Michael Saylor has put forward a bold proposal for the United States to secure a dominant position in Bitcoin by selling off its gold reserves and using the proceeds to purchase 20% of the global BTC supply.
He argues that Bitcoin is not just a currency but a form of capital, much like gold has historically been, and believes the U.S. should act swiftly to establish financial superiority in the digital asset space.
According to Saylor, the U.S. government could swap its Treasury bonds for Bitcoin, ensuring that it holds a significant share of the network before other nations or institutions accumulate too much.
He likened such a move to transformative moments in history, such as the Louisiana Purchase or acquiring Alaska—suggesting that locking in a massive Bitcoin reserve now would provide unparalleled long-term benefits.
He also suggested that Bitcoin could serve as a viable alternative to U.S. Treasury bonds, positioning it as a superior store of value in an era of growing economic uncertainty.
Saylor even went as far as to propose that the U.S. government could print money to finance these Bitcoin purchases, accelerating its control over the world’s leading digital asset.
His vision extends beyond simple investment; he sees Bitcoin evolving into the “World Reserve Capital Network,” with the United States at the center of this global financial shift.
