Strike CEO Jack Mallers thinks a US Bitcoin reserve is a great idea, and he’s not alone. He believes it would be a win-win for everyone.
Boosting the Economy with Bitcoin
Mallers predicts that a future Trump administration, focused on growth and innovation, would support this move. He argues that a strategic Bitcoin reserve could help the US tackle its massive debt problem. The idea is to back future financial promises with a fast-growing asset, giving people confidence that the government is addressing the debt issue head-on.
Benefits for Everyone?
Mallers emphasizes that this isn’t about taking money from people or favoring banks. Since a large portion of Bitcoin is already owned by the public, a government reserve would benefit retail investors, corporations, and institutions that already own Bitcoin, without hurting those who don’t. He sees it as pro-business, pro-labor, pro-energy, and pro-industry.
The Proposed Legislation
Senator Cynthia Lummis has proposed a bill to create this reserve. The plan is for the US government to acquire one million Bitcoins—about 5% of the total supply—over five years.
Current Bitcoin Price
At the time of writing, one Bitcoin is trading around $96,801.
