Bitcoin bull and founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), Michael Saylor, has published a paper on US Bitcoin strategy, just prior to his attendance at the White House Crypto Summit.
In the report, he said the benefit to the United States in adopting “the right digital assets framework”, could bring the country US$60-100 trillion (AU$95-158.6k) in economic benefits over the next ten years.

In the document with the name “A Digital Assets Strategy to Dominate the 21st Century Global Economy”, he also proposed that the US should buy between 5-25% of all Bitcoin.
Acquire 5-25% of the Bitcoin network in trust for the nation through consistent, programmatic daily purchases between 2025 and 2035, when 99% of all BTC will have been issued.
Michael Saylor“Never Sell Your Bitcoin”, Says Strategy Founder
Last Friday, US President Donald Trump hosted the inaugural crypto summit at the White House, inviting industry leaders. Saylor presented his plan just a day after Trump signed an Executive Order for establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR).
In Saylor’s strategy, he urged the government to never sell their Bitcoin. According to him, an SBR could “generate $16-81 trillion in wealth for the U.S. Treasury by 2045”.
The plan also proposes four distinct classes – Digital Tokens, Digital Securities, Digital Currencies and Digital Commodities – each designed to fulfill specific roles in the evolving financial ecosystem while preserving necessary rights for issuers, exchanges and owners.
According to Saylor, this will make the United States the global leader in digital finance by ending regulatory hostility, encouraging traditional financial institutions to embrace cryptocurrency and establishing clear principles that balance innovation with appropriate accountability.
Potential Impact on BTC Price
Saylor’s plans are bullish for the OG crypto, but what about price? Sygnum Bank’s head of research, Katalin Tischhauser, believes that a reserve could not only lead to a 20X in the BTC price but could also start a cascade of institutional investors entering the market.
For the time being though, Bitcoin has taken a breather, dropping 15% on the weekly timeframe. At the time of writing, it trades for just US$80.7k (AU$127.8k).

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, said on X, that he believes we could go even lower from here.
He predicts a challenging week for Bitcoin, suggesting a potential drop to US$78k (AU$123.6k) and possibly US$75k (AU$118.9k), with significant volatility expected if prices approach the heavily optioned US$70k (AU$110.9k) to US$75k range.
