The US Might Hoard Bitcoin Like It’s Halloween Candy-Sooner Than You Think! 🎃💰

by

So, a shiny new bill strutted into Congress on Tuesday, basically telling the US Treasury, “Hey, can you please check if hoarding Bitcoin as a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) is even a thing we can do, legally and technically?” Because nothing screams “fun” like making government crypto hoarding a national pastime.

Remember when Donald Trump did his March magic and signed an executive order setting up the grand idea of an SBR alongside a US Digital Asset Stockpile? Yeah, well – no one’s seen the deets yet. It’s like prepping a rave and forgetting to send the invites.

Enter Alex Thorn, the over-optimistic head honcho of research at Galaxy Digital. He’s basically betting that we’ll get an official “Yeah, we’re actually doing this” announcement on the SBR by year-end. Some folks on the market are less impressed, maybe they’ve seen too many government “surprises.”

i still think there’s a strong chance the U.S. government will announce this year that it has formed the strategic bitcoin reserve (SBR) and is formally holding BTC as a strategic asset

market seems to be completely underpricing the likelihood of such an announcement

Reports Have Disclosed Progress On Multiple Fronts (Or So They Claim)

Whispers from the administration’s crypto liaison say, “We’re interested, but don’t get too excited – it just got a cameo appearance in a policy paper.”

yes, i mean the U.S. government announcing, not bessent’s offhand comment on tv

that comment gave us hints of where they think the size of the reserve stands but is not a formal announcement of the SBR

Meanwhile, on the international catwalk, Bitcoin Indonesia chilled with officials on Aug. 6 discussing how state-sponsored crypto might juice their economy.

And over in Kyrgyzstan? They’re drafting a bill for a country-wide crypto reserve. Because why should America have all the fun, right?

Skeptics Say The Timeline Might Be As Slippery As Your Aunt’s Jello Salad-Welcome To 2026

Samson Mow, the Jan3 founder who doesn’t do patience, warned back in June that dragging feet could let other countries snag more Bitcoin. So, hurry up!

Dave Weisburger, former chairman of CoinRoutes, throws a cold bucket of realism on the party, guessing the US will only officially hold Bitcoin in 2026. Because procrastination is an art form.

Dave’s prediction? The government probably wants to sneak in and quietly accumulate BTC before bragging to the world. Covert crypto ops, anyone?

Markets Might Be Totally Clueless-Because That’s Our Forte

Thorn slammed out a tweetstorm suggesting the market’s sleeping on this possibility like it’s a boring Netflix drama. But guess what? If the US proudly waves the Bitcoin flag, demand dynamics could get wild.

Traders might?act like it’s Christmas morning 🎄, or freak out about rules, taxes, or new custodial nightmares. Pick your poison.

And because governments love secrets, the buildup could be a rollercoaster – prices might flip-flop when the curtain finally rises on America’s Bitcoin hoard.

Global Crypto Moves Are Basically Putting Pressure On Uncle Sam’s Shoulders

While we’re busy arguing about when or whether to start collecting Bitcoin, places like Central and Southeast Asia are like, “Hold my crypto wallet.”

Jakarta’s even flirted with the idea of using Bitcoin as an economic sidekick, raising the geopolitical temperature faster than a summer BBQ.

So yeah, executive orders and bills seem promising, but official “we own Bitcoin” bravado? Still TBD.

Oh, and just so you know – at the time of writing, Bitcoin was doing its thing at a casual $$116,058, up 0.9% on the day and 4.8% for the week. Basically, Bitcoin’s still the drama queen of assets. 💅
