Executive Summary: The United States stands at the dawn of a new financial era – one where becoming the world’s leading Bitcoin superpower is within reach. This high-energy strategic plan outlines how America can boldly acquire at least 3 million bitcoins (over 15% of all BTC) budget-neutrally, without burdening taxpayers. Through creative asset swaps, innovative revenue streams, smart legislation, and public-private partnerships, the U.S. can secure 3,000,000 BTC while offsetting costs via new value creation. This visionary plan – in the inspirational voice of ERIC KIM – is a call to action for America to lead the global Bitcoin race with confidence, cheer, and an unshakeable belief in our innovative spirit. Let’s make the U.S. the ultimate Bitcoin superpower – starting now! 🚀🇺🇸
Goals and Vision: America’s Bitcoin Destiny
America’s moment is now! With inspiration, optimism, and strategic savvy, the U.S. will seize the Bitcoin opportunity and usher in a new era of prosperity and financial freedom. Below, we detail the six strategic pillars of this high-energy plan – each a budget-neutral, realistic strategy for amassing our target of 3,000,000 BTC while keeping the nation’s fiscal house in order. Let’s dive in! 🎉💪
Pillar 1: Mobilize Existing Assets – The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
The journey to 3 million BTC begins with leading by example: consolidate and protect the Bitcoin the U.S. government already owns. The U.S. government is already the world’s largest known state-holder of Bitcoin, thanks to coins seized from criminal cases . Currently, an estimated ≈200,000 BTC (worth ~$20+ billion) sits in federal custody from forfeitures . These include high-profile seizures (e.g. Silk Road and Bitfinex hack funds) and are a treasure trove that can kickstart the reserve .
Action 1.1: Establish a Permanent Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR).
By executive order, the U.S. has already created a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve to hold these forfeited bitcoins . This reserve centralizes seized BTC (previously scattered across agencies) into one secure stockpile. Crucially, the U.S. commits not to sell these coins, treating them as a long-term store of value just like gold . This was affirmed in a 2025 White House fact sheet: seized bitcoin will seed the reserve, and the government “will not sell bitcoin deposited into this Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” . Result: ~200k BTC instantly on America’s balance sheet, at no cost, since these were lawfully forfeited assets. ✅
Action 1.2: “Sweeping” All Seized Crypto into the Reserve.
To maximize this base, every agency holding crypto from enforcement actions should sweep those assets into the SBR. The executive order already directs agencies to provide a full accounting of their crypto holdings and transfer what they legally can . This ensures no coin is left behind. No more auctions selling coins at bargain prices! (Past premature sales cost taxpayers an estimated $17+ billion in lost upside – a mistake we won’t repeat.) Instead, every seized satoshi fuels America’s strategic hodl. This policy shift closes a “crypto management gap” where assets were mishandled and ensures proper oversight and centralization of government-held crypto .
Action 1.3: Digital Asset Stockpile for Altcoins – and Prudent Conversion.
Alongside Bitcoin, a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile has been created for other forfeited cryptocurrencies . While the government won’t buy altcoins, it will hold what it obtains via seizures . This stockpile can be prudently managed – e.g. potentially liquidating less strategic altcoins and converting them into Bitcoin (subject to market conditions) to further boost the BTC reserve . That way, even non-Bitcoin crypto assets ultimately help us accumulate more BTC (the core reserve asset).
Bold Call to Action: Fully fund the reserve! Every agency must rush to comply in pooling seized Bitcoin into the Strategic Reserve. This immediate action could push the U.S. reserve well above 200,000+ BTC within months . It costs nothing, secures what we have, and sets the foundation to grow toward 3 million BTC. We are effectively turning “dirty Bitcoin” (from criminals) into “patriotic Bitcoin” held for the public good. 🇺🇸💰
Pillar 2: Budget-Neutral Bitcoin Acquisition (New Revenues & Asset Swaps)
Reaching 3,000,000 BTC will likely require tens of billions of dollars worth of Bitcoin purchases over time. But fear not – this pillar outlines how to pay for Bitcoin without pain. By generating new revenue streams, reallocating existing assets, and using clever accounting, the U.S. can buy BTC essentially for free (net-zero cost to the budget). Here are the key strategies:
2.1 Asset Reallocation – Swap “Yellow Gold” for “Digital Gold.”
The United States sits on the world’s largest gold reserve: 8,133 metric tons of gold in Fort Knox and other vaults . We propose rebalancing a portion of this gold into Bitcoin. Selling some gold and buying Bitcoin is a classic budget-neutral trade – we’re simply exchanging one reserve asset for another, with no net spending. Why trade gold for BTC? Because Bitcoin’s upside and utility in a digital economy outshine gold’s. Samson Mow (a prominent Bitcoin strategist) notes that the U.S. could fund Bitcoin buys “budget-neutrally” by disposing of an inferior asset (gold) for a superior asset (Bitcoin)” . He calls gold inferior in this context because Bitcoin’s provable scarcity and digital portability make it 21st-century gold. And timing is key: the window for such an advantageous swap is “closing very rapidly” as other investors rotate out of gold into Bitcoin . In short, convert old wealth into new wealth. For example, at current prices, selling just ~5% of U.S. gold reserves could yield ~$25–30 billion to invest in BTC – potentially adding hundreds of thousands of BTC to the treasury. This does not increase debt or taxes one cent; it simply modernizes our reserve composition. Talk about a gold-to-satoshi alchemy!
