Michael Saylor, the founder of the strategy, has suggested that the United States government should obtain as much as 25% of the total Bitcoin supply over the next ten years for its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
In a document titled “A Digital Assets Strategy to Dominate the 21st Century Global Economy,” Saylor stated, “Acquire 5-25% of the Bitcoin network in trust for the nation through consistent, programmatic daily purchases between 2025 and 2035, by which time 99% of all BTC will have been issued.”
Saylor advises the US government: “Never sell your Bitcoin”
Saylor presented his findings to US President Donald Trump, government officials, and global cryptocurrency leaders during the White House Crypto Summit on March 7.
He emphasized that the government should adhere to a “Never sell your Bitcoin” policy, forecasting that by 2045, the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could yield over $10 trillion annually, acting as a “perpetual source of prosperity” for the American populace.
According to Saylor, the Reserve could bring in between $16 trillion and $81 trillion for the US Treasury through 2045, potentially alleviating the national debt.

On the same day, Trump issued an executive order establishing a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” and a “Digital Asset Stockpile,” which would initially be funded by cryptocurrencies seized from criminal cases.
While there was no immediate plan for purchasing additional Bitcoin, the order indicated that the Treasury and Commerce secretaries would craft “budget-neutral strategies” for acquiring more Bitcoin, ensuring that taxpayers would not incur any additional costs.
25% supply allocation surpasses previous suggestions
If the US government were to acquire 25% of Bitcoin’s total supply, it would possess 5.25 million BTC—significantly more than the 1 million BTC (5% of the supply) proposed by Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis in the Bitcoin Act introduced in July 2024.

In the meantime, Saylor has been actively purchasing Bitcoin, acquiring an additional $2 billion worth on February 24, raising Strategy’s total holdings to nearly 500,000 BTC.
This acquisition followed Strategy’s successful $2 billion fundraising through a senior convertible note offering aimed at acquiring more Bitcoin.
