Bitcoin Reserve Possible In Trump’s First 100 Days: Insider

As the world increasingly turns its attention to cryptocurrency, the United States stands at a pivotal juncture. Within the first 100 days of President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, discussions are intensifying over the potential establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve. A key insider, David Bailey, who is the CEO of BTC Inc., has been influential in shifting Trump’s stance on Bitcoin. Bailey emphasizes the urgency of this initiative, especially amid growing concerns that other nations might outpace the US in Bitcoin accumulation.

When Will The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Be A Reality?

David Bailey expressed his concerns on X, highlighting a significant risk to the US Bitcoin agenda. He stated, “America is at major risk of being front run on its Bitcoin agenda. We must establish the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve as quickly as possible. President Trump has the house and senate. He has a mandate. The environment is there for us to get this done in the first 100 days.”

Bailey’s remarks coincide with mounting speculation within the community about Trump’s plans to deliver on his promises. Following Trump’s election victory, his son Eric Trump underscored this anticipation. He responded to MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor’s assertion of “We have a Bitcoin President” with a call to action: “America must lead the way!”

Legislative Support for a National Bitcoin Reserve

Adding to the momentum, US Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming has renewed her advocacy for a national Bitcoin reserve. On November 6, she proclaimed, “WE ARE GOING TO BUILD A STRATEGIC BITCOIN RESERVE.” Her enthusiasm is evident as she continues to push for the Bitcoin Act, introduced in July. This Act proposes that the US government purchase up to 200,000 BTC annually over five years, totaling 1,000,000 BTC. This legislative initiative aligns with Trump’s vision, as he advocated at the 2024 Bitcoin Conference for converting all BTC confiscated by law enforcement into a national “stockpile.”

Global Implications and Expert Opinions

The global implications of establishing a US strategic Bitcoin reserve are profound. David Bailey noted that “many nation states are about to start making moves into Bitcoin.” Prominent figures within the community have highlighted the potential impact of this development. Dylan LeClair, a respected analyst, cautioned that time is limited: “You have approximately three months until the US Government puts into law active accumulation of BTC as a strategic reserve asset. Other sovereigns will be discreetly front running. The clock has already started.”

Joe Consorti, Head of Growth at Theya Inc., elaborated on the scale of the proposed accumulation: “The US will buy 550 BTC/day for 5 years, and hold all of it for a minimum of 20 years.” He described it as “an infinite balance sheet pouring into absolute and immutable scarcity.”

A Shift in Perception

Travis Kling, CEO and founder of Ikigai Asset Management, reflected on the changing tides and the possibility of a strategic Bitcoin reserve: “When this was announced at the Nashville conference, I thought it was pretty unlikely. Just felt like a bridge too far. Almost like it was too bullish to believe. With a red wave, the likelihood of this has drastically increased. If it does, legit WAGMI.”

As of the latest updates, Bitcoin (BTC) traded at $74,640, indicating a significant market interest in cryptocurrency’s potential role in national reserves.

The conversation around a US strategic Bitcoin reserve is not just about finance; it’s about positioning the United States as a leader in the evolving landscape of digital assets. With the right legislative and executive support, America could indeed lead the way in this new frontier.
