Fidelity analyst expects growing adoption of Bitcoin as a strategic asset. Matt Hogan, research analyst at Fidelity Digital Assets, predicts that "several countries, central banks, and sovereign wealth funds to explore strategic Bitcoin allocations this year." Hogan argues that countries facing economic challenges like inflation and currency devaluation should consider including Bitcoin in their reserve assets. He believes that if the U.S. takes the lead in adopting Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, it could encourage other countries to follow suit. This prediction is supported by recent news that several countries, including El Salvador and the Central African Republic, have already adopted Bitcoin as legal tender. Additionally, a growing number of institutional investors are adding Bitcoin to their portfolios. If Hogan's prediction is correct, it could lead to a significant increase in the demand for Bitcoin and further drive up its price.
