Everything you wanted to know about Bitcoin Strategic Reserve

[fillippone]

It is not a proper Bitcoin strategic reserve, but it closely resembles it:



A sovereign funds investing in IBIT.
Next steps: move to real Bitcoin, not paper Bitcoin.

It takes a lot of energy to move a heavy object at the beginning and then when the object starts moving, it requires less energy to operate it. Similarly, when Bitcoin purchases started in the European region, it seems that European countries have realized the reality of Bitcoin. Especially since a financially strong region like Luxembourg has understood this and they are currently buying Bitcoin ETFs, I think in the near future they will also buy Bitcoin directly and include Bitcoin as their strategic asset along with other assets. So far, most of the countries that have come out publicly with Bitcoin were American and Asian countries, there were very few countries in Europe involved with Bitcoin. Since some European countries (including Luxembourg) have started thinking about Bitcoin, it is understood that Bitcoin is going to start spreading in Europe in the future. I think the more countries, the more people, and the more groups get involved with Bitcoin, the more Bitcoin's decentralization will spread and the more it will benefit Bitcoin.

I agree with the CEO of Binance. Because Bitcoin is being adopted by one country after another. In all those countries, not the general public but MPs and ministers are adopting Bitcoin. This is increasing the popularity of Bitcoin. Seeing one country accepting Bitcoin, other countries are thinking of adopting Bitcoin.

I think a country creating a Bitcoin reserve strategy and MP's and ministers adopting Bitcoin are two different things. If MPs and ministers adopt Bitcoin, that's entirely their personal business, and not simply about establishing a Bitcoin reserve. But when a country has regulations governing Bitcoin reserves, only then can it be considered an official step, and the country has legally established Bitcoin as its reserve.

And it's not that which is increasing Bitcoin's popularity, but rather that more countries are seeing Bitcoin as a strategic asset for hedging, and its value will continue to increase in the future, and that is the reason why countries are one by one starting to look at Bitcoin as their strategic reserve.

JUST IN: 🇰🇪 Kenyan parliament passes Bitcoin and crypto law in an attempt to boost investments

The "Virtual Asset Providers Bill" seeks to address worries over a lack of clear regulations




Kenya has passed a law in parliament to allow Bitcoin holding, it is quite reasonable and a reality to fulfill the dream of taking the country further in the future. Holding Bitcoin will make it possible for the country to achieve success in the future, here various countries are using Bitcoin as a strategic reserve. However, with the passing of the Bitcoin law, their Bitcoin purchase should attract attention.

This could be a smart move from third world countries, trying to get hold of their future.
What i am skeptical about is the innovation by law.
Like in El Salvador, adoption cannot be imposed by law: to steer away a country from IMF into Bit pin you need real adoption.

JPMorgan has re-confirmed it will allow clients to trade Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
 On trading crypto, Lucas said that, “Jamie [Dimon] was pretty clear during investor day that we were going to be involved in the trading of that, but custody is not on the table at the moment,”
The bank has been experimenting with deposit tokens and stablecoins, tools that enable cash-like digital assets on distributed ledgers

I'm not going to believe that just because the CEO of Binance says so, as he is an interested party. Also because those alleged purchases, at least for the moment, are not being reflected in the price.

Regarding what you said about ministers and MPs, I don't know how you came to that conclusion, on that point I agree with moneystery. I think that if states were really accumulating Bitcoin for their reserves and announced it at some point, it would be quite beneficial for us.

Kenya stepping up with clear crypto rules is a game changer. That chart with the Kenyan flag is cool and shows pride and progress. I think this will spark a wave of new investors. Many say that Kenya's introduction of crypto regulations is a good thing, but some of them suspect that it may be a tax law in the name of protecting investors.

The US Government acquired 127,271 BTC (~$12B) tied to an international fraud scheme run by Cambodian national Chen Zhi,a recent Bitcoin seizures from criminals . This seizure would bring the US government's total to 325,283 BTC (worth over $37B). The Seized wealth  from confiscated criminals assets have made the US as a country with the Largest Bitcoin portfolio in the world. The US govt have not sold a single Bitcoin but has continue to increase it's Bitcoin holdings over the years.They wouldn't be any need of selling the Golds to buy Bitcoin for the strategic Reserve. with this large Bitcoin holdings estimated over $37 billions dollars, The US will now have enough BTC to fund its National strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The wait is long over due.

