ChainCatcher news, VanEck's Head of Digital Asset Research Matthew Sigel commented on X regarding the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the U.S., stating that a Bitcoin reserve can convey a symbolic message of leadership and innovation while providing a financial hedge against an uncertain future.Bitcoin is digital gold, and Bitcoin in a redefined SDR basket or held by the Treasury could provide a neutral alternative to politically influenced currencies, thereby indirectly strengthening the dollar.