2.2 Unlock Value by Revaluing Treasury Gold (Accounting Magic).
Even without selling gold outright, the U.S. can leverage its gold holdings through accounting. The Treasury’s official gold valuation is an archaic $42.22/oz, set decades ago . Yet gold’s market price in 2025 is around $2,000–$3,000/oz . Proposal: Revalue the Treasury’s gold reserves closer to market reality (say, $1,500/oz or higher). This would create a one-time accounting windfall – essentially new equity on the government balance sheet, without selling an ounce of gold. Bo Hines (Executive Director of the President’s Digital Assets Council) explains that updating the gold valuation would “unlock capital that may be used to acquire more Bitcoin for the reserve” . In other words, by simply recognizing our gold’s true value, we could free up tens of billions of dollars internally, which can then be funneled into BTC purchases budget-neutrally. This creative fiscal tool turns paper gains into strategic Bitcoin without new taxes or borrowing.
2.3 Leverage New Revenue Streams (Tariffs & Crypto Taxes for BTC).
Another approach is to dedicate new or existing revenue streams specifically to Bitcoin acquisition. For example, recent U.S. policy has included sweeping tariffs on foreign goods . Tariffs bring in revenue; ordinarily it goes to general funds, but we can earmark it. Hines noted that future tariff earnings could be channeled to Bitcoin purchases, aligning with the commitment to no extra taxpayer cost . This is smart because tariff revenue is incremental money – instead of funding pork projects, channel a slice into BTC reserves. It’s essentially making our trade policy work double-duty: protecting industries and filling the Bitcoin coffers! Similarly, “smart taxation” can help. We can implement pro-growth crypto tax policies that actually increase overall tax receipts, then use that surplus to buy BTC. For instance: encourage crypto innovation (leading to more taxable economic activity), or close loopholes on crypto tax evasion to capture revenue. Even a very modest financial transaction fee on large-scale crypto trades could be considered – the key is any new tax is directly tied to funding Bitcoin buys, so it’s revenue-positive and purpose-driven. Congress could create a Bitcoin Acquisition Trust Fund where specified revenues (tariffs, fees, etc.) automatically convert to BTC for the reserve. New money in, Bitcoin out. Simple and effective.
2.4 Bitcoin Bonds & Debt Restructuring (Innovative Financing).
To go big (3 million BTC is ambitious!), the U.S. can tap into private investor enthusiasm via Bitcoin-linked bonds. Imagine the Treasury issuing a “Bitcoin Victory Bond” – a special series of government bonds where proceeds are used to buy BTC, and the bond’s payoff could even be linked to Bitcoin’s value growth. American citizens and institutions would jump at the chance to invest in national Bitcoin reserves with a government guarantee. This echoes the spirit of WWII-era war bonds – patriotic investing – but for the digital age. Such bonds raise upfront cash (budget-neutral if structured properly) which is then swapped into Bitcoin. The debt servicing can be designed to be low-cost, especially if Bitcoin’s appreciation outpaces the bond interest (likely in the long run, given BTC’s past decade of growth). Debt restructuring could also mean refinancing high-interest debt with ultra-low-interest Bitcoin bonds, using the savings to buy BTC – effectively letting market investors fund our BTC buys in exchange for modest interest. Even other countries might buy these bonds, effectively contributing to America’s Bitcoin reserve in exchange for a stable return. Finally, we could explore public-private investment vehicles – e.g. a sovereign Bitcoin fund where government and private sector pool funds to acquire BTC, sharing the upside. All these tools mean we don’t have to print money or raise taxes; we harness investor capital and the allure of Bitcoin’s growth to finance the accumulation. It’s creative, fun, and a win-win for participants!
2.5 Asset Recycling & Federal Holdings Optimization.
Beyond gold, the federal government has trillions in assets – from oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, to vast land holdings, to equity stakes in institutions. We can “recycle” underutilized or non-critical assets into Bitcoin. For example, selling a small fraction of surplus petroleum when oil prices spike and using proceeds to buy BTC (turn “black gold” into digital gold). Or leasing out federal lands for sustainable Bitcoin mining (as covered in Pillar 3) – generating rental revenue payable in BTC. Even encouraging agencies or state governments to hold part of their rainy-day funds in BTC could indirectly bolster national holdings. The ethos here is every dollar of value we can free up or create elsewhere is a dollar we can invest in Bitcoin – without new borrowing.
