Strategy CEO Phong Le predicted Bitcoin could become the world's digital reserve asset within 10 years, positioning the cryptocurrency alongside gold and the U.S. dollar in government reserves. Le said he expects governments to own Bitcoin as decentralized finance grows and institutional adoption expands. Strategy remains the world's largest corporate Bitcoin holder with 847,363 BTC on its balance sheet, though Bitcoin recently traded near $61,775 below the company's average purchase price of about $75,651 per coin.
Strategy CEO Projects Bitcoin as Future Global Reserve Asset
Le said the next decade could reshape finance as decentralized finance grows and Bitcoin becomes more widely held by institutions and governments. He stated, "In 10 years, Bitcoin will become the digital reserve asset of the world. It'll be as important as the U.S. dollar." Le added that governments around the world will own Bitcoin along with gold and dollars, and Strategy will remain the largest holder of Bitcoin globally. He compared Bitcoin's future role to the internet and artificial intelligence, suggesting Bitcoin may eventually become a financial layer that people stop debating and simply use.
Strategy Holds 847,363 BTC with $11B-$14B Unrealized Loss
Strategy holds 847,363 BTC, making it the largest public corporate Bitcoin holder. The company built that position through years of purchases led by Michael Saylor's Bitcoin treasury strategy. Le said Strategy is designed to outperform Bitcoin over the long term, with MSTR surging over 7% to trade at $100. The company's Bitcoin position remains under market pressure because Bitcoin trades below Strategy's average acquisition cost. Reports have estimated Strategy's unrealized paper loss at roughly $11 billion to $14 billion. Despite that pressure, Strategy continues to position Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset.
Strategy Adopts Active Capital Management Framework
The MSTR CEO addressed Strategy's decision-making process for Bitcoin sales, saying the company does not make such decisions quickly or without internal review. He said Strategy maps capital options quarterly and runs financial models monthly. The company also reviews equity and credit conditions and coordinates decisions with Michael Saylor and the trading team. Strategy has authorized a Bitcoin monetization program that can support cash reserves, preferred dividends, interest costs, and repurchases.
Senator Lummis Promotes Bitcoin as U.S. Strategic Reserve
Senator Cynthia Lummis continues to promote Bitcoin as a possible U.S. strategic reserve asset. Lummis said on a podcast that the U.S. acquiring more than 5% of Bitcoin's supply could reduce or even erase national debt over time. Her proposal centers on the BITCOIN Act, which would target the purchase of 1 million BTC over five years. The U.S. government currently holds 328,352 BTC worth about $20.29 billion according to Arkham data, with most of that Bitcoin coming from criminal and civil forfeiture cases. Bitcoin supporters see sovereign accumulation as a long-term demand driver, though critics point to Bitcoin's volatility, including its drop of nearly 52% from its October all-time high of $126,198.
