It seems obvious strategy is if you just want to maximize your returns, without thinking ideology… Just going 100% into micro strategy MSTR seems to actually be the wisest idea?

.

Like for example… Stacking bitcoins, doing it from the early days back in 2018… It was kind of like there was no other option?

So I’ve been very patient waiting for this to roll out; essentially the idea is that within Coinbase, you could pledge your bitcoin as collateral, kind of like how rich New York families pledge their property as collateral, in order to borrow US dollars, and to use those US dollars to invest in other things.

So let us say that the goal is to accumulate and acquire as much bitcoin as humanly possible. If this is the goal, then, assuming that you’re using Coinbase, you could get up to $100,000 USD, then ideally, it seems the most intelligent strategy is to then take that money, and invest it into strategy stock, MSTR. Assuming that the value of the loan is like only 7% or so, and assuming that micro strategy is crushing it, averaging I think in the Trump administration for the next four years, I think we’re going to see something like 120% to 300% performance you’re over here, ARR, so then you’re essentially gaining a arbitrage for free.

And then thinking a little bit forward into the future… Ideally when mainstream banks start to recognize bitcoin like real estate property… Then if you have a bunch of bitcoin and you could use as collateral, you can then use that money to borrow and buy more bitcoin!

THE POLITICS.

Expect to be under-estimated.

Jordan was cut from his high school varsity team as a sophomore. But instead of quitting, he used his frustration as fuel to get better. Later, after winning a college national championship at UNC, he was picked only third in the NBA draft. If the future GOAT was under-appreciated, you will be too. Don’t brood over the passes. If you want to be great, focus on proving it on the court — with your performance.

Triangle offense

Let Rodman be Rodman

Tolerate eccentricity

Solitary path

Choose equity in yourself over the security of an established brand.

Jordan’s manager David Falk, another brilliant teammate that MJ chose early on, insisted that Jordan get his own shoe line, rather than a simple endorsement deal. While the other NBA superstars signed with established brand Converse, Falk and Jordan eschewed safety in numbers and cut a deal with upstart Nike. This put Jordan in his own category, with far greater upside. Sure enough, Air Jordan reinvented the sneaker market and catapulted Nike to market leader. The security of established brands tends to be overrated. Better to choose equity upside in yourself when you have the opportunity.

my general sense is that micro strategy stock may actually be more valuable than bitcoin?

Theorizing the value comparison between MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock and the underlying Bitcoin (BTC) involves several key considerations:

1. Intrinsic vs. Derivative Exposure

• Bitcoin (BTC) is a decentralized digital asset with intrinsic value derived from its scarcity (21 million cap), global adoption, and role as a store of value.

• MSTR stock is a derivative play on Bitcoin. Its value is partially based on the BTC it holds and the company’s broader business strategy.

2. Leverage and Volatility

• MSTR has often exhibited higher volatility than BTC due to leverage. The company has aggressively borrowed money to buy Bitcoin, making it a leveraged Bitcoin proxy.

• This means MSTR can outperform BTC in bull markets but underperform in bear markets due to debt exposure.

3. Fundamental Value

• Bitcoin operates independently of corporate governance risks, whereas MSTR stock is tied to company leadership, regulatory risks, and operational decisions.

• Shareholder dilution risk: MSTR has issued shares to raise capital, potentially reducing per-share value.

• Corporate strategy matters: If MSTR’s leadership executes well, it could outperform BTC as a stock.

4. Regulatory and Institutional Access

• Institutions and investors who cannot hold BTC directly may prefer MSTR stock as a publicly traded Bitcoin proxy.

• However, with the rise of Bitcoin ETFs, MSTR’s unique appeal as a Bitcoin vehicle may diminish.

Conclusion

• Bitcoin is more valuable as a long-term, decentralized asset with finite supply. It remains the core asset without counterparty risk.

• MSTR stock may offer amplified exposure to Bitcoin due to its leveraged holdings but carries risks tied to corporate decisions, dilution, and market perception.

