Bitcoin in national reserves? Itâs not a meme anymore.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong just pitched BTC as the ânext chapter of capitalism.â
His proposal? Governments should begin accumulating Bitcoin as part of their strategic reserves â just like gold. Why? To protect against inflation, currency debasement, and monetary misfires from central banks.
And here's the kicker: some countries are actually considering it.
In highly inflation-prone economies, a 1â3% BTC allocation could act as a digital hedge â programmable, borderless, and deflationary by design.
But letâs be real â without proper volatility buffers (stabilization funds, derivative hedging, or central custody frameworks), even a small BTC reserve could spook traditional finance.
Still, the first movers might gain more than just bragging rights â they might secure long-term monetary resilience while the rest of the world catches up.
The question isn't if Bitcoin joins the reserves club. It's when.