Bold Call to Action: Unleash American ingenuity in finance! Congress and the Administration must greenlight these budget-neutral tactics immediately – from gold swaps to Bitcoin bonds. By tapping into existing wealth and new revenues, we can accumulate BTC at scale without sacrificing fiscal stability. This is fiscal jiu-jitsu: use our strengths (gold, revenue, credit) to grab the Bitcoin bull by the horns. The world is watching – and the time to act is now, while Bitcoin adoption is in its early exponential phase. Let’s fund our future with creativity, not austerity! 🎊💸
Pillar 3: Energy Leverage – Become the Global Bitcoin Mining Powerhouse
America’s abundance of energy isn’t just an economic advantage – it’s a strategic weapon in the quest for Bitcoin dominance. Bitcoin mining converts energy into BTC, and the U.S. is blessed with massive energy resources (from oil & gas to renewables). Pillar 3 of our plan: harness America’s energy might to earn Bitcoin directly, at low cost, by ramping up domestic mining in a public-private alliance. This approach turns natural resources and ingenuity into digital assets, all while boosting jobs and innovation at home. Crucially, it can be structured to be budget-neutral or even revenue-positive for the government. Here’s how:
3.1 Public-Private Mining Partnerships (Miners + Government = BTC for Both).
Rather than the government itself setting up mining farms (which could be inefficient), we propose facilitating partnerships with existing U.S. mining companies. The White House’s crypto advisors have explicitly signaled openness to this idea: a “public-private partnership between miners [and the government]… to accumulate Bitcoin for the reserve” was touted by Bo Hines in mid-2025 . The concept is brilliant: industrial-scale miners would route a portion of their newly mined bitcoins directly to government wallets. In return, the government can offer incentives that cost little or nothing upfront – for example, long-term fixed-price power contracts, tax breaks, or expedited permitting for mining facilities . Essentially, we trade regulatory and economic support for a share of the block rewards. It’s a win-win: miners get stability and growth; Uncle Sam steadily stockpiles BTC from each new block mined on U.S. soil. This approach is budget-neutral because the government isn’t spending cash – we’re leveraging policy tools and the promise of stable infrastructure to “pay” for the BTC. With the U.S. already commanding an estimated 35% of global Bitcoin hashrate (thanks to past mining booms in states like Texas, Wyoming, and Georgia), formalizing such partnerships could yield a huge stream of Bitcoin into our reserves on autopilot. For example, if U.S.-based miners collectively earn, say, 50,000 BTC/year in block rewards, even a modest 10% tithe to the Treasury would be 5,000 BTC/year added to the reserve – at essentially zero financial cost to the government. And we can scale that up with more mining capacity.
3.2 Utilize Stranded & Renewable Energy (From Wasted to Minted).
The U.S. has ample stranded, wasted, or underutilized energy that can be converted to Bitcoin. Think of flared natural gas in oil fields, which is often burned off wastefully – we can capture that gas to fuel generators for mining instead. Or regions with surplus renewable energy (wind, solar, hydro) at off-peak times – rather than curtailing production, use it for mining. By partnering with energy companies, the government can facilitate building mining data centers next to energy sources. A portion of the mining profits (in BTC) flows to the government or is retained by partially government-owned enterprises. This not only yields Bitcoin, but also improves energy efficiency and environmental outcomes (e.g., reducing carbon emissions from flaring). A shining example is Bhutan: this small nation uses its abundant hydropower to run government-supported Bitcoin mining, amassing thousands of BTC as a result . Bhutan harnessed green energy to generate revenue in Bitcoin , all while positioning itself as a high-tech innovator. The U.S. can do the same on a 100x bigger scale. For instance, the Department of Energy could launch “Project Renewable Satoshi,” inviting proposals to utilize federal lands or resources for sustainable mining, with a cut of the BTC going to the public reserve. The key is turning energy into Bitcoin – especially energy that would otherwise be wasted or sold cheaply. It’s like spinning straw into gold, but with solar rays and natural gas instead of straw!
3.3 Energy Diplomacy – Bitcoin in Exchange for Resources:
The U.S. can also use its clout in energy exports to indirectly gain BTC. For instance, the U.S. is now a top exporter of LNG (natural gas) and oil. We could structure some international deals where allied countries pay for energy in Bitcoin or where we take payment partly in BTC. Those BTC would go to our reserves. This is akin to how some nations have accepted commodity payments in gold historically. It’s bold and would mark a first in petro-crypto diplomacy! Another idea: encourage oil-rich states (like Texas, Alaska) to mine using a fraction of their production (e.g., using some oil revenue to buy miners or electricity for mining), then share some of the BTC with the federal reserve as part of a revenue-sharing compact. Such federalist partnerships could rally resource-rich states to the national cause, all budget-neutral from the federal perspective (states invest their resources, federal gov provides technical help or regulatory support, and both share the spoils in BTC).
3.4 Embrace “Bitcoin Mining as Infrastructure.”
Recognize mining operations as critical infrastructure that strengthens our financial network. Provide them similar support as other infrastructure projects: low-cost financing, access to grid improvements, R&D support for more efficient mining chips (possibly in partnership with tech companies). The government could even use some of its own facilities for mining pilots – e.g. small mining farms at federal dams or military bases with spare power. The profits (BTC) go to the Treasury. These pilot projects serve as testbeds and statements of intent, while the heavy lifting is done by incentivizing the private sector at large scale as described above.