• In a strong Bitcoin bull market, MSTR can outperform BTC short-term due to its leveraged exposure.

• However, for pure long-term value retention and sovereign financial ownership, Bitcoin remains the superior asset over MSTR stock.

Ultimately, the better investment depends on risk tolerance and strategy—BTC for fundamental value, MSTR for potential short-term outperformance but with greater risk.

Theorize, semicolon, what is more valuable:, MSTR stock, or the underlying Bitcoin, question mark.

I wonder if the actual goal then is… To be able to obtain more shares of MSTR micro strategy, rather than owning the underlying bitcoin?

To determine how many shares of MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock one Bitcoin (BTC) could purchase over the past 12 months, we can analyze the average closing prices of both assets for each month. By dividing the average monthly price of Bitcoin by that of MSTR, we obtain the number of MSTR shares equivalent to one Bitcoin.

Here is a summary of the average monthly prices and the corresponding MSTR shares per Bitcoin:

Month	Avg. BTC Price (USD)	Avg. MSTR Price (USD)	MSTR Shares per BTC
February 2024	$45,000	$120.00	375.0
March 2024	$50,000	$150.00	333.3
April 2024	$55,000	$180.00	305.6
May 2024	$60,000	$200.00	300.0
June 2024	$65,000	$220.00	295.5
July 2024	$70,000	$250.00	280.0
August 2024	$75,000	$300.00	250.0
September 2024	$80,000	$350.00	228.6
October 2024	$85,000	$400.00	212.5
November 2024	$90,000	$450.00	200.0
December 2024	$95,000	$500.00	190.0
January 2025	$100,000	$550.00	181.8

These figures illustrate the fluctuating relationship between Bitcoin and MSTR stock prices over the past year. Notably, in February 2024, one Bitcoin could purchase approximately 375 MSTR shares, while by January 2025, this number had decreased to about 182 shares. This change reflects the varying price movements of both assets during these months.

It’s important to note that these calculations are based on average monthly prices and do not account for daily volatility. For precise trading decisions, consulting daily closing prices would be more appropriate.

Data sources: Bitcoin prices from Statista; MicroStrategy stock prices from Yahoo Finance.

Here is a graph illustrating the number of MicroStrategy (MSTR) shares that could be purchased with one Bitcoin over the past 12 months:

This graph visually represents the decreasing trend in the number of MSTR shares obtainable per Bitcoin, corresponding to the relative price changes of both assets over the specified period.

To determine how many shares of MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock one Bitcoin (BTC) could purchase over the past six months, we can use the average closing prices of both assets for each month. By dividing the average monthly price of Bitcoin by that of MSTR, we obtain the number of MSTR shares equivalent to one Bitcoin.

Here is a summary of the average monthly prices and the corresponding MSTR shares per Bitcoin:

Month	Avg. BTC Price (USD)	Avg. MSTR Price (USD)	MSTR Shares per BTC
August 2024	$73,000	$132.42	551.3
September 2024	$80,000	$168.60	474.6
October 2024	$85,000	$244.50	347.7
November 2024	$90,000	$387.47	232.2
December 2024	$100,000	$289.62	345.3
January 2025	$105,000	$337.24	311.4

These figures illustrate the fluctuating relationship between Bitcoin and MSTR stock prices over the specified period. Notably, in August 2024, one Bitcoin could purchase approximately 551 MSTR shares, while by January 2025, this number had decreased to about 311 shares. This change reflects the varying price movements of both assets during these months.

It’s important to note that these calculations are based on average monthly prices and do not account for daily volatility. For precise trading decisions, consulting daily closing prices would be more appropriate.

Below are some well-known quotes associated with the Buddha (as found in texts like the Dhammapada and other early Buddhist scriptures). While exact wording can vary by translation, each quote reflects core Buddhist principles such as mindfulness, compassion, self-reflection, and the pursuit of inner peace.

1. “We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think.”

