Sonny S. Watts YEREVAN (CoinChapter.com) — Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy, has proposed that the United States government acquire up to 25% of Bitcoin’s total supply over the next decade. In a document titled “A Digital Assets Strategy to Dominate the 21st Century Global Economy,” he outlined a plan for consistent Bitcoin purchases from 2025 to 2035, when 99% of all Bitcoin will be issued.
The proposal suggests the government acquire Bitcoin daily and hold it as a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. According to Saylor, this approach could strengthen the US financial system and ensure long-term economic stability.
Saylor Tells US Government: “Never Sell Your Bitcoin”
Saylor presented his plan at the White House Crypto Summit on March 7, addressing President Donald Trump, government officials, and crypto industry leaders. He recommended a “Never sell your Bitcoin” policy, stating that by 2045, the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could generate over $10 trillion annually.
The document states that from 2025 to 2045, the US Treasury could gain between $16 trillion and $81 trillion through Bitcoin holdings. As a result, Saylor describes Bitcoin as a long-term economic resource. He believes it could support the US financial system.
Trump Signs Executive Order on Bitcoin Reserve
On the same day, Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile. The order directs government agencies to manage Bitcoin seized in criminal cases and create a budget-neutral strategy to acquire more Bitcoin without additional taxpayer costs.
The order does not immediately allocate funds for Bitcoin purchases but instructs the Treasury and Commerce departments to explore acquisition methods.
Saylor’s 25% Proposal Surpasses Previous Bitcoin Plans
Saylor’s proposal for the US government to hold 25% of Bitcoin’s total supply far exceeds previous plans. Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced the Bitcoin Act in July 2024, recommending the US acquire 1 million BTC, or 5% of Bitcoin’s supply.
If the government follows Saylor’s strategy, it would control 5.25 million BTC. This would increase its influence over the Bitcoin market.
Strategy Continues Bitcoin Accumulation
Strategy has continued adding to its Bitcoin holdings. On Feb. 24, the company purchased an additional $2 billion worth of Bitcoin, increasing its total holdings to nearly 500,000 BTC.
The purchase came after a $2 billion senior convertible note offering. Consequently, it reinforced Saylor’s long-term Bitcoin acquisition strategy. In addition, the company has raised capital to expand its Bitcoin reserves. This, in turn, aligns with Michael Saylor’s view of Bitcoin as a key asset.
