U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated that if elected, he will push the federal government to purchase $615 billion worth of Bitcoin until the size of the U.S. Bitcoin holdings matches the national gold reserves. Kennedy said in an interview, "Bitcoin is an honest currency, it is a currency based on proof-of-work. Everything is on the ledger, it is decentralized, and that is what we need to do for democracy. I hope the federal government will start buying Bitcoin and ultimately own an amount of Bitcoin equivalent to gold by the end of my term." It is reported that the U.S. government is the world's largest gold holder, with 8,134 tons of gold. At the current price, the gold is worth $615 billion, requiring 9.4 million BTC to match this value, which is nearly 45% of the total supply.

According to a report by the asset management company VanEck, by 2050, Bitcoin may account for 10% of international trade and 5% of local trade, and become a central bank reserve asset. The company stated that the Bitcoin second-layer network will play a key role, overcoming scalability issues and allowing BTC to be used as a medium of exchange. However, the report also pointed out that there are certain risks to the growth of Bitcoin, including the continuously rising energy demand, joint crackdown by governments, and competition with other digital assets.
