Everything you wanted to know about Bitcoin Strategic Reserve

[endut15]

Solid write-up, thanks for putting this together. The comparison with traditional strategic reserves makes the idea much clearer, especially for people who are new to the concept. Still feels early and politically uncertain, but it’s interesting to see how seriously this is starting to be discussed.

THE 1st #BITCOIN AND CRYPTO MARKET STRUCTURE BILL MARKUP WILL HAPPEN THIS WEEK

REGULATION IS COMING 🚀

Source:https://x.com/i/status/2010437808289198164
Hopefully, after this plan, fraud will decrease a lot. And people will be more confident in Bitcoin. People from all walks of life will benefit from investing in Bitcoin. And large institutions will be able to invest without any hesitation. In the long run, stability and acceptability will increase.

More regulation will not reduce fraud, because regulation only aims for more control and puts the crypto market under stricter supervision. It won't give you any protection, it's just an illusion, there's no protection for users, it's all just to protect the government's interests.

And don't be mistaken, without regulation people can have more confidence in Bitcoin-- it's not regulation that makes people more confident in Bitcoin, but the value of Bitcoin itself. This regulation is just part of the government's plan to be able to monitor and take more advantage, it does not guarantee real security or other positive aspects as you mean.

you are absolutely right. regulation will only protect the interests of large corporate participants. ordinary users will face increased tax pressure, control over the movement of funds, introduction of all sorts of transaction reporting and so on.

Bitcoin was created as a tool for independent financial management which means you have to take all the risks by yourself rather than relying on the government or corporations.

Also, this piece of regulation has been blocked. There was a bipartisan coalition on the text of the Bill, which will need more discussion before approval.
The fact is, the regulation was not as crypto-friendly as expected. Coinbase CEO tweeted a harsh statement against a piece of regulation, and banks are also quite sceptical.

It's crazy how far Bitcoin has come. Just a few years ago, most of these countries saw Bitcoin as the next biggest scam; today, they're all proposing to have a Bitcoin reserve. Even Trump, who is the most pro-Bitcoin figure today, was very much against Bitcoin in 2019. It just shows how far Bitcoin has come.

I know bitcoin as an alternative currency was Satoshi's original idea but I don't know if he thought that alternative currency would be Federal Reserve one day.
Bitcoin has a reserve in different states will mean more scarcity while the demand will increase and that will mean an increase in prices. This might make Bitcoin get to prices we haven't imagined.

It was a nice summary you made. Very easy to understand and concise.

I know that there are people who still don’t understand bitcoin but seeing someone who is very educated and smart thinking negative about bitcoin, I totally agree with that everything you wanted to know more about bitcoins strategies will definitely reserve and through bitcoins holding the people of the country will also be able to become financially, but the value of bitcoins itself this regulation is just part of governments plan to be able monitor and take more advantage, but if bitcoins success more people in there country will provably earn huge especially if then choose to hold.

This has been blocked but it doesn't mean they already abandoning it. Lawmakers that support this law still fixing those problems they are facing and negotiate those parties that need to settle.

Many really thought that they are going to see another good law but lots concerned parties show some frustration since they are trying to pass a not crypto friendly law.

Coinbase frustration towards that law is great sign that there's something wrong happening and good if they pay attention on the concern raised. So that they can pass a more better version which is fair to everyone.

Since they first announced to accept Bitcoin at their stores, this is the first time that Steak 'n Shake has made a Bitcoin purchase for their Bitcoin strategic reserve. It's not a massive amount, like what other companies are doing, but considering that this is their first act of making a purchase, it means that they have begun to commit to building their strategic Bitcoin reserves-- not just by going through all the Bitcoin sales on their store.

This is a very smart move for Steak 'n Shake because not only are they gradually building up their strategic Bitcoin reserves, but at the same time they are benefiting from the adoption of Bitcoin in their stores with the company growing so well since they accepted Bitcoin.

This is really a huge step forward for them because in May 2025, this American restaurant accepted Bitcoin payments and then I made a topic that Steak n Shake accepted Bitcoin strategic reserve, that was on October 31st and it is noteworthy that all their sales are automatically added to the reserve and it is seen that the sales of this company have increased dramatically.

So looking at their progress, it is evident that in a very short period of time, just eight months, they have taken the most significant step in accepting Bitcoin and the company announced yesterday that this American burger company has added 10 million dollars to increase their strategic Bitcoin reserve and we can see that this company has created a self-sufficient system.

All this drama is just for Donald Trump's benefit. Donald Trump III does not buy Bitcoin himself but promises to keep the seized Bitcoin in strategic reserves, because he had given such hints before the election. But after the election, the complete opposite happened, so he has blocked the sale of the seized Bitcoin from this confiscated Samourai wallet and has promised to keep Bitcoin as a strategic reserve. I think this is completely dramatic.

This is good start to add financial value on their company.

Maybe not massive amount just like what we have seen with other established company, but everything starts with those what people think small investments.

