There\u2019s an internal working group, led by crypto czar David Sacks, that will look into this.\u00a0This working group needs to come with a result within 80 days. In other words, in less than three months, an SBR could be official U.S. government policy.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span>But there\u2019s more, Sacks also mentioned stablecoin legislation. This is massive news. And still, that\u2019s not all. Yesterday, <\/span><span>President Trump also signed another Executive Order. This EO is to create a Sovereign Wealth Fund.\u00a0<\/span><span>Let\u2019s find out what all these are and what it all means. First, we look into a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Strategic Bitcoin Reserve<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span>The new crypto czar, David Sacks, held a press conference yesterday. He announced that President Trump had tasked to set up a working group. This working group should look into the feasibility of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Sacks made sure not to mention the Strategic Crypto Reserve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">????????

He emphasized the importance of such regulations. It can help to keep the USD dominance worldwide intact. So, this is an important part of his agenda.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Senator Lummis and Senator Hagerty introduced the \u2018Genius Act\u2019. This is a bipartisan regulatory framework for stablecoins. This paves the way for networks that use US based stablecoins to become more adopted. They will also become more valuable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I\u2019ve said it once, and I\u2019ll say it again: this is the year for digital assets.

Ripple, Solana, and Sui seem to be in prime position to profit from this. <\/span><span>As a result, we can see that you will receive your US salaries in stablecoins. Plus of course all other commercial payments will switch to stables. <\/span><span>Think of $USDC and $USDT and other US based stables, <\/span><span>like Ripple\u2019s $RLUSD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This will strengthen the US dollar. Why? Well, simple, really. The stablecoin issuers will start and keep buying <a href=\"https:\/\/treasurydirect.gov\/marketable-securities\/treasury-bonds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">US treasuries<\/a>. <\/span><span>This makes sure that the US dollar remains strong and the global reserve currency. Exactly what Trump wants the US dollar to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Sovereign Wealth Fund<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span>Now I get to the Sovereign Wealth Fund. The previous topics I discussed are great for crypto. However, this SWF is much bigger. An SBR focuses on one asset, Bitcoin. Even an SCR focuses on one asset class, digital assets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The concept of the sovereign wealth fund is a little separate (than the Bitcoin reserve).<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 David Sacks [4th Feb 2025]<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mihir (@RhythmicAnalyst) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RhythmicAnalyst\/status\/1886871142184464837?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 4, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>In contrast, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifswf.org\/what-is-a-sovereign-wealth-fund\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sovereign Wealth Fund<\/a> allows for a more flexible framework. It allows for investment across various asset classes. For example,<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span>Equities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span>Fixed income.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span>Real estate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span>Commodities.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span>So, these assets are less volatile than Bitcoin. Nonetheless, Bitcoin can be part of such an SWF. <\/span><span>This caused Senator Lummis to mention on X that this is a Big deal. She used the Bitcoin \u20bf here as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This is a \u20bfig deal. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZShfQcEGwc\">https:\/\/t.co\/ZShfQcEGwc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Cynthia Lummis (@SenLummis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenLummis\/status\/1886503370254426323?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 3, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>So, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sovereign_wealth_fund\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a>, an SWF is;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>A state-owned investment fund. It invests in real and financial assets such as stocks, bonds, real estate, or precious metals. It can also invest in alternative investments such as private equity funds or hedge funds.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span>These investments can be global, they are not restricted to one country or the country of origin. <\/span><span>In the US, Texas and Alaska already have such a SWF. However, the US as a country never did.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><em><strong>Will Bitcoin Be Part of the Sovereign Wealth Fund?<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n<p><span>Furthermore, Bitcoin being part of such a Fund could reshape global finance. <\/span><span>According to K33, Norway already holds indirectly Bitcoin in their SWF. However, the US adding this to their SWF would have a much larger impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The Norwegian sovereign wealth fund (NBIM) indirectly holds 3,821 BTC, reflecting an increase of 1,375 BTC since June 30, 2024, and a yearly growth of 2,314 BTC\u2014a 153% increase compared to its end-of-year 2023 holdings.<br \/>\nIt is important to highlight that this exposure likely\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/seQ12cM2Rn\">pic.twitter.com\/seQ12cM2Rn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Vetle Lunde (@VetleLunde) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VetleLunde\/status\/1884551445590020106?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 29, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>With the current pro crypto stance in Trump\u2019s administration, adding Bitcoin is an option. However, funding such an SWF is a different story.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The US is a net borrower. This means that it borrows more than it lends. <\/span><span>That\u2019s where DOGE and Musk come into the picture. DOGE could reduce or, at best, flip this deficit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Funding such an SWF would mean that the US needs to reshape its fiscal policy or find other resources.