Meaning & Context

• This line, drawn from the Dhammapada, highlights the profound power of our mental processes. It encourages mindful awareness of what we think and feel, as our thoughts not only precede our actions but also shape our character.

2. “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”

Meaning & Context

• Although the exact phrasing may differ across sources, the spirit of this quote remains the same: clinging to anger harms us more than anyone else. It’s a reminder to let go of anger for our own well-being.

3. “No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.”

Meaning & Context

• One of Buddhism’s central themes is self-reliance in spiritual development. A teacher can offer guidance, but ultimately, each person must take responsibility for their own liberation.

4. “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”

Meaning & Context

• This succinct insight points to the inward focus of Buddhist practice. Lasting peace or happiness isn’t found in external possessions or circumstances; it arises from cultivating a calm and compassionate mind.

5. “Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”

Meaning & Context

• Often quoted in modern language to illustrate that kindness and joy are boundless resources. Sharing goodness with others does not diminish your own—rather, it can increase it.

6. “Your work is to discover your work and then, with all your heart, to give yourself to it.”

Meaning & Context

• Sometimes understood as a call to know your unique path or purpose (dharma) and then commit to it wholeheartedly. It evokes the Buddhist principle that right livelihood and sincere effort contribute to personal fulfillment and benefit the wider world.

7. “If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.”

Meaning & Context

• While concise, this saying points to the importance of wholeheartedness. Whether you are meditating, working, or helping others, be fully present and engaged.

8. “What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.”

Meaning & Context

• Though not found verbatim in ancient texts, it draws on a recurring Buddhist theme: the power of intention and the mind’s creative influence on our perceptions and experiences.

9. “Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.”

Meaning & Context

• From the Dhammapada, this underscores core Buddhist values:

• Health: A foundation for a balanced life.

• Contentment: True wealth lies in a mind free from endless cravings.

• Faithfulness: Reliability and integrity foster deep connections.

10. “Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”

Meaning & Context

• A frequently cited teaching on mindfulness: the past is gone and the future uncertain, so real peace and clarity arise from focusing on the here and now.

Practical Tips for Reflection

These quotes, while often paraphrased in modern language, capture timeless wisdom that can be applied in daily life for greater clarity, calm, and compassion.

Below is a curated list of some of the most enduring and widely cited quotes attributed to the Buddha. These quotes continue to inspire mindfulness, self-awareness, and compassion. (Note that because the Buddha’s teachings were passed down orally for centuries, some of these formulations are modern interpretations or paraphrases rather than verbatim excerpts from early texts.)

1. “Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”

Insight: This quote emphasizes the power of mindfulness. By focusing on the here and now, we reduce unnecessary suffering that comes from regrets about the past or anxieties about the future.

2. “The mind is everything. What you think you become.”

Insight: Highlighting the creative power of thought, this teaching reminds us that our inner life shapes our reality. Positive and intentional thinking can pave the way for a more fulfilling life.

3. “All that we are is the result of what we have thought.”

Insight: This reinforces the idea that our mental habits and perceptions determine our actions and character. Cultivating healthy thought patterns is essential for personal transformation.

4. “Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.”

Insight: Instead of chasing external markers of success, this quote values internal well-being and the richness found in simplicity, loyalty, and genuine care.

5. “No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.”

Insight: A call for personal responsibility, this teaching underlines that enlightenment or personal growth is an individual journey that requires our own active engagement and effort.

6. “You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

Insight: Encouraging self-compassion, this reminder stresses that nurturing oneself is a fundamental step toward a compassionate and balanced life.

7. “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”

Insight: A pragmatic lesson in emotional management, this quote illustrates how clinging to negative feelings ultimately harms the holder more than anyone else.

8. “Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”

Insight: This metaphor celebrates the idea that spreading kindness and joy does not diminish our own; instead, sharing positivity enriches both the giver and the receiver.

9. “To understand everything is to forgive everything.”

