Based on research from Galaxy Digital, it is predicted that the US government will not invest in Bitcoin in 2025. Instead, they will focus on managing their current stash and possibly make policy changes regarding their Bitcoin reserves.
Currently, the government owns 183,850 BTC, valued at around $17.36 billion, which was mostly obtained through asset seizures, such as those from the Silk Road case.
While some speculate that the government may increase their Bitcoin holdings, Head of Research Alex Thorn from Galaxy Digital believes that no new purchases are expected in the upcoming year.
However, there could be discussions within government agencies on creating an “expanded Bitcoin reserve policy.” This may lead to a more formalized and broader approach in utilizing the existing Bitcoin in future strategies.
For instance, Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis has proposed the Bitcoin Act 2024, which suggests the government purchases 200,000 BTC every year for five years, accumulating a reserve of one million BTC. However, it is unlikely that this ambitious plan will come to fruition in 2025, given the current circumstances.
