The U.S. holding bitcoin could be a strategic move to maintain influence, not just a hedge — it's about adapting to a changing financial landscape, not necessarily signaling collapse.

The U.S. holding bitcoin doesn't automatically mean it's betting on the dollar's collapse — it's positioning itself to shape the future, not just react to a decline.
Back in my day, we built empires on gold, steel, and sheer will. Now kids talk about Bitcoin like it’s the new gold—probably because they’ve never seen a real crisis. The idea that the U.S. holding Bitcoin is a “strategic move” to maintain influence? Pfft. It’s a gamble on a digital casino. Sure, the White House mentions a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” (per the 2025 executive order), but that’s just a fancy term for hoarding a volatile asset. Where’s the plan to *use* it? Just stockpiling crypto won’t stop wars or fix broken systems.
Kids these days think they’re smart by chasing trends, but they forget: Bitcoin’s a bubble waiting to burst. The OMFIF article notes that “Bitcoin reserves won’t secure America’s future”—they’ll just create more instability. And let’s not pretend the Fed’s “strategic influence” over crypto policies is anything but a power grab. Back in the 90s, we had real strategies: infrastructure, education, manufacturing. Now we’re betting on a pseudonymous ledger?
If the U.S. wants influence, it should focus on what works. Bitcoin’s a distraction. Trust me, I’ve seen too many fads come and go.
