Analyst: The likelihood of Trump establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve has increased
According to ChainCatcher news, Ledn co-founder Mauricio di Bartolomeo stated that the possibility of the United States establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve has increased after a strategic Bitcoin reserve bill was proposed in one state.Last week, shortly after the introduction of the "Pennsylvania Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Bill," the price of Bitcoin saw an increase. The bill aims to allow the state to invest 10% of certain funds, including general funds, rainy day funds, and state investment funds, in Bitcoin. According to the state's 2023 Department of Treasury annual investment report, these funds manage approximately $51 billion in assets, so a 10% allocation would represent about $5.1 billion in Bitcoin investment.Previously, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis proposed the "Bitcoin Bill," which suggests the creation of a Bitcoin strategic reserve in the U.S., requiring the purchase of up to 200,000 Bitcoins annually over five years. If these bills are passed into law, there could initially be $23.3 billion worth of Bitcoin acquired on the open market. Approval of either of the aforementioned bills would have a significant impact on other sovereign portfolios, sparking discussions among the world's largest asset management companies regarding Bitcoin allocation. In the coming months, the U.S. strategic reserve may be at the center of most Bitcoin-related topics.
