Will the U.S. signal a shift toward buying Bitcoin for strategic reserves?
At the Bitcoin Brainstorm event, Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, argued that Bitcoin is entering a more mature phase, with declining volatility and a strengthening role as “digital gold.” She noted that a major catalyst for Bitcoin’s scarcity value would be a policy shift by the United States—from merely holding confiscated BTC to actively purchasing Bitcoin for strategic reserves. Such a move would represent a significant change in U.S. crypto policy and could materially affect market expectations.
