In the short term, a Bitcoin reserve won’t help to shrink the debt or facilitate fiscal responsibility. Just the opposite. With a reserve, NGU will allow them to issue even more Ponzi-slave coupons, which will be used for more plunder and murder. Bitcoin isn’t meant to help the State, it’s meant to kill the State…which it will eventually, as reservation demand for Bitcoin overtakes that of bonds and cash.

Granted, they’re going to do whatever they want, regardless of what we say. Bitcoin is for enemies. But for yourself, maybe reconsider what you advocate for.

One one hand: The state has no legitimately owned property. This includes the Bitcoin that'll be in a strategic reserve.

On the other hand: This helps monetize Bitcoin, which accelerates the timeline to demonetizing government debt. Thus making future deficit spending and devaluation (theft) of savers impossible.

Based on the latter point I still thinks it's good to advocate for. Even if it does mean NgU will benefit the state as well in the short to medium term.

Your note is more nuanced than any other takes I’ve seen from influencers lately. The delineation of different effects over different timescales, particularly Bitcoin killing the State, is absent.
