An increasing number of countries are preparing to ramp up Bitcoin adoption, according to Jan3 founder Samson Mow. Mow believes that more countries will adopt a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, with the US still leading in total Bitcoin holdings. Galaxy Digital’s Alex Thorn predicts the US will form a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve by the end of this year.

Mow anticipates significant Bitcoin moves from the Latin American region and is bullish on their adoption. Fidelity Digital Assets stated in January that more nation-states and government treasuries will look to establish strategic positions in Bitcoin. Despite this, Bitcoin’s price hasn’t seen the massive run-up that many expected for 2025.

Bitcoin is currently trading at $109,400, and Mow believes this cycle may be delayed, possibly pushing into next year. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan also predicts a positive year for Bitcoin in 2026. The industry continues to debate whether Bitcoin’s usual four-year cycle is still relevant given the rise of ETFs and institutional demand.
