While public opinion gets bogged down in debates over ETFs and speculative bubbles, the U.S. government is taking action. Discreetly, but resolutely. Behind the walls of the Capitol, a strategic reserve of bitcoin is being established. This is no longer theory: it is now confirmed. And this revelation changes the game.
It's a paradox that would make even the most seasoned economists raise their eyebrows: while the dollar wavers, the Asian economy is rising up with an almost insolent confidence. At a time when the American Federal Reserve is hesitating on interest rates, and trade tensions seem to be easing without really dissipating, Asia is benefiting from an unexpected boost. This shows that even in the global monetary fog, some find their way.
The shadow of an economic storm looms, tinged with bright red and unpredictable pragmatism. The "Trumpcession" – this neologism that sounds like a warning – encapsulates the growing concern over a trade war with unforeseen consequences. Caught between stimulus and restriction, the Fed and the Bank of England are stuck between rates to adjust and a threatening inflation. How to avoid the domino effect? The answer requires more than an economics manual: a tactical boldness.
Long regarded as a speculative asset, Bitcoin is gradually establishing itself as a strategic element in the management of national reserves. In the face of evolving financial markets and geopolitical tensions, several governments and central banks are considering its integration into their foreign exchange reserves. In the United States, a bill proposes the gradual acquisition of 1 million BTC over five years. In the Czech Republic, the governor of the central bank is exploring the possibility of diversification into crypto. Similarly, in Russia, policymakers are advocating for a strategic reserve in Bitcoin, while in Brazil, a project foresees an allocation of 5% of sovereign reserves to this asset. This movement represents a notable shift in the institutional perception of Bitcoin, which now transcends the framework of private diversification to become an economic and geopolitical issue. While El Salvador has already taken the leap, other countries are proceeding cautiously, hindered by the volatility of cryptocurrencies and regulatory uncertainties. Between experimentation and resistance, a new financial dynamic is emerging, suggesting a potential shift in balance within the global monetary system.
France is facing an unprecedented financial deadlock, with public debt estimated at 110.6% of GDP and a deficit well beyond European criteria. Indeed, the era of half-measures seems to be over, and the Montaigne Institute, an influential Parisian think tank, is sounding the alarm with a bold report titled "Public Finances: The End of Illusions." This document proposes ambitious reforms aimed at saving nearly 150 billion euros by 2050.
The famous bitcoiner and entrepreneur Balaji Srinivasan has just published a diatribe against the United States. According to him, the federal government is on the verge of bankruptcy and being swallowed by trillions of dollars in debt. Faced with such a crisis, the Fed would activate the largest money-printing policy in American history to divert money from taxpayers.
