resilient to risks, not fearing the devaluation of 'any one' asset.

📈 How might this be done?

  • BTC may be held directly by the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, or some newly established institution, or allocated through ETFs and other forms.

  • The initial proportion may be very low (for example, 1%-3% of total reserves), gradually observing the impact.

  • Disclose alongside gold reserves in official data reports, including it in national asset statistics.

Thinking: What does this mean for the cryptocurrency space and newcomers?

✅ Opportunity:

  • National purchases may drive up prices, attracting institutions and individuals to follow;

  • Policy-friendly signals alleviate regulatory uncertainty.

⚠ Risk:

  • Political cycle changes may alter policy directions;

  • Concentrated holdings may exacerbate volatility among large holders.

💡 Newcomer advice:

  • Pay more attention to the policy trends of the U.S. and state governments, and do not blindly chase high prices;

  • Learn to compare the reserve data of gold, Bitcoin, and the U.S. dollar to form a macro perspective;

  • If BTC truly becomes a national reserve asset, the confidence in holding it will undergo a qualitative change.

The proposal for Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset marks the transition of digital assets from the private sector to the national system.
This 'national endorsement' game may redefine the status of digital currencies and bring new opportunities and challenges to ordinary investors.#美联储FOMC会议 $BTC