MicroStrategy didn't start as big company so if they are consistent with their accumulation and frequently announce it to gather lots of exposure who knows Steak and Shake will became huge in future.

it seems to me that neither Coinbase nor the banks care whether the law is crypto-friendly or not. they just want the law to be friendly to their business. Coinbase wants to be able to pay interest to consumers for holding stablecoins and thus attract large sums and many users. banks are against such approach because they are afraid people will start withdrawing their deposits.

all these big businesses only think about themselves and they don't really care about the crypto space. and all must remember - the more regulation, the more problems for ordinary holders.

The one thing that doesn't make sense to me, is announcing this. The Serbian statement of making it happen behind closed doors makes more sense.
If you're going to buy a significant chunk of any market, prices will increase. The same thing happens when a company announces it's interest to buy another company, and it's now happening with Bitcoin. If the US government wants to buy 800 kBTC (for those numbers we should start using "kilo Bitcoin"), they're paying more already just because they announced it.

I'm not buying the "taxpayer-neutral" part. One way or another, if government spends money, that comes from taxpayers. They may make it look different on paper, but there's also an ever increasing debt that could have been reduced with the same money.

The "new" idea concerns repricing the Federal Reserve Certificates at mark-to-market valuations: the certificates were issued at a statutory gold price of $42.22/oz in 1973 and could now be valued at over $2,600/oz.

Gold didn't go up 6058% in value, the dollar dropped 98.38%. If they're moving towards a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, then the value (measured in dollars) will go up forever due to eternal inflation.
That makes me think the BSR is just a way to join the Bitcoin train, while protecting the dollar printing instead of bringing back sound money.

Anything you need to know about bitcoins strategic most reserve, The US government  sign to establish  a strategic bitcoin reserve like that others companies are doing, but considering that this is there first act of making a purpose but the value of bitcoins it self, this regulation is part of government to be able to monitor under president Donald thump signed and executive order  in the march of 2025 to establish  a strategic reserve, government just need to be protected it because there’s no protection for users.

Crypto capital of the world, this reserve will consist Of bitcoins forfeited by federal agencies
There’s a bipartisan Collings of the text of billing which will need more discussion before approval. And again there’s are some people that are still doubting about bitcoins strategic but most of them there are illiterate.

There was an explicit accusation by Jack mallers against Ripple, the company behind the XRap token, of lobbying against thecinstitutiin of a bitcoin reserve.
I have no clue about this being true, or to which exact act Jack Mallers is referring to, but I tend to believe he is right!

We can already see that Kansas has taken a groundbreaking step in Bitcoin adoption and their move is that Kansas lawmakers have introduced Senate Bill 352 and I totally think the most significant role behind their introduction of this bill is that they want to adopt a strategic reserve of Bitcoin. Even we can all see the state Senator Craig Bowser has played an important role behind this initiative, it's clear he wants to allocate up to 10% of his public retirement system to Bitcoin exchange traded products , so it can be said that this initiative they have taken in early 2026 is very reasonable.

Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Kansas: SB 352 Proposes State Cryp https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/strategic-bitcoin-reserve-kansas-sb-352-state-crypto-fund?srsltid=AfmBOopCQYPEVl5WvgiDXicWn-hoWhOJr0nxJoEezjjMCbMYy8dL9L_p

KPERS and the 10% Bitcoin ETF Allocation
In a secondary but equally significant move, Senator Bowser has advocated for the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System (KPERS) to allow up to a 10% allocation in Bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETFs). This aligns with a broader national trend where pension funds are seeking "digital gold" exposure to diversify away from traditional bonds.

No matter how much money Ripple spends, now is the time to be patient, I am waiting for this announcement where Ripple will be a stablecoin, Ripple itself will be declared a useless currency. It will definitely not survive in comparison with Bitcoin, it is going to be released very soon Ripple stablecoin.

you are absolutely right. regulation will only protect the interests of large corporate participants. ordinary users will face increased tax pressure, control over the movement of funds, introduction of all sorts of transaction reporting and so on.

Bitcoin was created as a tool for independent financial management which means you have to take all the risks by yourself rather than relying on the government or corporations.

That's all you're saying now. But what will happen next? When regulation becomes inevitable, what then? Will projects really risk their very existence? I don't think so. They'll follow the regulator's lead. Naturally, there will be those who absolutely refuse to be part of a system that dictates its own terms, but surviving under such pressure will become much more difficult.

Hard for him to prove his allegation since his accusation against Ripple is just base only on his personal belief, towards U.S strategic reserve and making XRP to be consider as that to.

His claims just pure ideological and he don't have any evidence to back his claims. So his claims will not provably prosper if he bring it out legal scene. So what's happening is like Jack Maller is doing smear campaign against XRP.

Maybe he need to provide solid proof of his claim so people reading his statement will pay more attention and possibly believe on those things he said against XRP. Also Jack Maller is long time XRP hater since for what I read he believes that XRP is harmful on Bitcoin.

I must admit I didn’t check whether the video is new or just a retweet of something already known.
I find the accusation plausible, as I broadly know the “unfairness” of the Ripple Foundation, even if I would have liked some factual or semi-factual evidence of these claims. It’s too easy for him in his position to throw those accusations without any check.
