Polymarket only sees a 16% chance<\/a> that the Donald Trump will order the creation of a strategic bitcoin (BTC) reserve in the first 100 days of its administration, despite assurances from crypto czar David Sacks that there’s an effort underway to explore the idea.<\/p>\n

“President Trump has asked us to study that issue, so we are not ready to comment on it yet. But it’s one of the things our working groups are going to look at,” Sacks said in a recent appearance on Fox. <\/p>\n

Senator Cynthia Lummis, a Wyoming Republican who is known for her bitcoin-friendly policy stance, has submitted a bill<\/a> proposing the creation of a reserve, but this is a separate measure from the White House’s efforts. <\/p>\n

The bill proposes establishing a “Bitcoin Purchase Program” of up to 200,000 BTC a year over a five-year period, and will be partially funded by revaluing Federal Reserve’s gold, CoinDesk previously reported<\/a>. Right now the bill is before the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.<\/p>\n

Among the supporters of such a move is MicroStrategy’s (MSTR) Michael Saylor, who said the plan will protect the dollar.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best way to protect the dollar is make sure you retire the debt and become rich,” said the MicroStrategy (MSTR) executive chairman during a November conference<\/a>. “The next best way to protect the dollar is to make sure that if anybody ever considers a different capital asset other than the treasury bill, you own it.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the State of Texas recently said<\/a> that it is working on its own strategic BTC reserve. Polymarket bettors are giving a 53% chance<\/a> that a bill greenlighting the creation of such a reserve in 2025. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