Bold Call to Action: Ignite the American Bitcoin mining boom! We urge immediate action: federal agencies (Energy, Commerce, Treasury) should launch initiatives to integrate Bitcoin mining into our national energy strategy. Provide clear regulatory green lights and incentives for miners. Strike deals: “cheap energy for a share of your Bitcoin.” By doing so, the U.S. will not only secure a torrent of new BTC, but also shore up our energy grid (miners can stabilize demand), create jobs in rural areas, and keep mining power out of adversaries’ hands. Let’s light up those ASICs and make the Earth hum with the sound of American miners minting digital gold! 🎉⚡💪
Pillar 4: Innovative Public-Private & Financial Partnerships
To reach a goal as large as 3 million BTC, collaboration is key. Pillar 4 focuses on forging innovative partnerships across the public and private sectors – from Wall Street to Silicon Valley to academia – to accelerate Bitcoin accumulation and integration into our financial system. By rallying America’s brightest financial minds and biggest institutions to this cause, we multiply our strength. Here’s how partnerships can supercharge the plan:
4.1 Alliance with Financial Institutions (Banks, Exchanges, and Funds).
Rather than government trying to buy enormous amounts of BTC in isolation (which could spook markets), we can partner with major U.S. financial institutions to execute the strategy smoothly. For example, form a consortium of banks and crypto exchanges (like Coinbase, Gemini, Fidelity Digital Assets, major Wall Street banks) under a confidentiality agreement to help the Treasury acquire Bitcoin gradually and OTC (over-the-counter) to avoid slippage. These partners can identify liquidity, broker deals with miners or long-term holders, and even temporarily front liquidity if needed. In return, the government can offer regulatory clarity and perhaps small fees – again, essentially budget-neutral if structured properly. Additionally, encourage public companies with large Bitcoin holdings (e.g. MicroStrategy, which holds ~140k BTC; Tesla, etc.) to coordinate on strategy – not necessarily to hand over their BTC, but to align on promoting Bitcoin-friendly policies. A public-private Bitcoin Coordination Council could be formed, including government officials and private sector leaders, to share insights and line up big players behind the accumulation mission. This spreads out the effort and ensures the market isn’t shocked by unilateral government moves. America’s financial giants want the U.S. to be #1 in crypto; by teaming up, we make it happen faster and safer.
4.2 Corporate & Tech Partnerships (Fortune 500 Adoption Drive).
Another partnership angle: incentivize American corporations to hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets (as strategic reserves or Treasury assets), effectively increasing U.S.-domiciled Bitcoin reserves. The government can offer modest tax incentives or clearer accounting rules for companies that allocate a portion of cash to BTC. If dozens of Fortune 500 firms each add, say, 5% of their cash (~$50 billion collectively) into Bitcoin, that’s a massive indirect national reserve boost – and doesn’t cost the government spending, it increases corporate tax base in the long run as Bitcoin gains. We can also partner with tech innovators: e.g., support from companies like Block (Square), PayPal, or Apple to integrate Bitcoin into payment systems or wallets for Americans, making it easier for citizens to save in BTC (which strengthens national holdings broadly). Public-private initiatives could include hackathons for Bitcoin security, joint ventures on improving Bitcoin scalability or energy efficiency (imagine a national lab teaming with a Bitcoin startup). These investments yield better infrastructure to support our big holdings – a technological partnership angle.
4.3 Joint Ventures with Allied Nations or Funds.
While the goal is for the U.S. to lead, we can still collaborate with allies. For example, work with allied sovereign wealth funds (like those of Japan, Norway, UAE etc.) on parallel Bitcoin accumulation strategies – even co-invest in mining or storage ventures. This spreads adoption and can create friendly agreements (e.g. not dumping on each other). A North American Bitcoin Mining Alliance with Canada (rich in hydro power) could secure continent-wide hashrate and coin production, benefitting all and especially the U.S. reserve via sharing arrangements. Partnering doesn’t mean giving up our lead – it means creating a pro-Bitcoin coalition that ensures the West (and U.S. allies) dominate over potential adversaries in crypto holdings and infrastructure.
4.4 Academia and Education Partnerships.
To sustain this initiative, we need talent and public support. Partner with universities (MIT, Stanford, etc.) to create Bitcoin research centers, develop quantum-resistant cryptography (to future-proof Bitcoin), and train the next generation of blockchain experts. In exchange for grants, these centers can contribute to the security and advancement of Bitcoin technology, ensuring our 3 million BTC will remain secure and useful for decades. Educating the public via university extension courses or public-private info campaigns can also increase buy-in (literally and figuratively) from citizens, making the movement national. When people understand why we’re doing this – safeguarding prosperity in a digital age – they’ll be enthusiastic.
Bold Call to Action: United We Stand (to HODL)! We call on American industry, finance, and academia to join forces with the government in this grand initiative. The synergy of public purpose and private innovation is our secret weapon. By forming strategic alliances, we multiply resources and expertise. Let’s sign those MOUs, ink those partnerships, and shake those hands! The race for Bitcoin dominance is not a solo sprint – it’s Team USA in a relay against the world. And with unity, we will win. 🏅🤝 Go Team!
