Michael Saylor, the founder of Strategy, has proposed that the U.S. government acquire 25% of Bitcoin’s total supply by 2035 to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. He suggests that the government systematically purchase 5-25% of Bitcoin’s supply through daily acquisitions between 2025 and 2035, by which time 99% of Bitcoin will have been issued.
Saylor presented this idea at the White House Crypto Summit, where he urged President Trump and global crypto leaders to adopt a “Never sell your Bitcoin” policy. He predicts that such a reserve could generate $16 trillion to $81 trillion by 2045, potentially helping to reduce national debt.
Separately, Trump has already signed an executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, initially funded by cryptocurrency seized in criminal cases, with plans for further acquisitions.
If the U.S. follows Saylor’s plan and acquires 25% of Bitcoin’s supply, it would hold 5.25 million BTC, far exceeding Senator Cynthia Lummis’ proposal of 1 million BTC. Meanwhile, Saylor’s Strategy recently purchased $2 billion worth of Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to nearly 500,000 BTC.
