Max nails it. A real Bitcoin nation runs on rules, not slogans. Here is the U.S. blueprint to lead: 1. Bitcoin Office: stand up a White House–Treasury “Office of Bitcoin & Digital Energy.” Single mandate: protect self-custody, green-light mining as critical infrastructure, and integrate USD↔BTC rails for payments, settlements, and securities. 2. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: consolidate seized coins into a public, on-chain reserve; target 1–5% of reserves via rule-based DCA funded from surpluses and energy royalties; no rehypothecation; multi-sig held by independent custodians with quarterly attestations. 3. Bitcoin Bank Law: 100%-reserve custody with bankruptcy-remote segregation; repeal SAB-121 and permit insured banks to custody under clear capital rules; tax neutrality on self-custody swaps; safe harbor for running open-source nodes and lightning. Add the bonus kicker… mining that soaks up flared and stranded energy, federal procurement that prefers bitcoin-settled escrows, and a statutory right to hold your own keys. El Salvador proved the model. America can scale it. Day-1 EO for the office, a reserve bill for Congress, a custody bill for banks, and published addresses for transparency. Do this and capital floods in. Delay and the future prices in somewhere else.