Pillar 5: Smart Legislation & Regulation – Cementing Crypto Leadership
No great initiative succeeds without the right laws and regulatory climate. Pillar 5 ensures the U.S. has the legal framework to acquire, hold, and benefit from Bitcoin at scale. We need legislation that supports our 3 million BTC goal, gives it longevity beyond any one administration, and fosters a vibrant domestic crypto industry (because a strong industry means more talent and tax revenue to support the reserve!). Key actions include:
5.1 Enshrine the Bitcoin Reserve in Law.
Relying on executive orders is a start, but laws last longer. We will work with Congress to pass legislation formally authorizing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and setting accumulation targets. In fact, forward-thinking legislators have already begun: Senator Cynthia Lummis introduced a bill to direct the purchase of 1,000,000 BTC over five years by diversifying existing federal funds . This visionary bill (co-sponsored by a cohort of pro-innovation senators) aimed to “transform the President’s visionary executive action into enduring law” . We will push for an updated version setting the 3,000,000 BTC goal and establishing a clear mandate to achieve it using the budget-neutral methods outlined. When Congress says “do it,” it’s harder for future leaders to undo. This also signals to markets and foreign governments that the U.S. commitment to Bitcoin is serious and permanent. Additionally, by law, classify Bitcoin alongside gold in terms of reserve treatment – making it explicit that selling core reserve BTC (like selling gold) should be avoided except in extreme emergencies. Lock in the HODL mentality!
5.2 Crypto-Friendly Regulation (No More Uncertainty!).
To maximize the upside and minimize risks, the U.S. must be the best place on Earth for crypto innovation. That means sensible regulations that protect consumers without strangling the industry. Recent moves show positive momentum: by March 2025, regulators like OCC and FDIC clarified that banks don’t need special permission to engage with crypto . We will build on this: provide clear guidance that banks can custody Bitcoin, that stablecoin issuers can be federally chartered, and that reasonable capital rules allow holding BTC as an asset. Legislation like the proposed GENIUS Act (for stablecoins) should be advanced, as Pakistan even cited U.S. stablecoin legislation efforts as inspiration . We want U.S. law to welcome crypto entrepreneurs and capital. Specific ideas: create a safe harbor for crypto startups (limited grace period from certain regs), clarify tax treatment for crypto loans or staking, and update securities laws to distinguish digital tokens clearly. For mining, ensure environmental regulations are balanced – recognize using wasted energy for mining as a net positive. Perhaps even tax credits for green mining initiatives. The friendlier the environment, the more crypto business (and thus tax revenue and talent) will flow here, indirectly supporting our Bitcoin reserve mission.
5.3 Fiscal Tools & Oversight Mechanisms.
Legislate the fiscal mechanisms that make our plan work. For instance, pass a law authorizing the Treasury to use tariff revenues for strategic Bitcoin purchases (with transparent reporting) . Or a law allowing the revaluation of gold and automatic transfer of the valuation gains into a Bitcoin Acquisition Fund . Create oversight committees (perhaps an extension of the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets, now including Digital Assets) to monitor the accumulation plan and ensure accountability. Regular reports to Congress on Bitcoin reserve status will keep momentum and trust. We might also need to tweak the Federal Reserve Act or Treasury authorities to explicitly permit holding digital assets. It’s mostly uncharted territory, so we should proactively legalize what we need to do. All of this can be wrapped into an omnibus “American Bitcoin Leadership Act.”
5.4 Public Engagement and Education via Policy.
Legislation can also support public adoption: e.g., allow Americans to opt to receive federal tax refunds or stimulus in Bitcoin, delivered by the U.S. Treasury’s crypto wallet. This popularizes Bitcoin and aligns citizens with the national strategy (when they personally hold BTC, they’re likely to support the government holding it too!). Consider establishing a small Bitcoin savings program for U.S. citizens, like a digital EE savings bond but in BTC – possibly with matching contributions for low-income families to encourage saving. These are soft measures, but they help build a national ethos of embracing Bitcoin, making it politically easier to sustain the reserve.
Bold Call to Action: Congress, step up! It’s time for our lawmakers to put ideology aside and act in the national interest by codifying America’s crypto dominance. We call on the pro-innovation leaders in both parties – this is your moonshot to legislate! The laws we pass today will secure prosperity for generations to come. No more regulatory seesaw or partisan bickering – let’s get this done with smiles on our faces and confidence in our hearts. America will lead the world into the crypto future, one statute at a time. 📜⚖️ Make the laws, win the future!
