US Government Should Hold 25% of Bitcoin Supply by 2035, Says Saylor
MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor has proposed that the US government buy up to 25% of all the Bitcoin in existence over the next 10 years.
In a whitepaper titled A Digital Assets Strategy to Dominate the 21st Century Global Economy, Saylor outlined a plan for the US to buy Bitcoin consistently, programmatically daily from 2025 to 2035. By 2035, 99% of all 21 million Bitcoin will have been mined.
Saylor presented his proposal to President Donald Trump, government officials and crypto leaders at the White House Crypto Summit on March 7. He advocated for a “Never sell your Bitcoin” policy, which would make the US a financial powerhouse in the digital age.
Trillions in Economic Benefits
Saylor estimates that by 2045 the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could generate over $10 trillion a year, be a “perpetual source of prosperity” for Americans and bring in $16 trillion to $81 trillion for the US Treasury over the next 20 years to pay off the national debt.
Earlier on the same day as Saylor’s proposal, President Trump signed an executive order to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a Digital Asset Stockpile.
The order, which funding the reserve with Bitcoin seized from criminals, directs the Treasury and Commerce secretaries to develop “budget-neutral” strategies for future Bitcoin purchases—no extra burden on taxpayers.
25% Bitcoin Allocation: A New Standard
If implemented, Saylor’s plan would mean the US government would hold 5.25 million BTC—far more than previous proposals. For context:
- Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced the Bitcoin Act in July 2024 and recommended the US buy 1 million BTC (5% of total supply).
- The US currently holds around 200,000 BTC seized from criminals, a small fraction of what Saylor is proposing.
Meanwhile Saylor is walking the walk. On February 24 MicroStrategy bought an additional $2 billion in Bitcoin, bringing their total holdings to nearly 500,000 BTC.
This was financed with a $2 billion senior convertible note offering, just another proof of his commitment to Bitcoin long term.Now that politicians are talking about Bitcoin.
