Galaxy Digital’s Alex Thorn predicts the US may announce a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve by the end of 2025. President Trump has already signed an executive order for this, with lawmakers pushing for a feasibility report. Other countries like Kyrgyzstan and Indonesia are moving forward, potentially leaving the US behind.

Thorn believes the market is underestimating the likelihood of the US government officially holding Bitcoin as a strategic asset. Recent activity indicates movement towards this initiative, with lawmakers requesting the US Treasury to evaluate the feasibility of the reserve. Insiders maintain it’s a priority for the administration.

While some experts predict a 2025 launch for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, others like Dave Weisburger suggest it may happen in 2026. Concerns about delays potentially putting the US at a disadvantage have been raised by figures like Jan3 CEO Samson Mow. Global interest in sovereign Bitcoin reserves is growing, with other nations like Kyrgyzstan and Indonesia pursuing similar strategies.

As the US contemplates a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, corporate entities like Michael Saylor’s Strategy are already accumulating BTC. Saylor’s Strategy holds the largest amount, followed by MARA Holdings. New entrants like XXI and the Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company are also accumulating significant amounts. This wave of accumulation could contribute to a supply shock and drive prices higher.
