It might be a bit more nuanced. If the US doesn’t own a decent chuck btc, I wonder if competitors could sink the dollar through using btc as a replacement. If US holds a fair amount of btc that blocks (at least partially) this line of attack.

how'd that work out with gold? BRICS are more interested in printing their own tyranny than bitcoin
you think the chinese with their CBDC are cool with sats?
It worked out pretty well with gold imho. The reason usd is the world reserve currency is the US had the most gold.
The USD started off as the reserve currency because of economic and military domination, which was expressed through the IMF and World Bank foundations. These are economic slavery shops
The USD stayed the reserve currency because they killed those in the Middle East who dared to sell oil in something else. Sadam, Gadafi, paying off Saudis, the list goes on.
