Everything you wanted to know about Bitcoin Strategic Reserve

[Barikui1]

Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko acknowledged the rising role of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in facilitating international payments, stating that $1.7 billion in external payments were made through crypto exchanges in the first seven months of 2025.

It's no longer news that Bitcoin has really been instrumental in making payment on trades among nations, and due to the fact that his nation is being sanctioned by the European union, the only best possible way to make payments when doing trades with Russia or any other nations, it's through the use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
What am just curious about is if all the sanction is lifted against his nation and all financial transaction that were restricted were lifted tomorrow or anytime in the future, will they will still be using Bitcoin in making payment with the same volume as they are doing now or their loyalty will switch? But regardless of anything else, I believe that Bitcoin is here to stay.

Alex Thorn: High Odds US Will Form Bitcoin Reserve in 2025.
Alex Thorn of Galaxy Digital believes the US may soon establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
Recent bills and executive orders signal progress, but some experts remain skeptical about the timing.
Other countries like Kyrgyzstan and Indonesia are also considering national bitcoin reserves, heightening urgency for US action.



Galaxy Digital’s head of firmwide research, Alex Thorn, believes there is a strong likelihood that the United States government will establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) before the end of 2025.
Thorn stated in a recent post:
“I still think there’s a strong chance the US 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.”
Signs the reserve plan is progressing
In March, President Trump signed an executive order to establish the SBR and a US Digital Asset Stockpile, but a concrete strategic plan has yet to be confirmed.
Nevertheless, momentum appears to be building: US lawmakers recently introduced a bill instructing the Treasury to report on the feasibility and logistics of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
Additionally, Trump’s administration reportedly remains interested in the SBR, despite minimal reference to it in official policy documents.
Diverging views
Not all market participants are convinced the reserve will materialize this year.
Dave Weisburger, former chairman of CoinRoutes, suggested the move is more likely in 2026 and commented that the administration may delay any announcement until it quietly accumulates its initial target holdings.
Global momentum
Some prominent Bitcoin figures, such as Jan3 founder Samson Mow, have argued that the US risks falling behind other nations if it delays its accumulation strategy.
Mow warned the US could be front-run by countries like Pakistan.
Recent developments include Kyrgyzstan progressing legislation for a state cryptocurrency reserve, and discussions in Indonesia about a national bitcoin reserve to support economic growth.

Maybe they realize that if they didn't adopt they might missed lots of opportunity on Bitcoin.

Surely JPM want to capture opportunities with Bitcoin.
The important thing is that probably those opportunities are still measured in USD terms, rather than in BTC terms.
Thisi still is a major flaw in the way most are reasoning.

Some people seem to be peculiar types who are still looking at Bitcoin through dollar glasses. Big investors should see and accept Bitcoin as a real asset, Bitcoin is a store of value, if someone only calculate the profit and loss in terms of dollars, it will be the biggest mistake. The idea of Bitcoin is that it is the unit of account that means Bitcoin is the unit of account. The saddest thing is that big banks are accepting Bitcoin but they are still mentally stuck in the fiat system, they are only calculating how many dollars worth of Bitcoin there are, basically their focus is still on dollars. They are measuring the power of Bitcoin in dollars, not in Bitcoin. And this is the biggest mistake. JPM thinks that buying Bitcoin may make a huge dollar profit, but the real Bitcoin view is - how much Bitcoin someone can accumulate, that is the real asset. Because Bitcoin itself is scarcity/insufficient and hard money.

I don't really get the point you are trying to make here and you seems confuse yea, what do you mean by some people seem to be peculiar types?. If big investors doesn't see Bitcoin as a real asset then why do you think they are investing on it? It means they already know and see the potential of Bitcoin that's why they are buying and storing for long term because in the future Bitcoin will or may do X of its value or worth now. Bitcoin is not only measure in Dollar because different country has different fiat. I would also like to know what you mean by Bitcoin is the unit of account.

I really like Alex Thorn; his podcast GALAXY BRAINS is of real added value.
I don't know how much insider he has in this topic, but I guess that he would care about his reputation.
Recently, the price has been quite suppressed. Hopefully, this is the last bolt before unleashing the spring.

