$BTC 🚀 US Government and Bitcoin in 2025: Key Predictions

Galaxy Digital’s is saying: 🏦 No Bitcoin Purchases by the US Government

💬 “The US government will not purchase Bitcoin in 2025,” said Alex Thorn, Galaxy Research’s head of research, in a Dec. 27 report.

Instead, the government is expected to safeguard its existing Bitcoin holdings, estimated at 183,850 BTC (worth ~$17.36 billion).

💡 Thorn also noted ongoing discussions about a Bitcoin reserve policy within federal agencies.

🔍 Exploring a Bitcoin Reserve Policy

Thorn hinted at growing interest in creating a Bitcoin stockpile:

💬 “There will be some movement within the departments and agencies to examine an expanded Bitcoin reserve policy.”

📜 Proposed Bitcoin Act 2024:

Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis’ Bitcoin Act could revolutionize US Bitcoin strategy:

• Plan: Purchase 200,000 BTC annually for five years, totaling 1 million BTC.

• Hold Period: The Bitcoin would remain in US reserves for at least 20 years.

🌍 Global Competition on Bitcoin Reserves

Another Galaxy analyst, JW, predicts major players could join the Bitcoin movement:

• Up to 5 Nasdaq 100 companies and 5 nation states may add Bitcoin to their balance sheets or sovereign wealth funds.

• 🌐 Nation-State Competition:

“Unaligned nations, those with large sovereign wealth funds, or adversaries to the US will likely compete to mine or acquire Bitcoin,” JW said.

🌏 Other Nations Watching the US

• Japan: Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba expressed uncertainty about Bitcoin reserve policies, stating:

💬 “It is difficult for the government to express its views.”

💡 At the Bitcoin MENA conference in Abu Dhabi (Dec. 9), CZ predicted that smaller countries may lead the way in adopting Bitcoin reserves, albeit slowly.

🪙 Key Takeaway

The US government’s Bitcoin strategy—or lack thereof—could spark a global race for Bitcoin adoption, influencing both nation states and corporations alike. Will 2025 be the year of Bitcoin dominance on the global stage? Stay tuned!
