The report prepared by Matthew Pines suggests that the US should adopt Bitcoin as a strategic asset to expand its influence in the cryptocurrency space. It states that Bitcoin's scarcity, portability, and decentralization make it a valuable complement to traditional reserves like gold. The establishment of a Bitcoin reserve would help diversify US national assets, hedge against financial risks, and secure an advantage over competitors. Pines urges the US to take full advantage of Bitcoin to reinforce its position as a leader in financial innovation. The report also highlights China's mistake in banning Bitcoin and the US's opportunity to benefit from it. The creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve by executive order on day one is recommended. The report emphasizes three critical benefits of the reserve: reinforcing the strength of the financial system, gaining a headstart over other nations in adopting Bitcoin, and securing the sustainability of the US's fiscal position. The report includes a scenario analysis that shows the benefits of holding more Bitcoin than allies and competitors. Overall, it suggests that failing to act risks losing ground to adversaries aiming to dismantle the foundations of US economic and geopolitical power.
