Galaxy Digital's research department predicts that the U.S. government will not purchase Bitcoin in 2025, but instead will protect the existing Bitcoin in reserve.
'The U.S. government will not buy Bitcoin in 2025,' Mr. Alex Thorn, Head of Research at Galaxy Research, stated in a report on December 27. Mr. Thorn emphasized that the U.S. government will focus on maintaining and protecting the Bitcoin it already owns, while discussions about Bitcoin reserve policy will continue.
The U.S. government will continue to research Bitcoin reserve policy.
'There will certainly be changes in agencies and departments to research an expanded Bitcoin reserve policy,' said Mr. Thorn.
According to information from Spot on Chain, the U.S. government currently holds 183,850 BTC and several other altcoins, worth a total of approximately $17.513 billion, based on public addresses.

The Bitcoin Act 2024, proposed by Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, if passed, would allow the U.S. government to add Bitcoin to the national reserve by purchasing 200,000 BTC each year for five years, thereby accumulating 1 million Bitcoin that the government would hold for at least 20 years.
Another analyst from Galaxy, 'JW,' noted that there is a possibility that up to five companies in the Nasdaq 100 index and five countries will add Bitcoin to their balance sheets or national wealth funds.
A stronger stance from the U.S. government on Bitcoin adoption could create fierce competition among countries in mining or owning Bitcoin, according to JW's perspective:
'Competition between countries, especially non-aligned countries, those with large sovereign wealth funds, or even countries hostile to the United States, will drive the adoption of strategies to exploit or own Bitcoin.'
Other countries may observe the United States' move towards Bitcoin adoption.
On December 26, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba stated that he did not have enough information about the 'developments' of countries like the United States and others in adopting Bitcoin reserves.
'The government is struggling to provide a clear stance on this issue,' said Mr. Ishiba.
Meanwhile, Changpeng Zhao, former CEO of Binance, believes that China is one of the countries that may adopt a Bitcoin reserve strategy.
At the Bitcoin MENA conference held in Abu Dhabi on December 9, Mr. Zhao stated that he believes 'smaller countries' may be the pioneers in adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset, although this transition may occur slowly.
