Key Takeaways:
- Michael Saylor’s Proposal: Saylor urges the U.S. to acquire up to 25% of Bitcoin’s supply by 2035, establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve to strengthen the economy.
- Government Response: Trump signed an executive order creating a Bitcoin reserve, initially funded by seized crypto, but without a structured purchasing plan.
- Economic Impact: Saylor claims the reserve could generate over $10 trillion annually by 2045 and help alleviate national debt.
Michael Saylor has proposed that the U.S. government accumulate up to 25% of Bitcoin’s total supply by 2035, when 99% of BTC will be issued.
In his document, “A Digital Assets Strategy to Dominate the 21st Century Global Economy,” he suggests the government should make systematic daily purchases from 2025 to 2035 to build a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

Presenting at the White House Crypto Summit on March 7, Saylor urged officials, including former President Donald Trump, to adopt a “Never sell your Bitcoin” policy.
He predicts that by 2045, the reserve could generate over $10 trillion annually and contribute up to $81 trillion to the U.S. Treasury, potentially easing national debt.
That same day, Trump signed an executive order creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile, initially funded with seized cryptocurrency.
While it does not include new Bitcoin purchases, the order directs officials to explore budget-neutral acquisition strategies.
Saylor’s proposal exceeds previous ideas, such as Senator Cynthia Lummis’ 2024 Bitcoin Act, which suggested a 5% Bitcoin reserve.
Meanwhile, Saylor’s company recently purchased $2 billion worth of BTC, increasing its holdings to nearly 500,000 BTC.
