Saylor cited historical acquisitions like Manhattan, Louisiana, California, and Alaska in the 19th century. Additionally, the state has repeatedly purchased commodities such as oil, grain, and uranium.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;This has been done before. The idea is very simple: find where the value will be, buy it cheap, and hold it. You are a nation, and that&#8217;s what nations do. [&#8230;] Bitcoin is destiny for the United States. I think the [future President Donald] Trump administration understands this, I think Senator [Cynthia] Lummis understands this [&#8230;] that&#8217;s why it will happen,&#8221; noted the MicroStrategy founder.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>With the new administration and the dominant position of Republicans in the Senate next year, the chances of creating a strategic bitcoin reserve have increased.<\/p>\n<p>According to Saylor, if Lummis&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/senator-cynthia-lummis-proposes-bill-for-us-bitcoin-reserves\">proposal<\/a> to acquire 1 million BTC is accepted, the government could benefit by approximately $16 trillion. However, he also considered a &#8220;maximalist scenario,&#8221; where the US buys 4 million BTC with a potential gain of $81 trillion.

In his view, inter-branch conflicts will hinder this. Nonetheless, the investor supported the idea of the government purchasing additional coins and predicted a rise in the first cryptocurrency to $500,000 if a reserve is established.<\/p>\n<p>On November 11, MicroStrategy&#8217;s stock price reached $351.73, hitting a three-year high.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The creation of a strategic bitcoin reserve is &#8220;the best deal of the 21st century,&#8221; declared MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor at the CantorCrypto conference.
