Michael Saylor says this is a strategy to help the US unlock tens of trillions of USD in economic value and eliminate public debt.
Michael Saylor calls on the US government to buy 25% of the Bitcoin supply
The billionaire's proposal
Michael Saylor, the founder of Strategy, proposes that the US government buy up to 25% of the total Bitcoin supply by 2035 to strengthen the strategic reserve.

Saylor presented the plan to President Donald Trump, government officials, and crypto industry leaders at the White House Crypto Summit on 07/03.
The billionaire proposes that the US should buy Bitcoin regularly from 2025 to 2035, when 99% of Bitcoin has been issued. He suggests that the US government should pursue a "never sell Bitcoin" policy.
At the event, Saylor argued that the US could unlock up to 100 trillion USD in economic value over the next decade if:
It establishes a clear legal framework for crypto.
It removes barriers to innovation in the industry.
It strategically buys Bitcoin as a national reserve asset.
Saylor classifies digital assets into 4 main groups:
Digital Tokens: To raise Capital and drive innovation.
Digital Securities: To increase market efficiency.
Digital Currencies: For commerce, helping the USD maintain global dominance.
Digital Commodities (like Bitcoin): For store of value and asset protection.
According to Michael Saylor, this classification framework will minimize legal uncertainty and help crypto integrate seamlessly into the traditional financial system. He also calls for an end to unfair tax policies on crypto and for allowing major US banks to provide custody, trading, and lending services related to Bitcoin. Specifically, the refusal to provide banking services to the crypto industry should not be tolerated.
Within the conference framework, Saylor also emphasized transparency and accountability in the crypto industry, and proposed measures to prevent fraud and conflicts of interest.
On the same day, as reported by Coin68, Mr. Trump signed an executive order establishing the "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Fund". Initially, the fund will receive all crypto assets currently managed by US authorities, confiscated from criminal activities and past criminal proceedings.
Although the order does not propose an immediate plan to buy more Bitcoin, Mr. Trump has instructed the Department of the Treasury and the Department of Commerce to develop a strategy to buy more Bitcoin without increasing the tax burden on taxpayers.
Is Bitcoin a long-term solution for the US economy?
According to preliminary statistics, the US government currently holds 198,109 BTC, equivalent to 16.7 billion USD at the time of writing. Most of the Bitcoin was seized from cybercriminals and confiscated assets, but has never been fully audited. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the US government also does not know exactly how much Bitcoin it holds!

If the US actually buys 25% of the Bitcoin supply, it will own 5.25 million BTC - much higher than the proposal of Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis, who previously proposed that the US buy 1 million BTC (5% of the total supply) in the Bitcoin Act bill in 07/2024.
Saylor believes that if the US government implements this plan, by 2045 the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could generate between 16 and 81 trillion USD, contributing to the reduction of the national public debt.
He predicts that Bitcoin will bring a vision of sustainable prosperity to the United States, helping the country maintain its dominant position in the 21st century global economy. This is also the reason why the billionaire named his proposal "A Digital Asset Strategy to Dominate the 21st Century Global Economy".
While the US government is still considering, Michael Saylor has not stopped his Bitcoin ambitions. Most recently, on 24/02, Saylor's company Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) bought nearly 2 billion USD in BTC, bringing its total holdings to nearly 500,000 Bitcoin, approximately 41.2 billion USD. The transaction was carried out after the company raised 2 billion USD through convertible senior notes to buy more Bitcoin.
