Will the U.S. revalue its gold and use it to buy Bitcoin?
The U.S. government reportedly holds 261.5 million ounces of gold. If that gold were revalued to current market prices, it would unlock roughly $866 billion in additional purchasing power. That’s a massive war chest, and a lot of potential sats.
In a digitally driven economy, do digital reserves make more sense than physical ones? Bitcoin offers portability, auditability, and resistance to debasement; features that align with the needs of a technologically advanced world.
If even a fraction of that budget neutral surplus were allocated toward Bitcoin, could it trigger the long theorized supercycle? Game theory suggests yes, but history also teaches us that standstills and slow moves are part of the process.
Let’s not forget: Bitcoin was born just 16 years ago. Today, it’s already considered a credible threat to gold’s status as a reserve asset.
Ironically, the bureaucracy might be doing Bitcoiners a favor. By dragging their feet, they’re giving us more time to accumulate at lower prices.
Every day this transition doesn’t happen is a gift.