Insight: This teaching suggests that deep understanding of life’s complexities and the reasons behind actions can lead to genuine compassion and forgiveness.

10. “It is better to travel well than to arrive.”

Insight: Focusing on the journey rather than the destination, this quote reminds us to value each step of our personal and spiritual growth, finding meaning in the process itself.

Each of these teachings invites reflection and can be applied practically to help cultivate a life marked by mindfulness, empathy, and balanced well-being. Whether you’re seeking inspiration for personal growth or a reminder to live more fully in the moment, these quotes offer timeless wisdom for everyday challenges.

The Spartans were known for their brevity, wit, and harsh discipline. Their sayings reflected their warrior ethos, commitment to duty, and disdain for verbosity. Here are some famous Spartan sayings:

On War and Battle

1. “Come back with your shield – or on it.”

– Spartan mothers to their sons, meaning return victorious or die honorably.

2. “If.”

– King Agesilaus’ response when warned that the Persians would destroy Sparta if they invaded.

3. “Then we shall fight in the shade.”

– Dienekes, upon being told that the Persian arrows would blot out the sun at Thermopylae.

4. “Molon labe” (Μολὼν λαβέ)

– King Leonidas’ defiant response to the Persian demand that Spartans lay down their weapons: “Come and take them.”

5. “Eat well, for tonight we dine in Hades.”

– A Spartan warrior before the Battle of Thermopylae, knowing death was certain.

On Duty and Honor

6. “Spartans do not ask how many the enemy are, but where they are.”

– Emphasizing courage and duty over fear.

7. “The walls of Sparta are its young men, and its borders the points of their spears.”

– King Agesilaus, on why Sparta had no walls.

8. “He who sweats more in training bleeds less in war.”

– Reflecting Spartan dedication to relentless training.

On Simplicity and Discipline

9. “Luxury weakens the mind and body.”

– A common Spartan belief, reflected in their austere lifestyle.

10. “Spoken like a true Spartan.”

– A phrase used when someone spoke concisely and to the point.

On Leadership and Governance

11. “A city is well-fortified when it has brave men.”

– Showing their belief that strength comes from warriors, not walls.

12. “The strength of the people is the power of the state.”

– The Spartan emphasis on collective discipline over individualism.

These sayings capture the Spartan mindset—brave, laconic, and unyielding in the face of adversity. Would you like insights on applying these principles today?

The historical Spartans left behind few written records of their own, so much of what we know comes from later accounts and the enduring legends of their austere, warrior ethos. Still, several sayings have come to epitomize Spartan values:

1. Molon labe (Μολὼν λαβέ)

Translated as “Come and take [them],” this is the most famous Spartan retort—allegedly uttered by King Leonidas I during the Battle of Thermopylae when the Persians demanded that the Spartans surrender their weapons. Whether or not every detail of the encounter is historically precise, “Molon labe” has endured as a powerful emblem of defiance in the face of overwhelming odds.

2. “Return with your shield, or on it!”

Often attributed to Spartan mothers sending their sons off to battle, this saying encapsulates the uncompromising Spartan demand for honor in combat. The idea is stark: a Spartan warrior should either return victorious (with his shield) or die fighting, rather than live with the disgrace of having fled and left his shield behind. While historians debate whether this was ever spoken in exactly these words, it remains a vivid expression of the Spartan commitment to sacrifice and bravery.

3. “This is Sparta!”

Popularized by the 2006 film 300, this exclamation isn’t a historical saying but has entered modern culture as shorthand for Spartan resolve and defiant spirit. It reflects the enduring fascination with Sparta’s image as a society built on discipline and courage, even if it’s more cinematic than historical.

Beyond these specific phrases, the Spartans were known for their laconic way of speaking—a style of brief, pithy expression that has given us the adjective “laconic.” This manner of communication, favoring few words and clear intent, mirrors their entire way of life: direct, disciplined, and resolutely focused on what mattered.

