Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy, has urged the U.S. government to acquire up to 25% of Bitcoin’s total supply by 2035, arguing that this would strengthen the country’s economic position. He presented this proposal in a document titled “A Digital Assets Strategy to Dominate the 21st Century Global Economy,” suggesting daily Bitcoin purchases over the next decade.
Saylor emphasized a “never sell” approach, claiming that by 2045, a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could generate trillions annually and serve as a vital economic asset. He presented his case at the White House Crypto Summit, where former President Donald Trump had earlier signed an executive order establishing a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” and “Digital Asset Stockpile,” initially funded through seized crypto assets.
The proposal vastly exceeds prior legislative suggestions, such as Senator Cynthia Lummis’ Bitcoin Act, which recommended the U.S. government hold just 5% of the total Bitcoin supply. Saylor believes that securing a more significant portion would enhance the country’s financial sovereignty.
Meanwhile, Strategy continues increasing its Bitcoin holdings, recently purchasing an additional $2 billion worth. The firm now holds nearly 500,000 BTC, reinforcing Saylor’s long-term belief in Bitcoin as a crucial financial instrument for national and corporate reserves.
