MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor has proposed a new digital assets framework for the United States. Saylor’s plan suggests that by creating a Bitcoin reserve, the U.S. Treasury could potentially generate up to $81 trillion in wealth.
A Strategic Bitcoin Reserve for the U.S. Economy
In a December 21 post on X (formerly Twitter), Saylor stated:
“A strategic digital asset policy can strengthen the US dollar, neutralize the national debt, and position America as the global leader in the 21st-century digital economy.”
Saylor proposes that establishing a Bitcoin reserve could generate between $16 trillion and $81 trillion in wealth, potentially contributing to easing the national debt.
MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Portfolio and Previous Endeavors
MicroStrategy currently holds 439,000 BTC, with a total value exceeding $41 billion. This investment has significantly boosted the company’s stock price this year. Previously, Saylor proposed that Microsoft acquire Bitcoin, but the idea was rejected by its shareholders.
Debates and Criticisms
Saylor’s proposal has faced harsh criticism from some quarters. Renowned Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff dismissed the plan as “complete bullshit,” stating:
“The proposal would do the opposite. It would weaken the dollar, exacerbate the national debt, and make America a laughing stock.”
Michael Saylor’s digital asset framework offers a comprehensive roadmap for the U.S. to take the lead in the digital economy. However, the feasibility and practicality of his proposals remain contentious. A staunch believer in Bitcoin, Saylor envisions both an economic and technological revolution through this new framework.
