Recently, Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, expressed his views on whether the United States would establish a 'strategic Bitcoin reserve' during an interview. He showed great confidence in this idea, believing that the possibility of its realization is high.
In the 'Bankless' podcast, Scaramucci further explained his perspective. He revealed that he has close relationships with some important political figures who support Bitcoin initiatives. He emphasized that the Senate currently has enough supportive votes to push this plan forward, and bipartisan support is key, as it reflects the broad acceptance of the proposal.
Despite doubts from the outside, Scaramucci remains optimistic about the prospects. He speculated that the U.S. might purchase an additional 400,000 to 500,000 Bitcoins, and with the existing 200,000 reserves, the total Bitcoin reserve could reach a very high level. He pointed out, 'Trump wants to push this forward, and he has already taken control of the Senate Banking Committee. Additionally, Tim Scott is also supportive and is about to become the chairman of that committee.'
Scaramucci also mentioned that there could be breakthroughs in gaining support from the Democratic Party. He stated that the younger generation of Democratic senators is more inclined to support Bitcoin compared to the traditional faction, while older traditional figures like Elizabeth Warren and Sherrod Brown may continue to oppose.
He further compared Bitcoin to gold, suggesting that Bitcoin could become a digital reserve asset. He posed the question, if the U.S. currently holds over $600 billion in gold reserves, why not convert some of it into Bitcoin? He even predicted that in the future, parts of the gold reserves might be sold to purchase Bitcoin. Although the idea of the government establishing a Bitcoin reserve is bold, its feasibility is increasing as Bitcoin's potential as 'digital gold' is gradually recognized.
