🚨 Bitcoin's Biggest 2025 Letdown Revealed! 📉
The so-called "US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" is now widely considered a massive disappointment, and the story behind it is…well, a bit embarrassing.
Rewind to late 2024: Senator Lummis championed a plan to have the U.S. government buy $BTC to tackle national debt, fueling hopes of a $500,000 price target. The reality? The "reserve" simply meant not selling the 200,000 $BTC already seized – no new purchases were made. 🤯
It was a masterclass in ambiguity, leaving the crypto lobby, which invested heavily in pro-crypto politicians, feeling like they were shouting into the void. Senator Lummis herself won’t be seeking re-election in 2026.
Polymarket odds reflect this shift in sentiment. Initial optimism surged in early 2025, peaking at nearly 70% in March, only to plummet as the truth emerged. Now, bettors give it just a 28% chance of happening by the end of 2026. A harsh lesson learned: sometimes, a reserve is just a rebranding.
