USD is an exception in terms of longevity of a world reserve currency. Mainly cause no other government or institution managed to hold world dominance for this long before. Their politics is getting ever more predatory and this obviously can’t go on forever. The end is near and it won’t be pretty for anyone, but the people who hold some bitcoin are much better positioned for what’s coming than those who don’t.

Didn’t the sterling hold world reserve currency status for longer?

You caught me. Skipped the pound for the sake of simplicity.

Sterling was held as a reserve currency for like 115 years or so.
