Strategy founder Michael Saylor has called on the U.S. government to acquire up to 25% of Bitcoin’s total supply over the next decade as part of a newly proposed Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
In a document titled “A Digital Assets Strategy to Dominate the 21st Century Global Economy,” Saylor outlined a plan for the government to consistently purchase Bitcoin between 2025 and 2035, a period when nearly all BTC will have been mined. His proposal suggests the U.S. should secure between 5% and 25% of the Bitcoin network as a national asset.
“Never Sell Your Bitcoin,” Saylor Advises U.S. Government
Saylor presented his strategy to former President Donald Trump, top government officials, and crypto industry leaders at the White House Crypto Summit on March 7. He emphasised a “Never sell your Bitcoin” policy, arguing that holding BTC long-term could create a perpetual source of prosperity for the United States.
According to his projections, by 2045, the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could generate over $10 trillion annually. Additionally, it could contribute between $16 trillion and $81 trillion to the U.S. Treasury over the next two decades, potentially easing the country’s national debt burden.
Trump Signs Executive Order for Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
On the same day, Trump signed an executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile, initially funded with seized cryptocurrency from criminal cases.
While the order does not include an immediate government-led Bitcoin purchase plan, it directs the Treasury and Commerce secretaries to develop budget-neutral strategies to accumulate more BTC without imposing extra costs on taxpayers.
If the U.S. were to acquire 25% of Bitcoin’s total supply, it would control 5.25 million BTC—far exceeding the 1 million BTC (5%) proposed by Senator Cynthia Lummis in her Bitcoin Act introduced in July 2024.
Saylor and Strategy Continue Bitcoin Accumulation
Meanwhile, Saylor remains committed to increasing MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin holdings. On February 24, the company acquired $2 billion worth of BTC, bringing its total stash to nearly 500,000 BTC.
The acquisition followed Strategy’s successful $2 billion senior convertible note offering, a move that highlights the firm’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
With both the U.S. government and institutional players ramping up their BTC holdings, Saylor’s vision of Bitcoin as a key strategic asset for national wealth may be closer to reality than ever.
