What an unlimited day it has been as we speak.
Gary Gensler formally introduced that he’s stepping down from his place as Chairman of the Securities and Alternate Fee (SEC), and minutes later, Reuters reported that Donald Trump’s “crypto council” is predicted to “set up Trump’s promised bitcoin reserve.” A bitcoin reserve, that may see the USA buy 200,000 bitcoin per 12 months, for 5 years till it has purchased 1,000,000 bitcoin.
Proper after each of these, Bitcoin continued its upward momentum and broke $99,000, with $100,000 feeling like it could actually occur at any second now.
It’s laborious to include my bullishness serious about the USA buying 200,000 BTC per 12 months. They basically must compete with everybody else on the planet who can be accumulating bitcoin and making an attempt to entrance run them. There are solely 21 million bitcoin and that may be a LOT of demand.
To place this into context, to date this 12 months the US spot bitcoin ETFs have amassed a mixed complete of over 1 million BTC. On the time of launch the value was ~$44,000 and now bitcoin is virtually at $100,000. And that’s all ETFs mixed. Think about what’s going to occur when only one entity needs to purchase a complete of 1 million cash, having to compete with everybody else accumulating massive quantities as properly?
I imply MicroStrategy actually simply accomplished one other $3 BILLION elevate to purchase extra bitcoin, and can proceed elevating till it purchases $42 billion extra in bitcoin. The USA are almost definitely going to be buying their cash (if this laws is formally signed into regulation) at very excessive costs. The demand is insane and solely rising within the foreseeable future.
With two months left to go till Trump formally takes workplace, it stays to be seen if this invoice turns into regulation, however in the mean time issues are trying actually good. As Senator Cynthia Lummis said, “That is our Louisiana Buy second!” and could be a fully historic second for Bitcoin, Bitcoiners, and the long run monetary dominance of the USA of America.
That is the answer. That is the reply. That is our Louisiana Buy second!#Bitcoin2024 pic.twitter.com/RNEiLaB16U
