Michael Saylor Proposes $81 Trillion Bitcoin Reserve Plan for US Government
Michael Saylor has laid out an ambitious proposal to amass a massive Bitcoin reserve that could potentially bring the US government to $81 trillion by 2045.
The prominent Bitcoin advocate and co-founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) shared the detailed plan at the White House Crypto Summit.
Michael Saylor's Plan Details
Saylor's plan, presented as a strategy for the US to achieve global economic dominance, suggests the country should amass 5% to 25% of the Bitcoin network over the next decade through regular and systematic purchases.
"I presented this plan at the White House Digital Asset Summit," Saylor confirmed.
His vision is based on the assumption that Bitcoin's value will increase significantly in the future due to its limited supply and growing global adoption.
Under this plan, the US government would begin accumulating Bitcoin from 2025 and continue until 2035, when 99% of all Bitcoins would be mined.
The Potential of Bitcoin Accumulation
According to Saylor, if the US government were to acquire 5% to 25% of the Bitcoin network, this could bring global financial dominance to the US. He estimates that this strategy could create between $16 trillion and $81 trillion in assets for the US Treasury by 2045.
This Bitcoin reserve would act as a long-term store of value, an alternative to traditional monetary assets, and provide a strong hedge against inflation.
Additionally, Saylor argues that this would strengthen the US dollar, reduce the national debt, and ensure America’s economic leadership globally.
Don’t Sell Your Bitcoin Accumulation
A prominent point of Saylor’s proposal is that the US should not sell its Bitcoin holdings. Instead, he believes that the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) could generate at least $10 trillion per year by 2045 through appreciation and other financial mechanisms.
Saylor argues that maintaining this Bitcoin hoard could create a self-sustaining economic engine that would help solve the national debt problem and fund technology and infrastructure projects without raising taxes or borrowing too much.
Regulatory Changes and the Future of US Finance
Saylor also proposes sweeping changes in the area of digital asset regulation that would position the US at the center of the global digital currency wave.
He advocates for fairer tax policies for miners, exchanges, and cryptocurrency holders, while also pointing out that unreasonable and discriminatory regulations should be eliminated.
His plan divides digital assets into four main categories: digital tokens, digital securities, digital currencies, and digital commodities. Each of these assets plays an important role in the economy.
If implemented, the US could own 25% of the Bitcoin supply
If the US government were to implement Saylor’s strategy and acquire 25% of the total Bitcoin supply, this would equate to the US owning about 5.25 million BTC. This would be a significantly larger amount of Bitcoin than the 1 million BTC that Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis proposed in the Bitcoin Act introduced in August 2024.
