Michael Saylor Urges U.S. Government to Acquire Up to 25% of Bitcoin’s Supply

Highlights:

• Saylor urges the U.S. to acquire 25% of the Bitcoin supply for financial dominance.
• He urges President Trump to start daily Bitcoin purchases for strategic reserve.
• Saylor’s crypto strategy could add up to $100 trillion to the U.S. economy.

Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy, introduced a 34-page document titled “A Digital Assets Strategy to Lead the 21st Century Global Economy” to President Donald Trump, global crypto leaders, and government officials at the White House Crypto Summit on March 7. The document outlined a strategy to reshape the U.S. financial system, placing crypto at its core.

The plan aims to ensure Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) can erase national debt, dominate cyberspace, and strengthen the U.S. economy. Saylor urged Trump to start accumulating Bitcoin immediately through a steady daily purchase plan. He said the U.S. government should acquire up to 25% of BTC’s total supply within the next decade for its SBR.

In the document, Saylor wrote:

“Acquire 5-25% of the Bitcoin network in trust for the nation through consistent, programmatic daily purchases between 2025 and 2035, when 99% of all BTC will have been issued.” 

Saylor told Trump that if the U.S. starts buying Bitcoin now, it could generate $16–81 trillion for the Treasury by 2045. During the same period, the SBR could earn over $10 trillion annually without selling a single Bitcoin.

Earlier that day, Trump signed an executive order to create a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” and a “Digital Asset Stockpile.” The initial funding for these initiatives came from cryptocurrencies seized in criminal cases. However, the order did not outline any immediate plans for additional Bitcoin purchases. It also instructed the Treasury and Commerce secretaries to create “budget-neutral strategies” for acquiring more BTC. This ensured no additional costs for taxpayers.

If the U.S. government acquired 25% of Bitcoin’s supply, it would control 5.25 million BTC. This amount is far greater than the 1 million BTC (5% of supply) proposed by Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis. She introduced the Bitcoin Act in July last year.

Saylor’s proposal outlined a plan to rebuild the U.S. financial system around crypto. He divided “digital assets” into four categories, making it easier to connect crypto with traditional markets. The first category, Digital Tokens, includes corporate-backed assets for fundraising and innovation. According to Saylor, these could help U.S. companies raise trillions through tokenized securities.

Next, Digital Securities cover tokenized stocks, bonds, and ETFs. These would trade 24/7 on global markets, reducing costs by removing intermediaries. Then, there are Digital Currencies, which are stablecoins backed by the U.S. dollar. Issued by American companies, they would help maintain global financial control. Saylor called it “an asset without an issuer, backed by Digital Power, for Capital Preservation & Appreciation.” 

Finally, Digital Commodities focus on Bitcoin. Designed for wealth preservation and long-term value storage, Bitcoin stands apart from other assets. Saylor believes that if this framework is adopted, it could add $60-100 trillion to the U.S. economy by 2030. His estimates include $10 trillion from tokens, $20 trillion from digital securities, $10 trillion from stablecoins, and $20 trillion from Bitcoin.
