Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: Why the US Wants Bitcoin to Boom

Bitcoin was built to give investors a way out of the US dollar. Today the US government owns about $25 billion worth of it, and it is openly rooting for the price to go up.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has called himself "a big proponent of the US taking the worldwide lead in crypto."

So the asset investors bought to escape the dollar is now being used by Washington to strengthen the dollar. That twist sits at the center of the strategic Bitcoin reserve, and it matters more than any single day's price.

Bitcoin has fallen hard from its peak, the national debt sits at $40 trillion, the Federal Reserve's interest rates are higher, and inflation is still high. One caveat before we start: everything below reflects what the Trump administration wants today, and a future president could change it fast.

That tug-of-war over the dollar is also why Briefs Finance CEO Jaspreet Singh is hosting a free live investor workshop on September 29 on how to profit from the dollar losing value. It's virtual, with sessions at 10:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. Eastern, and thousands of investors have already registered, so save your seat here.