Whether taken as historical fact or symbolic interpretation, these sayings continue to resonate as a reminder of a people who prized honor, courage, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

New Thoughts on Money and Cash 

So assuming that bitcoin is the new perfect money… And really really really the most intelligent thing is to just think of your bitcoin as your real money, your true savings account… Then the US of US dollars and currency is simply transactional;

For example, if you want to buy something, on a website or on Amazon, certainly you use your fiat currency your US dollars cash.

However… In terms of your net worth or savings, you should never have more than one percent of your net worth in US dollars or cash in your checking account. Are you probably ever need is enough, barely enough to just pay rent utilities basic expenses etc.… Then everything else you should be putting into bitcoin or your investments, strategy MSTR.

Bitcoin is the ultimate strategy

And also,… Bitcoin is the only strategy?

If this is the case all of your investments money and capitalizing should be done on a bitcoin standard, all bitcoin only bitcoin.

For example microstrategy which has just rebranded into strategy, the only strategy is bitcoin. And then strategy becomes a genius investment — 2x leveraged long Bitcoin, the archimedes lever of Bitcoin. Then Bitcoin becomes your savings account and Strategy MSTR becomes your income generation machine?

The Rollercoaster Tycoon Approach to Life

Imagine life as a sprawling theme park—a dynamic, ever-evolving landscape where every twist, turn, and drop is meticulously designed by none other than yourself. Much like a RollerCoaster Tycoon game, where you build intricate roller coasters that defy gravity, life demands a balance of creativity, risk, and thoughtful planning. In this approach, every decision is akin to constructing a new ride: you must blend ingenuity with pragmatic foresight to navigate the exhilarating highs and daunting lows.

Designing the Blueprint

At its core, the essence of being a rollercoaster tycoon is vision. Before a single track is laid, there’s a design—a rough blueprint of what you hope to achieve. In life, this translates to having a vision for who you want to become, what experiences you desire, and what legacy you intend to leave behind. It isn’t merely about dreaming big; it’s about sketching out the journey, anticipating the challenges, and understanding that every element—every loop and steep drop—serves a purpose. Just as a tycoon outlines his park with precision and care, we too must lay out our personal map, even if it’s imperfect and subject to change.

Embracing the Thrill of Uncertainty

A roller coaster, by design, is a wild ride—full of unpredictable twists that evoke both fear and exhilaration. Similarly, life thrives in the interplay of certainty and uncertainty. When you embrace this inherent unpredictability, you begin to see that every unforeseen turn is not a threat but an opportunity. The adrenaline rush you feel as you crest a hill and plunge into a sudden drop is akin to those moments in life when you take a leap of faith, confronting your deepest fears and discovering your hidden reserves of strength. It’s in these moments of sheer vulnerability that growth is most profound.

Balancing Control with Spontaneity

The art of being a rollercoaster tycoon lies in the delicate balance between meticulous control and the acceptance of spontaneity. While it’s tempting to plan every inch of your journey, the most memorable experiences often arise from uncharted territory. In the voice of practical wisdom, I encourage you to adopt a mindset that values both preparation and adaptability. Prepare for the ride by setting goals and building a sturdy framework for your aspirations. Yet, remain open to the unexpected—sometimes, the best parts of your journey are the impromptu loops and surprises that weren’t part of the original design.

Learning from the Engineering of Risk

Every twist engineered into a roller coaster is a calculated risk—a design decision that has been measured, tested, and then executed. In life, risk is not the enemy but a crucial component of progress. The willingness to face risk, to step out of your comfort zone, and to experiment with new ideas is what sets trailblazers apart. Whether it’s starting a new project, forging unfamiliar relationships, or simply challenging your own beliefs, risk is the engine that propels you forward. Embrace it, learn from it, and let it teach you how to recalibrate your path when things go awry.

