A new report from Fidelity Digital Assets predicts that 2025 will mark a significant turning point in the acceptance and use of Bitcoin on a global scale. Countries, central banks, sovereign wealth funds, and government treasuries are expected to start allocating Bitcoin as a strategy to cope with macroeconomic challenges.
Will Bitcoin Become a 'National Strategy'?
The report suggests that factors such as rising inflation, currency devaluation, and budget deficits are prompting countries to consider investing in Bitcoin.
• Bitcoin may reduce risk: Fidelity states that not allocating $BTC in the current context may be riskier than owning it.
• Strategic vision: Analyst Matt Hogan from Fidelity writes: “We expect countries and central banks to seek to establish a strategic position with Bitcoin.”
Bitcoin Legislation and the US
In the US, Senator Cynthia Lummis has proposed the 'Bitcoin Act of 2024', paving the way for the establishment of strategic reserves in Bitcoin.
• If this bill is passed, Fidelity predicts it will trigger a 'domino effect' as other countries will be forced to follow in the footsteps of the US to maintain political and financial balance.
• President-elect Donald Trump and Senator Lummis have both expressed interest in #bitcoin , but it will still take time to determine whether this plan will come to fruition in 2025.
Which Country Will Secretly Buy Bitcoin?
Fidelity believes that countries are likely to implement a strategy of quietly accumulating Bitcoin, in order to avoid driving up Bitcoin prices due to market sentiment.
Currently, countries such as the US, China, the UK, Ukraine, Bhutan, and El Salvador are the governments that hold the largest amounts of Bitcoin. However, most of these assets come from seizures or recovery of Bitcoin related to criminal activities.
Conclusion
2025 could become a turning point in Bitcoin's history, as more and more governments and large financial institutions recognize the potential of this asset. Owning Bitcoin is not only an economic strategy but also an important political step in the context of a volatile global economy.