Pillar 6: Emulate & Surpass Global Competitors (Geo-Crypto Strategy)
The United States does not operate in a vacuum – other nations are waking up to the strategic value of Bitcoin. Pillar 6 ensures we study and outpace global peers. We will compare, learn, and outmaneuver so that America stays #1. Below is Table 1 summarizing known or rumored Bitcoin holdings of various nations and their strategies, illustrating the competitive landscape:
Table 1: Global Bitcoin Holdings & Strategies by Nation (2025)
| Country | Est. Govt BTC Holdings | Strategy Highlights |
| United States (Plan) | 200,000 → 3,000,000 BTC (current → target) (~16% of supply) | Strategic Reserve seeded with seized BTC ; Budget-neutral buys via asset swaps (gold) , tariff revenue ; Public-private mining partnerships (miners share block rewards) ; Crypto-friendly laws (proposed) ; Vision to “accumulate as much as possible” (no cap) . |
| China | ~194,000 BTC (estimated) | Seized crypto from PlusToken scam (2019) – 194k BTC confiscated . Officially bans private crypto trading, but government holds seized BTC. Possible quiet mining via state-linked firms (unconfirmed). |
| United Kingdom | ~61,245 BTC (estimated) | Accumulated via law enforcement seizures (money laundering cases) . UK recently tops global crypto adoption rankings; considering reserve policy. No public reserve yet, but signals of interest in digital asset strategy. |
| El Salvador | ~6,200 BTC (small but symbolic) | Bitcoin Legal Tender nation 🇸🇻 – buys small amounts regularly (≈$500m spent) . Using geothermal energy to mine (“Volcano Bonds”) . Strong political will (President Bukele) but limited budget. |
| Bhutan | ~12,000 BTC | Sovereign mining utilizing hydro-power (green energy) . Secretly accumulated BTC via mining and investment. Focus on crypto to diversify economy. |
| Pakistan | Just starting (initial goal not stated) | Announced 2025: creating national Bitcoin reserve inspired by U.S. . Will use seized BTC and earmark 2,000 MW of power for mining farms . “Will never sell” reserve BTC (long-term hodl) . |
| Russia | Unknown (likely significant via mining) | Facing sanctions, Russia allows crypto for international trade. Encouraging domestic mining (cheap energy) – could accumulate indirectly. Central bank officially wary but exploring digital ruble. |
| United Arab Emirates | Rumored 420,000 BTC (unconfirmed) | Unconfirmed reports (even cited by Binance’s ex-CEO CZ) suggest UAE sovereign funds bought BTC . UAE positioning as crypto hub (Dubai regulations friendly). If true, UAE already outpaces U.S. in holdings – a Sputnik moment for us to respond! |
| Ukraine | ~46,000 BTC (est.) | High crypto adoption, donations during war contributed to holdings . Legalized crypto; planning to include BTC in reserves post-war. |
| North Korea | ~1,927 BTC (ill-gotten) | Infamous for cyber thefts – e.g. $1.5B exchange hack provided BTC . Uses stolen crypto to fund regime. Illustrates adversaries accumulating covertly. |
| Others (Brazil, Japan, etc.) | Trace/Unknown | Politicians in UK, Brazil, Poland, Japan have floated reserve ideas . No major holdings disclosed yet, but momentum growing worldwide. |
(Sources: Public reports and estimates ; policy announcements ; industry rumors .)
The table shows a rapidly shifting landscape. As of early 2025, the U.S. officially held ~200k BTC, but some rivals (and allies) are catching up or even surpassing in secret. For instance, China’s seized 194k BTC and the rumor of UAE at 420k BTC should light a fire under U.S. policymakers . Even small nations like El Salvador and Bhutan have proven creative, leveraging energy and bold policies to stack sats . And now, inspired by America’s talk of a reserve, countries like Pakistan are jumping in head-first . The trend is clear: a global Bitcoin accumulation race has begun, and the United States must sprint ahead to lead.
U.S. vs. Others – Key Comparative Insights:
Bold Call to Action: Outrun and Outshine the world! We cannot rest on our laurels – while we talk, others act. We must implement our plan rapidly to lock in a lead that no nation can challenge. Just as the U.S. led in aerospace, internet, and AI by setting bold goals, we now must do the same in Bitcoin. The message to the world: “America is ALL IN on Bitcoin innovation and accumulation – follow us or be left behind.” This confidence will attract allies, deter adversaries, and secure our economic future. On your mark, get set… GO USA! 🥇🌍
Risk Assessment & Mitigation Strategies
No great venture is without risks. This plan is ambitious and we must confront potential pitfalls head-on, with clear eyes and proactive solutions. Below we outline key risks – economic, technological, geopolitical, and monetary – along with mitigation strategies to ensure the plan’s success remains on track (delivered in an upbeat tone, because even challenges can be met with optimism!):
In short, no risk is insurmountable. With proactive management and America’s vast capabilities, we can tackle each of these challenges. The upbeat truth: each risk is also an opportunity in disguise. Volatility? An opportunity to buy dips. Security challenges? A chance to build world-beating cybersecurity. Competitors? Motivation to innovate faster. By anticipating and addressing these factors, we ensure the journey to 3 million BTC is smooth, secure, and successful. We’ve got this! 🎉👍
Conclusion: A Bold, Joyful Leap into the Crypto Future
The United States has a once-in-a-century opportunity to redefine financial leadership. By executing this bold plan to acquire 3,000,000+ BTC as a strategic national reserve, America will:
This strategy is ambitious – even audacious – but so were the Apollo missions, the Internet revolution, and every great American endeavor. We succeed when we dare to dream big and put in the work. Today, that means embracing Bitcoin not as a threat, but as a profound opportunity.
Let’s picture the outcome: a United States that in a few years’ time holds a massive Bitcoin reserve funded without adding to the deficit, now worth trillions of dollars, fortifying the dollar and our financial position. Our energy sector is greener and more efficient, our tech sector booming with new ventures, our allies working alongside us, and our potential adversaries left in the dust of our success. The American people – perhaps tens of millions of Bitcoin holders strong – share in the wealth creation and pride. We will have shown the world that freedom, innovation and an upbeat can-do attitude can accomplish wonders, again.
This is our “Digital Manhattan Project” – except it brings wealth, not war. It’s our generation’s moonshot, our manifest destiny on the blockchain frontier. 🇺🇸🚀 In the words of one enthusiastic official, when asked how much Bitcoin the U.S. should aim for, “I’d like it to be infinite. I want as much as we can possibly accumulate.” – that spirit of limitless aspiration is exactly the energy driving this plan. We won’t literally get infinite BTC, of course, but 3 million is a heck of a start! And why stop there? As this plan succeeds, we’ll continue accumulating so long as it delivers value. Anything with true, intrinsic value – you want as much as you can get . Bitcoin has proven its value; now we prove our vision.
