🎉 New Direction for Bitcoin: If Trump Leads a Global Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, Will Japan or Other Asian Countries Follow?
At a high-end New Year's Eve party titled "Bitcoin at $100,000" hosted by Michael Saylor in Miami, Simon Gerovich, CEO of Metaplanet (often referred to as Japan's MicroStrategy), shared his insights. He stated that if Trump truly adopts Bitcoin as a strategic reserve for the United States, it would have a significant impact globally.
The Japanese listed company Metaplanet has gained attention in the industry for adopting MicroStrategy's strategy by including Bitcoin in its treasury asset reserves. It is learning from MicroStrategy's successful experiences and seeking new growth points in the cryptocurrency market, injecting new vitality into the cryptocurrency investment boom in Japan and globally.
Simon believes that Bitcoin has become a hot topic of discussion among governments and corporate executives worldwide, and Metaplanet decided to embrace Bitcoin this April, aiming to accumulate more BTC for its shareholders.
He also predicts that if Trump follows through on his promise to establish Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, this could set a global precedent, prompting other countries, especially Japan, to follow suit.
Simon emphasized that Japan typically follows U.S. policies, and if Trump indeed adopts Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, then Japan and other Asian countries may take similar actions. He also speculated that Asian and developing countries might adopt Bitcoin strategies as a means to strengthen their national currencies.
Additionally, at a recent Bitcoin conference in Abu Dhabi, Simon revealed that after hearing from many governments, he believes they are secretly purchasing Bitcoin and hopes they will publicly disclose this news soon. He expects that after Trump announces the strategic reserve, other countries will also publicly acknowledge their Bitcoin holdings.
In short, if Trump truly starts hoarding Bitcoin, it could trigger a Bitcoin storm globally. Let's wait and see!