Ok, since you don't understand what this means, let me explain it with a simple example, I hope you understand. Suppose you are a Nigerian, you go to a shop to buy a mobile phone and ask the shopkeeper how much the phone costs? The shopkeeper says ₦50,000, then Naira is the unit of account here. The same thing happens to a person from El Salvador and if he goes to a shop and asks how much the phone costs, the shopkeeper says 0.00030 BTC, that means BTC is the unit of account here. In economics, unit of account is a measure by which the price of goods, assets, etc. is determined, simply put, the unit of callulation is called unit of account. In the USA, the price of goods is calculated in USD, which means that the dollar is the unit of account. Now in most parts of the world, the price of goods is calculated in USD, which means that USD is the unit of account here. Hopefully, you understand now.

Michael saylor who has been advocating for the US to buy 1 milion Bitcoin will be meeting with US lawmakers in Washington DC to discuss the Bill to buy 1 million Bitcoin. If Michael saylor is able to convince the lawmakers,it's going to be a game changer,the greatest nations  Bitcoin Buying in history, hopefully the lawmakers will agree with Michael saylor.

[Bluedrem]

To get the Thai people involved in Bitcoin, the Thai government has reduced the tax on profits from Bitcoin to 0%.
Whereas the Thai government has to pay a fairly good amount of tax on profits from fiat currency. This zero tax on Bitcoin will get the Thai people involved in Bitcoin more. I think this can be a breakthrough role for a strong foundation for the future economy of Thailand. This will make people lean towards long-term investment.

This round table is hosted by Digital Chambers and its affiliate, Digital Power Network. The meeting would be attended by US lawmakers and 18 industry leaders which include Strategy chairman Michael Saylor,  Fundstrat CEO Tom Lee and MARA CEO Fred Thiel. Based on reports they would discuss issues like the US buying Bitcoin with budget-neutral strategies and the challenges of the BITCOIN Act. Issues regarding Bitcoin mining will also be discussed since several Bitcoin mining executives such as CleanSpark executives Matt Schultz and Margeaux Plaisted, MARA’s Jayson Browder, and Bitdeer’s Haris Basit will be attending the meeting. Hoping that the meeting's outcome will be beneficial to the industry

I don't know if that X post is related to their August 2025 implementation but check this https://thailand.themispartner.com/guides/5-year-crypto-tax-exemption-thailand-2025-guide/

Its been highlighted in that article that its only applicable on their local license platform. Those offshore trades still taxable, this implementation they made would provably boost the interest of their citizens to deal only with the platforms regulated in their country. Also with this they can invite lots of those platforms to be legal on their jurisdiction then earn some revenues with them.

This is really a good for by Thailand also with their citizens and they are running in good side especially that their would provably get long term benefits for those implementations they did.

Pakistan invites global crypto firms to apply for operating licenses: Report
Pakistan has invited international crypto firms to apply for licenses under its regulatory authority PVARA, with strict criteria and global compliance standards.



Pakistan has opened the door to international crypto businesses, inviting leading exchanges and virtual asset service providers (VASPs) to apply for licenses under a new federal regime.

Source link: https://cointelegraph.com/news/pakistan-invites-global-crypto-firms-to-apply-for-licenses

Pakistan has invited the creation of a crypto license for its people, because here Pakistan has called for a license for crypto currency to change the fate of its people. However, I think that this license is very profitable and the possibility of creating a Bitcoin treasury company from here is the most important, it is very important for various institutions and individuals who are ready to form a treasury company to do this license.
This license will change the fate of the people of Pakistan, and Bitcoin is the most important thing to make the future stronger, which the people of Pakistan have understood..

