MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor has proposed that the U.S. government secure 25% of the total Bitcoin supply over the next decade as part of the newly established Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
In Saylor’s proposal, “A Digital Assets Strategy to Dominate the 21st Century Global Economy”, the Bitcoin advocate outlined a plan for the U.S. government to amass 25% of the total Bitcoin supply by 2035. By that time, 99% of all Bitcoin will have been mined, making strategic accumulation a key factor in maintaining economic dominance.
Saylor presented his proposal to President Donald Trump, key government officials, and international cryptocurrency leaders at the White House Crypto Summit on March 7. During the event, he reaffirmed his “Never Sell Your Bitcoin” strategy, emphasizing the long-term value of holding the digital asset.
“By 2045, the reserve should be generating $10+ trillion annually, continuously growing, and serving as a perpetual source of prosperity for the American people for generations to come,” the proposal stated.
Additionally, Saylor noted that the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could create between $16 trillion and $81 trillion in wealth for the U.S. Treasury by 2045, presenting it as a potential solution for reducing the national debt.
Could the US Government Expand Bitcoin Supply with New Executive Order?
Earlier that day, President Trump issued an executive order to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile, using confiscated cryptocurrency from criminal cases as its initial funding source.
The U.S. government currently possesses an estimated 200,000 BTC valued at $16.92 billion, though no full audit has ever been performed. Under the executive order, a thorough review of federal digital asset holdings is now required to enhance transparency and accountability.
Although the executive order did not outline an immediate plan to buy more Bitcoin, it directed the Treasury and Commerce secretaries to devise “budget-neutral strategies” to expand holdings without burdening taxpayers.
Saylor’s proposal emphasized that by adopting digital assets and encouraging innovation, the United States could strengthen its position as the dominant force in the global economy of the 21st century.
“The time to act is now,” it read. “Policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders must collaborate to establish a regulatory framework that enables responsible growth while ensuring market integrity. A strong, forward-thinking strategy will unlock trillions in economic value, strengthen national security, and position the U.S. as the undisputed leader in the digital age.”
