Michael Saylor to the White House: Bitcoin reserves could create $81 trillion for the U.S.

A Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could generate up to $81 trillion in revenue for the U.S. Treasury by 2045, offsetting the national debt and ensuring economic dominance.

Michael Saylor is the executive chairman of software intelligence company Microstrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), which has rebranded as Strategy. He made a bold proposal at the recent White House Digital Asset Summit, suggesting that the U.S. leverage BTC as a national financial asset.

His plan revolves around creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), which he believes could create tremendous wealth for the U.S. Treasury. He elaborated on the long-term benefits of such an approach, stating:

The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) has the potential to generate $16-81 trillion in wealth for the U.S. Treasury by 2045, providing a viable path to offset the national debt.

By incorporating Bitcoin into the national financial strategy, Saylor believes that the U.S. can consolidate its economic leadership while strengthening the global dominance of the U.S. dollar.

He said a structured and ongoing acquisition strategy is essential to maximizing Bitcoin's economic potential. Saylor proposed a systematic accumulation plan, stating: "5-25% of the Bitcoin network would be acquired for the nation's trust through consistent, programmatic daily purchases between 2025 and 2035, by which time 99% of all BTC would have been issued."

He predicted that this reserve would generate significant financial returns, emphasizing:

By 2045, the reserve should generate over $10 trillion in revenue annually, continue to grow, and become a permanent resource to create prosperity for the American people for generations to come.

To ensure success, he called for eliminating restrictive tax policies on cryptocurrencies, removing regulatory barriers, and promoting greater Bitcoin adoption in the banking and financial sectors. The urgent need for digital assets is at the heart of Saylor's message. He offered an urgent call to action, stating:

A call to action. The time to act is now. By embracing digital assets and promoting innovation, the United States can solidify its position as a global leader in the 21st century economy.

His vision for a Bitcoin-based economic strategy highlights the potential of digital assets to drive national wealth, reduce federal debt, and establish America's leadership in the evolving financial landscape. As policymakers continue to debate cryptocurrency regulation, his proposal adds momentum to the discussion about Bitcoin’s role in the nation’s financial policy. Saylor has also proposed this digital asset framework to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as well as the House Financial Services Committee.
