When the U.S. government places Bitcoin on the national strategic table and even envisions it as a 'gold reserve for the digital age'—do you still think crypto assets are merely speculative tools?
When the pendulum of history swings back toward 'crisis', many pieces hidden behind geopolitical games are surfacing. In April 2025, a seemingly 'sudden' policy from the U.S. government reveals the tip of the iceberg in the reshuffling of the global financial order. Since Trump returned to the White House, the U.S. has operated its foreign trade and financial system with increasing strategic intent, no longer merely a bargaining chip for short-term negotiations but more like preparatory actions for building a 'new world order'. Among these, the most eye-catching is that Bitcoin and gold are simultaneously regarded as the 'dual anchor assets' of the dollar.
The U.S. Reshuffles: The Old Dollar Order is Collapsing
Recently, the U.S. government announced a uniform 10% baseline tariff on almost all imported goods starting in April 2025, implementing even higher 'reciprocal tariffs' on countries like China, with rates soaring as high as 125% at one point. This policy directly shook global capital markets—U.S. bonds were sold off, 10-year yields soared to 4.5%, U.S. stocks experienced extreme volatility, and the dollar index continued to decline.
Behind this turmoil is the global financial order centered around the dollar, established after World War II, which is currently undergoing fragmentation.
Years of fiscal deficits, high debt levels, the decline of the dollar's global reserve status, and the rise of emerging economies like China are all shaking the foundations of the dollar. The U.S. government realizes that if it does not seize the next round of currency and rule-making dominance, it will be marginalized in the global financial discourse.
Thus, the U.S. begins to apply 'strong medicine': attempting to curb competitors through tariffs while quietly incorporating Bitcoin and gold into the national strategic reserve system, aiming to create a 'new dollar credit anchor'.
Bitcoin + Gold = The New Cornerstone of the Dollar?
The concept of 'Virtual Fort Knox' emerges.
In March 2025, Trump signed an executive order to officially establish 'strategic Bitcoin reserves' and 'U.S. digital asset reserves'. This is not only a policy stance but a complete shift in the U.S. government's attitude toward Bitcoin—from past caution and even hostility to today's national-level acceptance. High-profile summits invited giants like Coinbase and MicroStrategy, and Trump boldly stated: 'Bitcoin will be the treasury gold of the new era.'
Gold is the value anchor of the traditional world, while Bitcoin is the scarce asset of the crypto world. Together, they form the 'dual engines' that will help the dollar maintain its global position in the next phase.
The U.S. government has amassed a large Bitcoin reserve from law enforcement actions, with market rumors suggesting a target of controlling 1 million BTC, approximately 5% of the total supply. This ratio is almost equivalent to the U.S. gold's share in global reserves. In other words—Bitcoin is not just a financial tool; it is becoming a 'strategic resource' for the U.S. government.
The Rise of Bitcoin: Dual Drive of Strategy and Market
When national machinery incorporates Bitcoin into long-term planning, the market naturally reacts. By the end of 2024, the total market value of Bitcoin is approximately $2 trillion, still a considerable distance from gold's $20 trillion. However, if it truly becomes the new global financial anchor as the U.S. hopes, the growth potential of Bitcoin may far exceed just a few times.
Coupled with the current debt pressure in the U.S., it is not hard to speculate: as the price of Bitcoin rises, the government could 'release chips' to exchange for funds, using crypto assets to mitigate debt risks. This idea of 'diluting national debt with Bitcoin' offers more operational space and global acceptance compared to traditional tax increases or quantitative easing.
Crypto Entrepreneurship: 'Counter-Cyclical' Opportunities in Crisis
Under severe macroeconomic fluctuations, many bubble projects are rapidly clearing out. This precisely marks a golden window period for 'hardcore innovators'. Directions such as the Bitcoin mainnet ecology (BTC Fi), new public chain infrastructure, real-world asset (RWA) mapping, and AI+PayFi integration are becoming the main battleground for a new wave of entrepreneurship.
Taking the Bitcoin ecosystem as an example: protocols like BRC-20 and Runes have brought new ways of asset issuance, while Layer2 infrastructures like the Lightning Network have enhanced Bitcoin's scalability and payment efficiency. These applications have gradually transformed Bitcoin from 'digital gold' into the underlying support of the 'global value internet'.
At the same time, RWA tokenization is opening the door to deep integration of crypto assets with the real economy. This trend, along with the overlay of AI and big data infrastructures, has spurred the emergence of projects with real cash flow and profit logic.
What do we rely on to break through during turbulent periods?
For entrepreneurs, the current stage is no longer an era of relying on storytelling to attract traffic. The model that can 'earn real money' is the foundation for traversing cycles. And this is inseparable from deep data insights and trend judgments.
