Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy’s Executive Chairman, champions a pivotal move for the U.S. to amass a significant Bitcoin reserve, potentially the greatest economic strategy of the 21st century. At a recent conference in Miami, Saylor paralleled the proposal to historic U.S. acquisitions like Manhattan and California, which generated vast returns. He argued that securing Bitcoin could similarly safeguard the nation’s economic future.

The momentum for this crypto-centric vision gained traction when Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced a bill aiming to expand the U.S. government’s Bitcoin holdings to one million tokens within five years. This proposal, aligning with Donald Trump’s commitment to maintain existing crypto assets, could redefine fiscal strategy if the Republicans secure congressional majorities next year.

Envisioning an even more ambitious future, Saylor outlined a “Trump Max” scenario where the U.S. could acquire four million bitcoins. Such a bold move, he suggests, might yield a staggering $81 trillion, positioning Bitcoin as a cornerstone of national wealth and security.
