Industry veteran Michael Saylor has fueled speculation about a potential game-changing move: the United States could accumulate 1 million Bitcoin as part of its national reserve strategy. The prospect of such a massive institutional acquisition—representing roughly 5% of all Bitcoin supply—would represent an unprecedented legitimization of cryptocurrency at the sovereign state level. Such a policy shift would fundamentally reshape market dynamics, potentially triggering significant price appreciation and accelerating Bitcoin adoption among other institutional players. The scenario underscores growing recognition of Bitcoin's role as a potential store of value and strategic asset for nations seeking to diversify their reserves beyond traditional fiat currencies.

Is the US planning to stockpile millions of Bitcoins? Saylor, this guy really dares to say that.

Will the US really hoard 1 million Bitcoins? Saylor's imagination is quite something. --- Wait, if that's true, how many times could I multiply my coins? --- ngl if US actually does this, btc真的起飞了... Are Americans starting to play this game too? --- Sovereign-level recognition, this indeed changes the game... but just thinking about it is absurd. --- Five percentage points, it doesn't sound like much, but what does it mean? Is Saylor hyping or is there real inside info? --- So Bitcoin is really going to become a strategic asset for countries? Should I increase my holdings... --- Can this logic hold? Will the Federal Reserve really do such a thing? Feels a bit too optimistic. --- If it really becomes a reserve asset, institutions will follow suit and buy... the market will go crazy. --- Is btc finally going to turn things around and sing its song? We've waited so long for this moment. --- reserve strategy... Basically, it's about hedging against dollar depreciation, smart countries are thinking this way.

American hoarding 1 million Bitcoins? Dream on, bro. --- Saylor is dreaming again, and this time the dream is pretty big. --- If the US government really starts buying up BTC, then we’ll have to rewrite the textbooks. --- 5% of the supply? If that really happens, the whole market will go crazy. --- Instead of waiting for the US to act, why not get on board first? --- Sounds good, but even national-level FOMO is still FOMO, haha. --- Such news comes once a month, serving as a spiritual opium for retail investors. --- In my opinion, don’t celebrate too early; political uncertainties are too great. --- The day Bitcoin becomes a national asset will be the true endgame. --- Saylor is just relying on releasing this kind of information to harvest retail investors.
