Everything you wanted to know about Bitcoin Strategic Reserve

[KawasakiNinja1_]

When we talk about Bitcoin companies, we used to only know about strategy, but nowadays there are many more companies that have a BTC reserve. Similarly, another Bitcoin treasury company is MetaPlant. They used to buy Bitcoin on a regular basis but are now buying Bitcoin again after a long break so in my view, this is a good thing for them because they are still confident in investing in BTC. MetaPlant's total Bitcoin holdings reached 35102.

Metaplanet has acquired 4279 BTC during Q4 2025 for $451.06 million at ~$105,412 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 568.2% YTD 2025.  As of 12/30/2025, we hold 35,102 $BTC acquired for ~$3.78 billion at ~$107,606 per bitcoin.

You (@KawasakiNinja1_) registered on the forum in the current month of this current year, i.e. December 6, but in terms of biting, this Metaplant company journey started in 2024, so take a good look at their purchase list, they have already deposited 39,102 Bitcoins and are now the fourth public treasury company. You are right that they used to buy Bitcoin on a regular basis, the last time this treasury company bought Bitcoin was on October 1, then this Tokyo listed company kept their holdings stable and we saw that before the new year i.e. today in December they acquired 4279 btc in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2025, even this company's purchase resulted in a 568.2% YTD yield on Bitcoin.

Arizona has made a good decision at the moment, introducing a bill to repeal the tax on Bitcoin holdings. The decision to repeal the tax is most appropriate, because if the tax is repealed, the number of Bitcoin holders among the general public will increase. There will be more Bitcoin holders, including personal Bitcoin holdings and various treasury companies, because holding Bitcoin tax-free will benefit from all aspects. So I think this decision is reasonable, but this bill should be implemented very quickly.

This must be an exciting news for people that lives in that place and I'm also happy for them because it is always a sad and annoying thing for someone to strve and invest and then later the government come and be demanding for tax and the most annoying part of it is that the fact that the tax percentage is very high I mean doesn't they have conscience and pity on how people are struggling to survive everyday especially those with children they are taking care of. This is indeed a welcome development in that place at least the people there will invest at ease and with free mind.

I am not from the US, and I am wondering whether a US State can repeal taxes on profits like this, or if they only repealed national taxes and there are still federal taxes.
Provided that becoming a US taxpayer is probably not a good Idea, if I am a US citizen and move to Arizona, can I do a cash-out without paying any tax on the profit?

The activities of all countries involved in Bitcoin are developing as we can now see Bhutan increasing its Bitcoin reserves as part of their strategic national plan. It is perhaps clear to all of us that this country is actively preserving this digital asset to diversify and secure its economy, and a few days ago I read here that Bhutan is building a Gelephu Mindfulness City using Bitcoin and the government will donate 10,000 Bitcoins to it.

However, the Prime Minister of a small country like Bhutan has mentioned that this Himalayan country is actively building Bitcoin reserves this is definitely a significant aspect for them.

Bhutan’s Prime Minister recently revealed that the Himalayan nation is actively accumulating a “strategic reserve” of Bitcoin.

Arizona repeal of the Bitcoin tax may attract more crypto traders and increase the number of long-term Bitcoin holders. But Arizona revenue will be reduced in the short term, as individuals may not have to pay taxes to the state when they withdraw their cash. So I can say without a doubt that there is no tax to be paid on cash withdrawals in Arizona.

This is really a great benefit to get if countries just learn to adapt on popularity of Bitcoin. They can provably get those things what Bhutan and other countries earned if their leader is up for changes.

Also look at this before IMF is discouraging El Salvador badly on their involvement on Bitcoin https://www.coindesk.com/business/2025/12/23/tensions-over-el-salvador-s-bitcoin-holdings-ease-as-imf-praises-economic-progress

But when they see that growth they now open on that idea and seems IMF now slowly changing their stance then might think that Bitcoin is actually not bad asset to invest.

I bet those cash withdrawals wouldn't be taxed in Arizona, but everything bought with that cash will.
So I guess the global impact on Arizona state finances would be positive.
I guess that without that tax levy, many bitcoiner wouldn't think about Arizona as a destination for their fiscal residency.

...

Let me correct you, they didn't donate, but pledged 10,000 Bitcoin from their stash through collateralized lending, yield strategies, and long-term holding, to be able to build the project.

