Strategy Founder Michael Saylor has proposed that the US government acquires up to 25% of its total Bitcoin supply over the next decade of its strategic Bitcoin reserve.
“We will acquire 5-25% of the Bitcoin network for the country through consistent programmatic daily purchases between 2025 and 2035 when 99% of all BTC is issued.
Saylor repeats to the US government.
Saylor presented the document to President Donald Trump, government officials and global crypto leaders at the White House Crypto Summit on March 7th.
He explained that the government should stick to a policy that “never sell your Bitcoin” predicts that by 2045, the strategic Bitcoin reserve could generate more than $10 trillion per year and serve as a “permanent source of prosperity” for Americans.
Until 2045, Saylor said the preparation could occur between $16 trillion and $81 trillion in the US Treasury Department.

That day, Trump signed an executive order establishing a “strategic Bitcoin Reserve” and “digital asset stockpile,” first funded by cryptocurrencies seized in criminal cases.
Although it does not include an immediate plan to buy more Bitcoin, the order said it would develop a “budget neutral strategy” for the secretaries of the Treasury and Commerce to acquire more Bitcoin, and not secure additional costs for taxpayers.
The 25% supply allocation is far beyond previous proposals
If the US government acquires 25% of the total supply of Bitcoin, it will hold 5.25 million BTC. That's well over the 1 million BTC (5% of supply) introduced in July 2024 by Wyoming Sen. Cynthia Ramis.

Meanwhile, Saylor continued to accumulate Bitcoin and purchased another $2 billion worth of dollars on February 24th.
The acquisition comes after the strategy raised another $2 billion in senior convertible notes to buy more Bitcoin.
