Discussions have emerged regarding several countries, including the United States, considering adding Bitcoin to their national reserves. CEO of Jan3, Samson Mow, suggests that traditional financial institutions may view Bitcoin as a threat to their control and are using covert operations to hinder its adoption by nation-states. Mow's interactions with the Central Bank of Suriname were reportedly stalled by representatives from the World Bank, indicating an effort to keep certain countries reliant on traditional financial systems. Despite controversy, the idea of more countries including Bitcoin in their reserves is gaining traction, with U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump and Senator Cynthia Lummis expressing interest. Critics, however, remain skeptical. Countries like Suriname and the United States showing interest in Bitcoin integration reflects a potential shift towards broader acceptance of cryptocurrencies as a legitimate and strategic asset.
