Marathon Digital Holdings, a U.S.-based Bitcoin mining company, has issued an open letter urging the United States to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve. The letter highlights the importance of Bitcoin's finite supply, decentralized nature, and growing importance as a store of value and medium of exchange. Marathon argues that Bitcoin is a more viable reserve option than gold due to its superior portability and scalability. The company also emphasizes the significance of controlling a significant share of global hashrate to protect nations from external interference in financial transactions. Marathon outlines a six-step plan for the U.S., including creating a Bitcoin reserve and expanding domestic mining operations. The call for action comes at a time of heightened global interest in Bitcoin reserves, with the U.S. trailing behind other nations like China. Failure to act could leave the U.S. vulnerable to geopolitical pressures and alternative financial systems.