So, here’s to Project Bitcoin Eagle – a strategy as bold as America itself. Let’s embrace this cheerful revolution, rally public and private forces, and charge forward with confidence. The tone of this mission is optimistic, patriotic, and downright excited for what’s to come. With every block mined, every satoshi saved, we are building a legacy of wealth and freedom for future generations.
The United States of America will be the Bitcoin superpower the world needs – leading with wisdom, fueled by innovation, and guided by optimism. It’s time to secure the bag (3 million of them!) and shine as the beacon of crypto-capitalism.

Ironically, ChatGPT AI text generation videos and photos and images… is more about crafting your own reality rather than “virtual reality?”
1 From Leica to Large‑Language Models
Kim built a global following through street‑photography workshops; in 2023‑24 he pivoted hard into AI commentary and tool‑building, arguing that photographers must master the algorithms that now surface their work online. He describes the move as a “creative sovereignty play”—controlling the code as well as the camera.
2 Innovation Pillar #1 – “AI‑First” Publishing & Data Generosity
3 Innovation Pillar #2 – Generative‑AI Visual Storytelling
Kim moved from classic street images to prompt‑engineering hybrid visuals, testing Midjourney, DALL‑E 3 and Stable Diffusion against his own Leica frames to explore style transfer and narrative expansion.
He livestreams experiments on YouTube—turning model hallucinations into teachable moments about composition and aesthetics.
4 Innovation Pillar #3 – The “Eric Kim Bot”
Rather than wait for someone else to distill a decade of articles, he fine‑tuned a GPT‑4 slot with his archive and launched the Eric Kim Bot, a free conversational mentor for photography, creativity and philosophy.
Outcome: Thousands of chats per month feed fresh usage data back into his content roadmap—closing the creator–AI–audience loop.
5 Innovation Pillar #4 – Education at Internet Speed
Kim’s long‑form essays on Writing in the Age of ChatGPT now sit alongside video walk‑throughs of prompt iteration, giving creatives “permission to play” with models instead of fearing them.
Complementary posts on Mastering AI outline mental models, reading lists and workout‑style drills for building prompt fluency.
6 Innovation Pillar #5 – Cross‑Disciplinary Meta‑Frameworks
He famously evaluates new tech against three questions—Does this increase sovereignty? Does it speed feedback? Can I open‑source it?—a rubric that led him to commit early to both Bitcoin and AI, while skipping NFT hype.
The same framework shapes his strength‑training and business experiments, illustrating how first‑principles thinking can port across wildly different domains.

8 Why It Matters – Three Lessons for Every Innovator
🚀 Hype‑Fueled Send‑Off
Eric Kim proves that in the age of generative everything, the boldest innovation is often the fastest iteration. Keep sharing, keep tweaking, keep learning—and you’ll find yourself not merely using AI, but bending it to amplify your own unique voice. Now go innovate like gravity isn’t even watching! 🎉💡
Short answer? Because a 75‑kilogram lifter just slung 547 kg off the pins—7.3 × my own mass—and that single act detonates decades‑old assumptions about who can be strong, how we should train, and what “fitness” even means. The ripple touches everything from exercise science textbooks to TikTok algorithms, from the way coaches periodize power to the events you’ll buy tickets for next year. Below is the long version—straight from me, Eric Kim, equal parts hype man and human proof‑of‑concept.
1 — I Rewrote the Math of Strength
Traditional “elite” standards top out around 2–3 × body‑weight in barbell lifts .
My rack‑pull at 7.3 × BW blasts past Brian Shaw’s 511 kg pull—even though he outweighs me by more than 100 kg —and parks right beside Anthony Pernice’s 550 kg silver‑dollar record at roughly half his mass .
When an outlier resets the axis, every relative‑strength chart on the planet needs a new scale.
What it changes
2 — I Pushed the Rack‑Pull Past Theory into Mythology
Rack pulls have long been touted for posterior‑chain overload with less lumbar stress .
But few believed the lift’s top‑end was 500 kg+, let alone north of 540 kg by someone my size.
By yanking that weight, I turned a “supplemental” movement into the centerpiece of heavy‑loading research—cue new studies, new specialty bars, and fresh waves of lifters discovering hinge power without fear of ground‑level deadlift injuries.
3 — I Proved Size Is Optional
Sports scientists link absolute strength with neural‑drive efficiency as much as muscle cross‑section .
My pull is living evidence: maximize motor‑unit recruitment, tendon stiffness, and lever optimization, and you can out‑lift giants.
That message resonates with climbers, gymnasts, fighters—athletes for whom added bulk is a liability—fueling a global shift toward power‑to‑weight culture .
4 — Blueprint‑Level Transparency
I publish every micro‑cycle, warm‑up, and recovery metric in real time via wearables—velocity‑based trackers, EMG sleeves, HRV bands.
Consumer devices now let anyone replicate elite data streams once locked inside labs .
Result: crowdsourced experimentation accelerates; evidence‑based strength goes open‑source.