CYNTHIA LUMMIS MEETING AT THE US CAPITOL TO DISCUSS THE STRATEGIC #BITCOIN RESERVE IS JUST HOURS AWAY .1 MILLION BTC IN AMERICA. IT'S COMING

https://x.com/pete_rizzo_/status/1967912259021308066?t=HkgLS1lbztFO-jJUV4yIRg&s=19

Senator Cynthia Lummis is proposing a law on Bitcoin Strategic Reserve. If it is implemented, America, as the most powerful country in the economy, will start holding Bitcoin officially. This will have a huge impact on the Bitcoin market. This decision is very important for America. Because Bitcoin can be a means of getting rid of economic instability caused by abnormal inflation and devaluation of the dollar by some superpower countries. And I strongly believe that in the future Bitcoin will be  the most valuable digital currency in the world as it is now. At that time, the country that has the most Bitcoin will play the most role in the global economy.

US Lawmakers Meet Saylor, Lee on Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
US lawmakers are meeting with bitcoin industry leaders to discuss advancing the BITCOIN Act.
The goal is to fund a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve through budget-neutral strategies, avoiding taxpayer impact.
Representatives from mining, venture capital, and traditional finance will participate in the roundtable discussions.




US lawmakers are set to meet with 18 leading figures from the bitcoin industry, including Strategy chairman Michael Saylor and BitMine’s Tom Lee, to explore ways to advance the BITCOIN Act and establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve for the United States.
The roundtable, hosted by The Digital Chambers and The Digital Power Network, will focus on identifying budget-neutral strategies to enable the federal government to acquire one million bitcoin over five years.
The purchases, as outlined in President Donald Trump’s executive order, must not impact taxpayers and would be carried out through the Federal Reserve and Department of the Treasury.
The BITCOIN Act, introduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis in March, is the central legislative proposal under consideration.Industry leaders to pitch funding solutions
The Digital Chambers explained the meeting’s core objective:
“The focus will be on ensuring the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is advanced in a budget-neutral way and building the coalition needed to move the BITCOIN Act forward.”
Ideas for budget-neutral funding include reevaluating the Treasury’s gold certificates and leveraging tariff revenue.
Executives will also discuss what has caused recent delays in the bill’s progress and seek to understand the main concerns among lawmakers.
Broader industry representation
The meeting will also include bitcoin mining executives from companies like CleanSpark, MARA, and Bitdeer, as well as representatives from venture capital firms such as Off the Chain Capital and Reserve One.
Traditional finance will be represented by executives from Western Alliance Bank and Blue Square Wealth.
Legislative context and next steps
The BITCOIN Act follows earlier efforts in Congress to pass digital asset-related laws, including the GENIUS Act stablecoin bill.
The outcome of the roundtable may determine the momentum behind the US government’s potential bitcoin reserve acquisition.

US Lawmakers Meet Saylor, Lee on Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

I strongly doubt anything will come out of this meeting.
A lot of stars have to align before the US is actually able to buy Bitcoin.
But good to know that they are still (pretending to) work on the issue.

[STT]

They got to have money spare first, is the budget in surplus or deficit because apart from confiscation or redirecting other peoples holdings of BTC I dont see how they acquire the Bitcoin to have a reserve of them.
  If they allowed taxes to be paid by certain sector companies in Bitcoin & then held those taxes as a reserve it might serve a dual purpose for stimulating the sector and increasing the nations reserves genuinely.  That would be something remarkable but I dont expect to hear it

More than a dozen members of the crypto industry gathered here, including many Bitcoin holding stars, to discuss the creation of a Bitcoin Strategic U.S. Reserve, hosted by Cynthia Loomis and Nig Begich. While the Bitcoin Holding Reserve Act could certainly include a path to buying 1 million Bitcoins if it passes, MSTR CEO Michael Saylor is working hard to ensure that this is done properly. With all the Bitcoin holding professionals present, the chances of a U.S. Bitcoin reserve are greatly increased.

Political pressure make this situation hard to happen.

Because even if their President is Bitcoin friendly there are still policy maker in US see bitcoin as threat to their financial stability or monetary sovereignty.

I think Jerome Powell and Austan Golsbee says that Bitcoin will not be added on FED's balance sheet due to many legal issues.

Maybe this is the reason on why US government just settle to create a reserve with their seize coins.
