- Growing number of countries are moving forward with plans to adopt Bitcoin reserves.
- U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, but accumulation has yet to begin.
- Experts predict the U.S. may soon face competition from countries like Pakistan in Bitcoin acquisitions.
- Bitcoin is currently trading at about $109,400, with price growth slower than some expected for 2025.
- Market observers note that traditional Bitcoin cycles may be changing due to increasing institutional interest.
Governments worldwide are increasingly considering the adoption of Bitcoin reserves, with many moving past early hesitation and preparing to take further steps, according to Jan3 founder Samson Mow. Mow discussed this trend on the “What Bitcoin Did” podcast published on YouTube recently, part of a broader conversation about possible large-scale government moves in the cryptocurrency space.
Mow stated that the shift toward Strategic Bitcoin Reserve adoption could happen much faster than many expect. “These things happen very quickly. It’s like literally gradually then suddenly,” he said, suggesting that government interest in Bitcoin may reach a tipping point soon. Although U.S. President Donald Trump has authorized the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve through an executive order, the U.S. government has not yet begun acquiring Bitcoin for that purpose.
According to Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, there is a strong likelihood that the U.S. will establish the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve by the end of the year. Mow warned there is a risk the U.S. could be outpaced by other countries, such as Pakistan, as global competition increases. At present, the U.S. government holds approximately 198,000 Bitcoin, valued at the current market rate—data tracked by USA/” rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank” title=”https://bitbo.io/treasuries/usa/”>Bitbo confirms this position.
Mow pointed to Latin America as a region with significant potential for Bitcoin adoption, saying he expects major moves from countries there. The topic of government-level Bitcoin holdings has gained attention within the industry this year. A research paper by Fidelity Digital Assets in January anticipated growing interest from nation-states, central banks, and sovereign wealth funds in obtaining Bitcoin for their reserves.
Bitcoin is currently trading near $109,400, according to CoinMarketCap, with the price having dropped nearly 2% in the past month. Mow noted that price growth has not matched expectations for the year, and some other analysts, including Matt Hougan of Bitwise, believe the next uptrend could extend into 2026.
Recent developments have led to further discussion about whether the usual four-year Bitcoin Price cycle is shifting, particularly as institutional demand, like exchange-traded funds (ETFs), increases. Mow recently stated in June that reaching a $1 million Bitcoin price is possible either this year or next.
