Eyes are on the US, which could have its own BTC reserve in 2025.
Companies, as well as regions and nations, aim to have their bitcoin treasuries.
The discussion about creating bitcoin (BTC) treasuries is gaining ground globally. The United States, which could have its own BTC reserve in 2025, attracting great attention. Additionally, companies, regions and nations are also considering establishing their bitcoin treasuries.
Since mid-2024, the debate over strategic bitcoin reserves has intensified, especially at the state level, as President-elect Donald Trump promised to create a national reserve of BTC for the United States, following the example of El Salvador, a country pioneer by creating a bitcoin reserve in 2021, currently valued at more than $600 million.
At the same time, in the business field, interest in bitcoin reserves has grown, with dozens of companies and corporations announcing the creation of their own treasuries of BTC in the last quarter.
National BTC reserves spread like wildfire
At the national level, The debate has spread widely in the United States, where enthusiasm for a strategic BTC reserve has increased under Trump’s promise, held during the Bitcoin 2024 event, which could initially include more than 200,000 BTC under government control.
Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced bill for US to create 1 million coin bitcoin reserveeven proposing to sell gold reserves to buy BTCas reported by CriptoNoticias.
Everything indicates that this reservation express route could be createdthrough an executive order signed by Trump, of which there is already a draft that was released in mid-December. Now, the president of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, has clarified that this entity cannot hold BTC.
Despite this, in different US states, such as Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas and Oklahoma, steps have been taken to create your own bitcoin reservesas reported by CriptoNoticias. And it is estimated that more states are headed in that direction, according to local bitcoin organizations, such as the Satoshi Act Fund.
Outside the United States, in Brazil, Congressman Eros Biondini presented a bill to create a federal strategic reserve in BTC, and in Japan, Senator Satoshi Hamada urged the government to join the rush for national bitcoin reserves, highlighting his independence from national influences.
In Canada, the mayor of the city of Vancouver introduced a motion for the use of BTC as a reserve asset. And in Venezuela, the opposition leader María Corina Machado has spoken of the creation of a BTC reserve for the country, affected by the economic crisis and inflation.
In Russia, MP Anton Tkachev asked the government to establish a BTC treasury, similar to those of other currencies. Even Changpeng Zhao, former CEO of Binance, has recommended China consider a strategic bitcoin reserve, pointing out that it is the future of moneyas this newspaper reported.
Dozens of companies pounce on bitcoin
In the business sector, the trend has been similar. In November alone, 11 companies, from different countries and dedicated to different areas, announced the creation of their own strategic reserves of bitcoin.
As reported by CriptoNoticias, these were the companies Boyaa, Rumble, LQR House, Remixpoint, Genius Group, Cosmos Health, Jiva Technologies, Hoth Therapeutics, Thumzup Media Corp, Acurx Pharmaceuticals and SOS, who created their own BTC treasuries last month.
In addition to those, companies manufacturing components for electric vehicle batteries, such as Solidion Techology, as well as financial companies, such as Samara Asset Group, have followed this trend. The same with the Japanese company Metaplanet, which has earned the name “Japanese MicroStrategy” due to its strategy of constantly purchasing bitcoin for its treasury.
During December there were also companies that announced the creation of their own reserves, such as LEEF Brands, a company dedicated to the cannabis (marijuana) cultivation sector. which also adopted BTC as a strategic reserve asset.
This business move, to pounce on BTC and accumulate it in a strategic treasury, has been inspired by the success of MicroStrategy, the largest publicly traded company with BTC holdings. That entity has 439,000 coins in custody, being one of the great whales of the bitcoin market.
What’s coming in 2025?
The creation of a strategic bitcoin reserve in the United States by 2025 is the central pivot around which the ecosystem’s expectations revolve. However, this perspective is not without skepticism. Prominent investors such as Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, have expressed doubts about the feasibility and real impact of such a measure.
Novogratz has warned about BTC’s inherent volatility and lack of proper regulatory infrastructure to manage a national reserve of such a fluctuating asset.
Now, if the United States manages to achieve this reservation, it is anticipated that it could trigger a global domino effect. The influence of Donald Trump’s administration, with its stance in favor of the sector, has created a speculative fervor (FOMO) among other nations and states, who might be motivated to follow this example.
And the idea that a superpower like the United States validates BTC as part of its national reserves could legitimize and popularize the digital currency even more on the international stage. As Novogratz himself sees it, if the US does indeed create its stockpile, it will “force all other countries to follow” that example.
Dennis Porter, director of the Satoshi Act Fund, has been vocal on this issue, predicting that by the end of 2025 “a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve will be established in a G7 member country and a BRICS member country.” This statement, shared on social network X, suggests growing international recognition of bitcoin’s value as a store of value, similar to gold.
On the business front, the trend toward BTC adoption as a reserve asset appears to be accelerating. Inspired by the success of MicroStrategy, which has already converted a significant portion of its capital into BTC and plans to invest up to $42 billion more, many companies are watching closely. This move is not only fueled by FOMO, but also by BTC perception as a hedge against inflation and an investment opportunity high performance.
BTC reserves are set to be one of the most discussed and central topics in 2025. Adoption by governments and companies could mark a turning point in how this currency is perceived and used globally.
Interest in BTC as part of national and corporate reserves could drive the price of the cryptocurrency to new records. Firms such as Bernstein and Standard Chartered have projected that BTC could reach up to $250,000 in 2025based on the increase in institutional demand and the perception of BTC as a safe asset in times of economic uncertainty.
However, these forecasts are subject to market dynamics, regulation and global political and economic stability. Thus, the creation of strategic BTC reserves could, on the one hand, encourage the market to increase structural demand, and could also introduce new forms of volatility if policies or markets change dramatically.
Either way, 2025 promises to be a crucial year to watch this narrative around bitcoin develop.
