Michael Saylor has shared an ambitious proposal to the US government to accumulate a large Bitcoin reserve that he believes could create up to $81 trillion in assets by 2045.

The famous Bitcoin (BTC) advocate and co-founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) shared this plan at the White House Crypto Summit.

Saylor's plan, presented as a design for economic dominance, calls for the nation to purchase from 5% to 25% of the Bitcoin network over the next decade through consistent and programmatic daily purchase transactions.

"I shared this at the White House Digital Assets Summit," Saylor confirmed.

Saylor's vision is based on the idea that Bitcoin will appreciate significantly over time due to its fixed supply and increasing global adoption.

According to his plan, the US government would begin accumulating Bitcoin starting in 2025 and continue through 2035, by which time 99% of the total Bitcoin supply will have been mined.

"Purchase 5-25% of the Bitcoin network to hold for the nation through consistent and programmatic daily purchases from 2025 to 2035, when 99% of the total BTC will have been issued," reads a section of the design.

Under this strategy, the US could acquire up to a quarter (25%) of the total supply, securing a dominant position in the global financial system. Saylor argues that this move would have a transformative economic impact.

Saylor estimates that the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve could generate from $16 trillion to $81 trillion in value for the US Treasury by 2045. Notably, this forecast depends on the scale of adoption and future price appreciation of Bitcoin.

This reserve would function as a long-term store of value for the nation, providing an alternative to traditional monetary assets and a strong hedge against inflation.

Furthermore, Saylor stated that this strategy would secure America's financial future, strengthen the US dollar, reduce national debt, and reinforce the country's position as a global economic leader.

Saylor Advises the US Government Not to Sell Its Bitcoin Holdings

One of the most notable aspects of Saylor's proposal is his assertion that the US should never sell the Bitcoin it holds. Instead, he envisions the SBR generating at least $10 trillion per year by 2045 through price appreciation and other financial mechanisms.

He believes this would create a self-sustaining economic incentive capable of addressing national debt issues. It would also position the US to fund technological advancements, critical infrastructure, and social programs without the need to raise taxes or excessive borrowing.

Beyond buying Bitcoin, Saylor's broader digital asset framework includes sweeping regulatory changes to position the US as the center of the digital currency wave.

He advocates for clear regulations that support and encourage innovation while ensuring market integrity.

"Hostile and unfair tax policies towards crypto Miners, holders, and exchanges that impede industry growth should be removed, along with arbitrary, capricious, and discriminatory regulations," Saylor added.

His plan categorizes digital assets into four types—digital tokens, digital securities, digital currencies, and digital commodities. Each, he points out, serves a specific function in the economy.

Notably, if the US government were to heed Saylor's proposal to acquire 25% of the Bitcoin supply, they would hold 5.25 million BTC. This figure would exceed the 1 million BTC (5% of the supply) that Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis proposed in the Bitcoin Bill introduced in August 2024.
