Catenaa, Tuesday, September 16, 2025- The United States may formally establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) before the end of 2025, according to Alex Thorn, head of firmwide research at Galaxy Digital.
Thorn noted that the market is underestimating the likelihood of a formal announcement, which could position Bitcoin as an official strategic asset for the US government.
The initiative follows an executive order signed by President Trump in March and a recent bill requesting a Treasury feasibility report.
Thorn said lawmakers and administration officials remain actively engaged in planning the reserve, though some experts, including former CoinRoutes chairman Dave Weisburger, expect a launch in 2026, citing a preference for discreet accumulation before public disclosure.
Meanwhile, international momentum is growing, with Kyrgyzstan advancing legislation for a sovereign Bitcoin reserve and Indonesia exploring similar strategies.
Analysts warn that delays could leave the US behind global peers in national Bitcoin strategies.
With only 5.2% of Bitcoin’s 21 million supply remaining to be mined, sustained corporate demand could intensify a supply crunch, potentially driving prices higher.
The US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve could mark a major milestone in national crypto strategy and strengthen institutional support for digital assets.
