Bitcoin Soars Past $100,000 as Trump Plans National Crypto Reserve

Bitcoin reached unprecedented heights above $100,000 per coin in 2025, driven by former President Donald Trump‘s announcement of plans to establish a U.S. bitcoin strategic reserve. The cryptocurrency’s surge coincides with increasing institutional adoption and sovereign wealth fund interest.

Presidential Push for Digital Assets

Donald Trump confirmed intentions to create a national bitcoin reserve in December, stating: "We’re gonna do something great with crypto because we don’t want China, or anybody else… but others are embracing it, and we want to be ahead." This marks a significant shift from traditional monetary policy, as the U.S. considers adding cryptocurrency to its strategic reserves.

Institutional Adoption Accelerates

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong predicts bitcoin’s market capitalization will overtake gold by 2030. Armstrong recommends nations maintain at least 11% of their gold reserves in bitcoin, positioning the cryptocurrency as a strategic asset for national economic security.

The world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, reports increasing interest from sovereign wealth funds in bitcoin investments, indicating growing institutional confidence in digital assets as a legitimate store of value.

Global Economic Implications

Armstrong suggests the next phase of international competition will center on digital economic strength rather than traditional military capabilities. "The next global arms race will be in the digital economy, not space," he stated.

During his appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Armstrong projected bitcoin prices reaching "multiple millions" per coin, particularly if other G20 nations follow the U.S. lead in establishing national bitcoin reserves. This development could reshape international monetary dynamics and challenge gold’s traditional role as the primary reserve asset.

The Federal Reserve faces additional pressure as it manages dollar stability amid this rapid evolution in global financial markets. Bitcoin’s integration into national reserves represents a potential paradigm shift in how countries approach monetary sovereignty and financial security in the digital age.
