Alex Thorn from Galaxy Digital just dropped a pretty bold prediction that has everyone talking. He thinks there’s a real shot that the US government will officially announce a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve before 2025 wraps up, and he’s convinced the market isn’t taking this possibility seriously enough.
Trump already signed an executive order back in March setting up the framework for this whole thing, but we haven’t seen the actual strategic plan yet. That’s got some people wondering if it’s all just political theater or if something concrete is actually brewing behind the scenes.
What’s interesting is that lawmakers just introduced a bill telling the Treasury to study how this Bitcoin reserve would actually work. That sounds like the kind of groundwork you do when you’re seriously considering something, not just paying lip service to crypto voters.
But not everyone’s buying into Thorn’s timeline. Dave Weisburger from CoinRoutes thinks we’re looking at 2026 at the earliest. His theory is that any smart administration would quietly accumulate Bitcoin first before making any big announcements that could drive up prices.
The whole thing gets more urgent when you look at what other countries are doing. Kyrgyzstan just advanced a bill for their own crypto reserve, and there’s talk happening in Indonesia too. Some Bitcoin folks are worried that if the US keeps dragging their feet, they might get beaten to the punch by smaller nations.
Conclusion
The idea of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is no longer just speculation—it’s edging closer to reality. Whether 2025 or later, the clock is ticking as global rivals move first.
