- Galaxy Digital’s Alex Thorn sees a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve announced this year, classifying BTC a strategic asset.
- Competing views push timelines to 2026; executive order framework exists, with Treasury feasibility report and ongoing administrative work.
Alex Thorn of Galaxy Digital suggests the United States could establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve within this year. He expressed this position on a social media platform. Thorn leads the research division at the firm.
He added that financial markets might not be considering this outcome. An official statement from the U.S. government about classifying Bitcoin as a strategic asset is his expectation. Other analysts hold a more reserved view on the timing. Dave Weisberger, formerly of CoinRoutes, indicated that an announcement is more likely to occur in 2026.
An executive order from President Trump created the framework for this reserve in March. The specific steps for its implementation have not been released. Legislators have introduced a bill that requires the Treasury to produce a feasibility report.
A representative for the administration confirmed continuing work on the initiative. This happened despite minimal coverage of the reserve in the latest policy report. Some Bitcoin advocates urge immediate action by the U.S. government. Samson Mow, founder of Jan3, stated that other countries could gain an advantage. He identified Pakistan as one nation that might act sooner.
This sentiment is echoed by recent international developments. Kyrgyzstan is currently advancing legislation for a national cryptocurrency reserve. In Indonesia, a advocacy group met with government leaders to discuss Bitcoin’s role in economic planning.