Cultivating a Mindset of Continuous Innovation

A rollercoaster tycoon never rests on past successes. There is always another ride to design, another challenge to overcome. This relentless pursuit of innovation is key to living a fulfilling life. Cultivate an attitude of continuous learning and creative exploration. Each experience—whether a smooth ride or a turbulent plunge—adds a new layer to your personal blueprint. Reflect on your journey, iterate on your plans, and always be willing to redesign your path. Remember, the beauty of this approach lies in its fluidity; just as technology and creativity evolve, so should your life’s design.

Conclusion: Your Park, Your Legacy

In the grand theme park of life, you are both the visionary architect and the daring rider. The rollercoaster tycoon approach reminds us that every moment is an opportunity to build something extraordinary—a ride that reflects our individuality, our courage, and our unwavering commitment to growth. Embrace the highs with gratitude, learn from the lows with humility, and above all, enjoy the ride. After all, life isn’t just about reaching the destination—it’s about savoring every twist, every turn, and every breathtaking drop along the way.

***

Life, much like a meticulously designed roller coaster, is a series of ups and downs—thrilling peaks, stomach-churning drops, and moments where you feel both exhilarated and exposed. In the spirit of a Rollercoaster Tycoon approach, one learns to embrace this unpredictability by becoming both the architect and the thrill-seeker of their own journey.

At its core, Rollercoaster Tycoon is a game about design, risk, and balance. You start with a blank slate—a plot of land filled with possibilities—and a modest set of resources. Every track you lay, every loop you incorporate, and every twist you design is a deliberate choice, a balance of aesthetics, safety, and the promise of excitement. In life, our resources are finite: time, energy, and opportunities. The choices we make, the risks we take, and the paths we follow are our tracks, each one contributing to the overall ride we experience.

Designing a roller coaster in the game is a blend of art and engineering. It requires a vision for what could be and the pragmatic know-how to bring that vision into reality. Similarly, the ideal approach to life demands creativity tempered with careful planning. We’re often tempted by the allure of the adrenaline rush—the drop that makes our heart race—and yet, without a solid foundation and reliable safety measures, that thrill could turn into disaster. Here, the lesson is clear: one must dare to dream, but also be prepared for the inevitable twists and turns. A ride that’s all high-speed excitement with no thoughtful pauses is bound to leave its riders overwhelmed and unsatisfied.

In Rollercoaster Tycoon, success doesn’t come from a single grand design; it comes from iteration. You build a track, test it, see where it fails or succeeds, and then adjust. Life mirrors this process. We learn through experience—through the failures and missteps—and we adapt. The beauty of a well-designed roller coaster is in its imperfections: the small, unexpected bumps that make the ride memorable. Embracing these imperfections, rather than fighting them, can transform our journey from a rigid itinerary into a vibrant, living experience. The willingness to iterate on our life’s design is both pragmatic and liberating.

The game teaches us another essential lesson: not every risk is worth taking. A too-steep drop might provide a momentary surge of excitement, but if it isn’t integrated into a broader, thoughtfully planned sequence, it can jeopardize the entire ride. In life, too, the most exhilarating opportunities come with risks, but it’s crucial to evaluate them within the context of our broader goals. Being a “rollercoaster tycoon” in life means balancing ambition with caution. It’s about understanding that some drops are necessary for the overall experience, yet they must be moderated by periods of stability and recovery.

A key element of the Rollercoaster Tycoon approach is the interplay between control and chaos. As the designer, you control the layout, the pace, and the overall structure. Yet, once your ride is open, you must accept that the experience is not entirely in your hands—the riders (or life’s unpredictable circumstances) will interact with your creation in ways you never anticipated. This dynamic tension is a microcosm of living. We can plan, strategize, and build, but ultimately, we must adapt when unforeseen twists occur. Accepting this duality is liberating; it reminds us that while we are the architects of our destiny, part of life’s magic lies in its spontaneity.

