The crypto market is heating up. Bitcoin has climbed 1.35% to $92,112.79, while Ethereum is up 1.30% at $3,158.73. This bullish momentum comes amid big news from Cathie Wood, founder of ARK Invest. She predicts the US government will start Bitcoin to build its national strategic reserves.
Cathie Wood shared her bold view on the Bitcoin Brainstorm podcast. Right now, the Trump administration’s Bitcoin reserve relies only on seized coins from law enforcement. No open-market buys yet. But Wood says that will change.
The goal is 1 million Bitcoins. Wood believes pressure from midterm elections will keep Trump focused on crypto. Trump sees crypto as key to his legacy. He wants productive years ahead, not to be a lame-duck president. His family’s crypto ties and support from the crypto community in the election add fuel.
The admin has issued executive orders for a Bitcoin reserve and crypto asset inventory. They formed a task force on crypto and AI, led by David Sacks. This pushes bills like the GENIUS Act for stablecoins.
“He sees crypto as the pathway to the future.”
This move could supercharge Bitcoin’s price. Governments holding BTC signals it’s a top asset, like gold.
Coinbase is pushing hard on Congress. They want to keep offering rewards on stablecoins. A new crypto bill might limit this, sparking debate.
The Digital Asset Market Structure Bill heads to a Senate committee soon. If it adds strict rules beyond disclosure, Coinbase may pull support. Banks worry stablecoin yields pull deposits away. A fix? Limit rewards to regulated banks.
Coinbase applied for a national trust license to comply. But crypto firms want platform rewards without licenses. Five crypto companies got OCC nods for trust banks. A compromise might let trust-licensed firms offer yields. Strict rules could lead to workarounds.
MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor posted “₿ig Orange” on X. Fans expect purchase news soon, per past patterns. Saylor also ranked top decade assets: NVIDIA (digital intelligence), MicroStrategy (digital credit), and Bitcoin (digital capital).