But seeing a country as small as Bhutan do this is very good because they understand the potential of Bitcoin and are leveraging it for the development of their country. They even carefully manage their strategic reserves, not selling them, but using other means that allow them to maintain them while still raising funds to fund their strategic national projects.
And both their prime minister and king share the same view, seeing Bitcoin as a potential hedge against global financial instability, and holding it allows their country to protect its economy.

This intelligent and calculated move by them could serve as a great example for other countries, especially smaller ones often impacted by the global economy, that they can use Bitcoin as a way to protect and develop their countries.

If they do that, this is one of smartest move they could do since Arizona won't provably lose something by deciding not to tax the withdrawals.

Because they can still get revenue thru taxing from sales. With this set up this will make Arizona became more Bitcoin friendly state, which possible could able to attract more people who use Bitcoin and industries and this is good on their state. That great combination of consistent tax earnings and positive implementations of this plans is really a win for them and will bring more positive result to them.

Russia's largest bank SBERBANK, recently announced that it will launch Bitcoin BACKED loans. And it will do so using Bitcoin as collateral. If implemented, long-term holders will be able to hold onto their Bitcoin and take out loans without having to sell it. This will reduce the sudden pressure on the market, so I'm guessing the price will be somewhat stable. And those who are hodl will be able to use it as a new opportunity for investment or other business. The biggest thing for me is that this move by Russia's largest bank is giving Bitcoin full recognition.

Where does this plural news come from? The loan was issued as a trial experiment, called a "pilot." Furthermore, there's no exact amount of the cryptocurrency or the name of the cryptocurrency used for the loan. There's also no talk of Bitcoin adoption at this time, and cryptocurrency regulation in Russia is still being discussed, not adopted. Before publishing such news, it's necessary to verify reliable sources.

This isn’t a passed tax abolition law yet, but #Arizona legislators have introduced bills that would exempt virtual currency from state taxes and block local tax/fee powers on blockchain operations, with portions ultimately needing voter approval in the 2026 general election (e.g., Senate Bill 1044 and related constitutional changes). This proposal is part of a broader push in Arizona to modernize crypto policy, the state already signed a law allowing it to keep unclaimed digital assets in native form and create a Bitcoin & Digital Asset Reserve Fund without using taxpayer money, positioning Arizona as a leader in U.S. state-level crypto frameworks.

The state of Arizona is moving forward with its plans for the future, as it prepares to build its state more firmly on the crypto landscape. And as the number of Bitcoin holders increases, they will go further to strengthen their plans and take more action to strengthen their state.

In the current political climate in Venezuela, the leader of the Venezuelan opposition has proposed that they sell Venezuelan oil and hold Bitcoin as their national reserve.
Venezuela has 300 billion barrels of oil in its reserves, and the biggest topic of discussion right now is Donald Trump's interest in this oil. However, if Venezuela sells its oil and increases its national reserve of Bitcoin, it certainly seems to be able to get out of a lot of political influence.

In that case, the US could seize Bitcoin. I saw a tweet where it was mentioned that since 2018, Venezuela has exported 73.2 tons of gold, which was worth $2.7 billion in dollars at the time. They then converted it into Bitcoin through OTC brokers. In this context, they are supposed to have 600,000 Bitcoins, which is the third highest reserve after Satoshi and Statis.
Now if the US government seizes this huge amount of Bitcoin, they will remain unsold for a long time, which could cause the price of Bitcoin to increase. Or as you said, they want to sell oil and set up a reserve in Bitcoin by selling oil. If they really set up a reserve in Bitcoin and can keep it safe from being seized, the price of Bitcoin can still increase.

This is merely speculation, as there are no credible sources that can prove that Venezuela holds 600,000 Bitcoin reserves. If they had that much, there should be on-chain data that tracks evidence of such a massive accumulation, but so far, no source has been able to prove this. Furthermore, if they had such large reserves, they should have seen tangible benefits from their asset holdings, but just look at their economy, it's chaotic and out of control.

Its crazy that they are buying those speculations and maybe there's some entities try to spread fear after that arrest happen of Venezuelan President.

If they look at here https://www.analyticsinsight.net/bitcoin/top-countries-with-bitcoin-holdings-in-2025#google_vignette Venezuela is not been listed as one of countries that hold lots Bitcoin.

Media's just sensualize this situation to click bait those Bitcoin and crpyto investors interested to follow the recent situation happened in that country. But I guess those manipulators failed because Bitcoin didn't drop, but rather it climbs at $92k.