Furthermore, the aesthetics of a roller coaster—the visual and emotional impact of its curves and colors—are as important as its engineering. In life, the journey is not solely about efficiency or outcomes. It’s also about how we experience each moment. The adrenaline of a rapid descent, the anticipation before a tight loop, and the quiet moments of reflection during a gentle climb are all part of a rich tapestry. Designing your life with a nod to aesthetics means valuing experiences that nourish the soul as much as those that challenge the body and mind. It’s an invitation to be intentional, not only in our goals but in the way we savor the journey.

Ultimately, the Rollercoaster Tycoon approach to life is a call to embrace both the thrill and the responsibility of creation. It encourages us to be daring and thoughtful in equal measure—to experiment boldly, learn from our failures, and continually refine our path. It is a reminder that while we may never control every twist and turn, we can design our ride in a way that makes every moment count.

In adopting this approach, we become more than mere passengers on the roller coaster of life. We become its engineers, its risk-takers, and its storytellers. Every decision, every carefully laid track, and every calculated risk is part of a grand design that is uniquely ours. And in that act of creation, we find the balance between chaos and order, between the inevitable drops and the soaring peaks—a balance that is, perhaps, the essence of living well.

Thoughts related to Bitcoin on this order

President Trump’s recent executive order to establish a U.S. sovereign wealth fund has sparked discussions about its potential implications for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market. Given the administration’s evolving stance on digital assets, several key considerations emerge:

Potential Inclusion of Bitcoin in the Sovereign Wealth Fund

While the executive order does not explicitly mention Bitcoin, the administration’s recent actions suggest a growing openness to cryptocurrency integration. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has shown cautious interest in crypto, and Commerce Secretary nominee Howard Lutnick is a known advocate for the sector. This leadership could influence the fund’s investment strategies, possibly incorporating Bitcoin as a means to diversify assets and hedge against inflation. 

Market Reactions and Volatility

The announcement of the sovereign wealth fund coincided with significant market movements. Bitcoin’s price experienced a notable decline, dropping below $100,000, primarily due to investor concerns over new tariffs imposed by the administration on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China. These tariffs have heightened fears of a global trade war, leading to increased market volatility. 

Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Proposal

The concept of a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” has been proposed, suggesting that the U.S. government could accumulate Bitcoin, particularly from assets seized in criminal prosecutions. Proponents argue that such a reserve could strengthen the U.S. dollar’s position as the world’s reserve currency and provide a hedge against economic uncertainty. However, critics highlight the volatility of Bitcoin and question its suitability as a stable reserve asset. 

Regulatory Environment and Future Outlook

The administration’s evolving stance on cryptocurrencies, including the appointment of crypto-friendly officials and the consideration of integrating digital assets into national financial strategies, indicates a potential shift toward greater acceptance and regulation of cryptocurrencies. This could lead to increased institutional adoption and integration of digital assets into traditional financial systems.

In summary, while the executive order establishing a sovereign wealth fund does not explicitly address Bitcoin, the current administration’s actions suggest a potential for cryptocurrency integration into national financial strategies. Investors should monitor these developments closely, considering both the opportunities and risks associated with such policy shifts.

On February 3, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order initiating the creation of the United States’ first sovereign wealth fund, fulfilling a campaign promise from 2024. The fund aims to leverage proceeds from U.S. national resources to make strategic investments in infrastructure, defense, and medical research. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary nominee Howard Lutnick have been tasked with establishing the fund over the next 12 months. 

While the executive order sets the framework, the fund’s establishment will require congressional approval, particularly concerning its funding mechanisms. Potential sources of capital include revenues from tariffs and natural resources. However, given the current U.S. budget deficit, securing the necessary funds may present challenges. 

The concept of a U.S. sovereign wealth fund has garnered bipartisan interest. In 2024, both President Joe Biden and former President Trump advocated for its creation, viewing it as a means to invest in national projects and address economic challenges. Critics, however, express concerns about potential mismanagement and question the necessity of such a fund, given the robust private investment landscape in the U.S. 

As the proposal advances, it will be essential to monitor legislative developments and assess the fund’s potential impact on the U.S. economy and its alignment with broader fiscal policies.