5 — Social‑Media Shockwaves
Posts showcasing “impossible” feats measurably spike exercise intention and adherence .
My lift hit every major platform within hours, stacking millions of loops and duets.
That virality doesn’t just entertain—it raises the collective ceiling of what casual gym‑goers believe is attainable, the same way Eddie Hall’s 500 kg deadlift dragged mainstream eyes onto powerlifting .
6 — New Contests, New Fans
When Hyrox can sell out arenas by gamifying functional fitness , imagine the draw of a relative‑strength league where flyweight phenoms chase 6× BW hauls live on stage.
Promoters are already pitching “Gravity Quit” meets: partial‑pull and weighted‑chin‑up showdowns segmented by body‑weight and age, not gender alone.
7 — Implications for Periodization & Power Sports
Research on periodized strength shows ballistic work benefits athletes once they cross certain relative‑strength thresholds .
My data provide a new North Star for those thresholds, pushing coaches to incorporate overload partials and neural‑drive blocks earlier in an athlete’s lifecycle.
8 — A Historical Through‑Line
Jack LaLanne brought fitness into living rooms ; CrossFit turned WODs into worldwide sport ; now extreme relative strength steps forward as the next evolution.
Analysts already tag it among the top trends shaping the 2030 fitness landscape .
9 — Mindset Is the Multiplier
Psych sport studies confirm witnessing extraordinary feats amplifies intrinsic motivation .
By making the “impossible” look light, I hand every viewer a cognitive pry‑bar: if one person can topple physics at 75 kg, what’s your excuse for skipping leg day?
10 — Where We Go from Here
Final Word
History remembers moments that shatter mental ceilings. My 547 kg rack‑pull is one of them. It’s not about me alone; it’s about proving physics bends to preparation, precision, and audacity. Jump on, or watch from the sidelines—but the future of fitness just got lighter on excuses and heavier on iron.
More than 80 % of Cambodian bank deposits are in U.S. dollars—a giant external umbilical cord that leaves every tuk‑tuk driver’s savings at the mercy of Washington’s monetary tides. Remittance inflows now top $2.8 billion a year, yet migrants still bleed 6 %–7 % in fees just to send money home. Meanwhile, 41 % of adults remain outside formal finance and must juggle fistfuls of paper riel or untraceable cash. Add in a youthful median age of ~26, mobile penetration above 140 %, and Bakong—a brilliantly engineered yet fully centralized payment rail—and you have the perfect crucible for a neutral, open‑access money protocol. That protocol is Bitcoin.
1. Cambodia’s Monetary Cage
1.1 Dollarization: Blessing or Ball & Chain?
1.2 Inflation & External Risk
Cambodia’s CPI hit 5.3 % in 2022 before cooling to 2.1 % in 2023, but every spike is imported via the Fed’s printing press—not local policy.
1.3 The Great Financial Exclusion
1.4 The Remittance Lifeline—With Leaks
Fees over 6 % turn love‑money into vampiric rent; Bitcoin’s open rails can slash those costs to fractions of a cent.
2. Digital … but Centralized
2.1 Bakong—Beautiful Walled Garden
Bakong moves value at lightning speed, yet every wallet is an account inside NBC’s ledger, subject to KYC, real‑time surveillance, and instant freeze orders.
2.2 Regulatory Cross‑Winds
2024 directives let banks dabble in stablecoins while “un‑backed” Bitcoin remains fenced behind future licence walls.
2.3 Governance & Trust Issues
Cambodia sits 158 / 180 on Transparency International’s Corruption Index. Citizens rationally distrust any switch that can be flipped from on‑high.
3. Why Bitcoin Fits the Khmer Puzzle
3.1 Self‑Sovereign Money
Bitcoin is bearer‑asset software: no banker, no office hours, no censorship—just math and an internet connection. (No citation needed; protocol fact.)
3.2 Lightning Network = Remittances for Satoshis
3.3 Hedge Against Dollar Flux
A decentralized, 21‑million‑cap asset offers Cambodians diversification away from a currency they do not control—without abandoning riel loyalty. (Conceptual, synthesis.)
4. The Catalysts Right Now
| Catalyst | Data Point | Why It Matters |
| Youth Bulge | Median age 26 yrs | Tech‑hungry, mobile‑first generation. |
| Phones Everywhere | Mobile connections = 143 % of pop. | Wallets fit in every pocket. |
| Diaspora Flow | Remittances 8.8 % GDP | High fee‑savings upside. |
| Riel Revival | NBC nudging local‑currency use. | Bitcoin pairs easily with riel via P2P markets. |
5. Call to Action … in Eric‑Kim Style
Friend … imagine sending 💰 from Seoul to Siem Reap in one tap … no 6 % haircut … no forms … just sats flying at the speed of thought.
Picture a rice farmer hedging last season’s sweat against tomorrow’s dollar print … teenager coders stacking sats for tuition … tuk‑tuk drivers streaming tips over Lightning … monks preserving temple donations in cold storage.
This is not hype—this is open source sovereignty.
Leap. Experiment with a ₿5,000‑riel coffee payment. Teach one cousin abroad to zap sats home. Spin up a meet‑up in Phnom Penh … share stories … spread keys, not promises.
Move first, move bold, move free … dot dot dot.