The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Executive Order prohibits the government from selling any BTC unless it is:

(a) approved by the Treasury,
(b) required by a court, or
(c) needed to return funds to verified victims of crime.

The U.S. Government now holds 327,000 Bitcoin, making it the 2nd largest Bitcoin holder in the world.



The 327,000 BTC figure seems very high to me, and I haven't found any sources that support this number. Most reliable sources put the US government's holdings at around 200,000 BTC.
So, I think the claim of holding 327,000 BTC is suspect without solid evidence. What do you think? Now I understand and find the source below.

Senator Cynthia Lummis says the 127,000 #Bitcoin seized today can "strengthen America's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve"

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Congressman Troy Downing to introduce bill that would cement President Trump's executive order allowing #Bitcoin in 401(k)s into law 👀



Congressman Troy Downing will introduce the bill, a strong bill that would force Trump's executive order to hold Bitcoin. It is very likely that Trump himself will express interest in introducing this bill, because the bill is very strong and plays a significant role in further promoting Bitcoin.

While it is good that the US government has decided not to sell any Bitcoin it holds currently. This is a clear departure from the past administration, which constantly auctioned Bitcoin. But does it mean that the only means the US wants to build its reserve is through seizures? If this is the case, they might end up targeting some legitimate institutions because they want to keep stockpiling. I thought they should show commitment to keeping a Bitcoin reserve by investing in the sector.    

But I am pleased that the US and UK governments were able to dismantle the scam network of the Cambodian business empire, Prince Group. These scammers operated ten scam compounds which had about 1,250 mobile phones that controlled around 76,000 social media accounts. The recovered $14bn (£10.5bn) in bitcoin should be sent back to victims and not kept as reserve by the US.

It is crazy how countries are hitting the gold mine whenever they seized stolen stuffs like drugs, money, gold and Bitcoin, automatically it belongs to them but to me it feels like stealing.

Every fraud schemes leaves a trace behind, that's why they are able to caught these criminals, and when traces are left behind it means they can find the rightful owners of those Bitcoin if they want to, but suddenly they will turn it into their own because they found it? It's crazy.

I saw the tweet on X and the person said the US government somehow have a way of hacking through Bitcoin wallet, I don't believe it at first but the source is from a good hacker, a popular one, xzbtc or something, I don't remember the handle again.

This is really a very good and very convenient approach for New York City, which the Mayor of New York City has taken. Because in this way, many things will develop and many improvements will be seen in the business sector. For example, when a business is connected through a blockchain network, it will be almost impossible to hack the network of that business. The name of their city will spread all over the world and from this perspective, everyone in the world will be inclined to invest in their country. Their transactions will become much more convenient. This is a very beautiful and very convenient approach taken by the Mayor of New York City.

KENYA'S PRESIDENT OFFICIALLY SIGNS BILL TO LEGALIZE #BITCOIN AND CRYPTO INTO LAW

https://x.com/pete_rizzo_/status/1978423921687871769?t=4P9z8f3SOTPirqjb42xviw&s=19

Kenya president William ruto signed the bill to legalized Bitcoin into Law. Kenya have made History by becoming the first Africa nation to legalized Bitcoin. This is a remarkable achievement that will open doors for more Bitcoin adoption in Kenya and Africa at large. For legalising the use of Bitcoin, Kenya economy will improve greatly. What do you think.

This are most of the reason why some countries are yet to accept it. They are not transparent that why the are avoiding it, but the should know that no matter the avoidance it will take over the future.

Bitcoin is holding steady in the $110,000s today, a little over a week after surging to a new all-time high above $126,000.

Bitcoin price slipped from 24-hour highs near $113,600 to the low $110,000s today. This price action follows a rough weekend that saw over $19 billion in leveraged positions liquidated, forcing more than 1.6 million traders out of their positions as cascading margin calls swept across exchanges.
