Michael Saylor Urges U.S. to Accumulate 25% of Bitcoin Supply for National Reserve

MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor has laid out an ambitious plan for the United States government to acquire between 5% and 25% of Bitcoin total supply over the next decade, positioning the country as a dominant force in the global digital economy.

In a document titled “A Digital Assets Strategy to Dominate the 21st Century Global Economy,” Saylor suggests that the U.S. should consistently purchase Bitcoin on a daily basis between 2025 and 2035. The goal? To build a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve that could become a “perpetual source of prosperity” for the nation.

Saylor’s vision was presented on March 7 at the White House Crypto Summit, where he addressed President Donald Trump, key government officials, and leaders in the cryptocurrency industry. He reinforced one critical principle in his strategy: “Never sell your Bitcoin.” According to his projections, by 2045, the Bitcoin reserve could generate over $10 trillion annually, while potentially contributing between $16 trillion and $81 trillion to the U.S. Treasury over the next two decades.

Will the Government Buy More Bitcoin?

Just hours before Saylor’s presentation, Trump signed an executive order establishing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile. The initiative is initially funded with Bitcoin seized in criminal cases, but it does not currently include a direct plan to acquire additional BTC. Instead, the executive order mandates that the Treasury and Commerce departments develop “budget-neutral strategies” to grow the BTC stockpile—ensuring it does not add financial strain on taxpayers.

Saylor’s recommendation of a 25% supply allocation vastly surpasses previous governmental proposals. Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced the Bitcoin Act in July 2024, which suggested the U.S. should hold 1 million BTC (5% of the total supply). If the government were to follow Saylor’s plan, its holdings would reach a staggering 5.25 million BTC, significantly increasing the nation’s influence in the digital asset market.

MicroStrategy Continues Strategic Accumulation

While the U.S. government weighs its Bitcoin strategy, Saylor’s firm, MicroStrategy, continues to aggressively accumulate BTC. On February 24, the company purchased an additional $2 billion worth of BTC, bringing its total holdings to nearly 500,000 BTC.

This acquisition was funded through a $2 billion senior convertible note offering, underscoring MicroStrategy’s unwavering belief in Bitcoin’s long-term value.
