Bitwise Research Director: Trump's Strategic Reserve Executive Order Will Reshape Institutional Crypto Investment Landscape, Institutions Have No Reason to Refuse to Increase Holdings
ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, investment analysts and leaders in the crypto industry believe that President Trump's executive order to establish the "U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and National Digital Asset Repository" will serve as a catalyst for the broader adoption of Bitcoin. Bitwise Research Director Ryan Rasmussen predicts that this will create a ripple effect, with other countries and private investors investing in Bitcoin with greater confidence. He emphasized, "The ultimate goal has never been 'the U.S. government buying all the Bitcoin in the world.'"Rasmussen stressed that large institutional investors, such as wealth management firms, financial institutions, and pension plans, now have "no reason" not to increase their exposure to Bitcoin and other crypto assets recognized by the Trump administration. He pointed out that as selling pressure diminishes, the likelihood of the U.S. government and states purchasing Bitcoin has increased, and he clearly stated, "The U.S. government's holding of Bitcoin would reduce the likelihood of the government banning Bitcoin to zero."
