Day 2 at The Venetian in Las Vegas is producing the policy and market headlines that will drive crypto conversations for the next month. Two statements from the stage deserve full attention.
Michael Saylor: Strategy will hold 1% of all Bitcoin ever mined by year-end.
Strategy currently holds 815,061 BTC — approximately 3.88% of the maximum 21 million supply. Saylor's "1%" target sounds small until you do the math: 1% of 21 million is 210,000 BTC. Strategy already holds nearly four times that. What Saylor almost certainly means is 1% of all Bitcoin that has ever been mined to date — which at current mining rates is approximately 19.8 million coins. 1% of that is 198,000 BTC.
Either way, the number communicates one thing clearly: Strategy has no intention of stopping. At last week's pace of 34,164 BTC purchased in seven days, they are acquiring at four times the rate needed to maintain their current percentage of supply. The company is competing with the US government for the same scarce asset.
Institutional inflows are absorbing supply at nine times the mining rate, and with Strategy's pace alone representing a significant fraction of that, the structural demand story has never been clearer. CoinDesk
Senator Lummis: The Bitcoin Reserve Act will pass the full Senate before June 2026.
This is the boldest policy timeline anyone has committed to publicly. The Bitcoin Reserve Act calls for the US Treasury to purchase 200,000 BTC per year for five years — reaching 1 million BTC total — funded by revaluing the Federal Reserve's gold certificates from their book value of $42.22/oz to near market value (~$3,200/oz). The paper gain from that revaluation — approximately $700 billion — would fund purchases without Congressional appropriations.
If Lummis's June timeline holds, here's what it means in practice: the US government would become the single largest sovereign Bitcoin buyer in the world, purchasing at an annualized rate roughly equivalent to 444% of the entire network's daily mining output. Private holders like Strategy would be competing not just with each other, but with the US Treasury.
The combined implication of both announcements: two of the most aggressive Bitcoin buyers in the world — one corporate, one governmental — are both in Las Vegas this week, both committing to accelerated accumulation timelines, both at a conference where institutional attendance is at all-time highs.
The broader market remains optimistic, with bitcoin appearing to have broken out of a two-month range to the upside. It had languished between $63,000 and $75,000 since early February, and the combination of institutional demand and policy tailwinds is providing the most constructive fundamental backdrop since the January 2025 ETF era.
If both Saylor and Lummis deliver on what they said today, the supply available on the open market — already at 7-year lows on exchanges — gets even tighter. And price follows supply.

The push to make Bitcoin a cornerstone of the U.S. financial system just leveled up. Representative Begich (AK) has officially moved to revive the historic Strategic Bitcoin Reserve legislation, now folded into a broader legislative push to codify digital asset dominance.
📝 The New Strategy: "Mined in America"
While the original proposal was known as the BITCOIN Act, the newest iteration is gaining traction as part of the Mined in America Act. This revamped bill aims to do more than just hold BTC—it’s designed to create a "virtuous cycle" for the U.S. economy.
Key Highlights of the Bill:
The 1 Million BTC Goal: Maintains the ambitious target for the U.S. Treasury to acquire 1,000,000 BTC over five years.
Codifying Executive Orders: Formally turns President Trump’s executive actions on crypto into permanent federal law.
"Mined in America" Certification: Directs the Dept. of Commerce to create a voluntary certification for U.S.-based mining facilities.
National Debt Hedge: Aims to utilize Bitcoin’s long-term appreciation to offset the national debt and strengthen the Dollar.
🚀 Why This Matters for the Market
This isn't just about "buying the dip" at a nation-state level. By rebranding the bill to focus on domestic manufacturing and energy infrastructure, lawmakers are positioning Bitcoin as a matter of National Security.
If passed, this would legally mandate the U.S. government to become one of the largest "HODLers" in existence, potentially triggering a "Space Race" for Bitcoin among other global powers.
What do you think? Will the "Mined in America" angle be the key to finally getting this through the Senate, or is it still a long shot?

Bitcoin may ‘pump then rotate back’ if US strategic reserve gets approved
A crypto analyst warns that Bitcoin’s price could face volatility if the highly anticipated United States Bitcoin Strategic Reserve bill gets passed.
A crypto analyst has warned that if approved, Senator Lummis’ proposal for the United States government to acquire 5% of Bitcoin’s supply could cause increased price volatility in the short term.
“I expect it to be pretty volatile, especially if the strategic Bitcoin reserve gets approved; I think Bitcoin will pump then probably rotate back,” Collective Shift founder and CEO Ben Simpson told Cointelegraph.
Bitcoin dominance will “start to fall”
Cointelegraph recently reported that after Trump’s winning the presidential election on Nov. 5, Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis — a Trump supporter, Republican and crypto advocate — said she would move forward with legislation for the US government to buy 1 million Bitcoin BTC $101,722 and hold it for at least 20 years.
As for the current market state, Simpson believes that Bitcoin dominance — a measure of how much of the crypto market’s total value belongs to BTC — will “start to fall” and the “rotation” into altcoins has “actually begun” after Bitcoin started consolidating “around $100,000” and altcoins started “to climb.”
At the time of publication, Bitcoin dominance is 56.63%, down 7.20% over the past 30 days, according to TradingView data.
Crypto trader Momin told their 140,000 X followers on Dec. 13 that they “expect this downtrend in dominance to continue and possibly see alts run pretty hard in the coming week.”
However, Simpson believes transitioning into altcoin season won’t be so straightforward.
“I think it will be pretty volatile; I don’t think it will be straight into altcoin season,” he added.
Bitcoin will continue to be “part of the portfolio” for institutions
Meanwhile, Bitfinex analysts told Cointelegraph that based on returns, many altcoins have not yet breached new all-time highs in terms of their return against Bitcoin, “hence proving that Bitcoin had always been a fruitful and competitive investment, even when compared against Altcoins.”
“We believe that even post any pull back, Bitcoin will continue to be part of the portfolio of major institutions and that interest in Bitcoin will continue to grow,” the analysts said.
Bitfinex analysts said that with Bitcoin now surpassing six figures, as long as it maintains strong demand, any upcoming dips will be short-term and possibly a buying opportunity for investors:
“At a price of 100K, there has continued to be sufficient spot buying to sustain this level, and currently, leverage levels are reasonable, so even if a dip occurs, which won’t be surprising during the holiday season, the price trend is healthy and shows reasonable strength in the market for any dip to be bought.”
“Believers in Bitcoin are also becoming more adamant about the asset being a perfect substitute for gold and a true store of value,” Bitfinex analysts added.
On Nov. 23, Cointelegraph reported that global investment manager VanEck had reissued its $180,000 price target for Bitcoin at the current cycle’s peak.
VanEck digital asset analysts Nathan Frankovitz and Matthew Sigel said the next phase of the crypto bull market is only “just beginning.”

The United States government is poised to liquidate a significant portion of its crypto holdings, which could amass an additional 5,000 $BTC . This development follows the recent establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve under President Donald Trump. The move has sparked widespread discussion across the crypto community, particularly regarding the newly unveiled U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile.
Trump’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Executive Order
Following Donald Trump’s signing of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Executive Order (EO), the newly appointed Crypto Czar, David Sacks, took to X (formerly Twitter) to clarify the details. Sacks emphasized that the federal government would not sell confiscated Bitcoin (BTC) but would instead establish a dedicated reserve. Moreover, the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile would include various seized digital assets obtained via civil or criminal forfeiture proceedings.
However, the inclusion of XRP (Ripple), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA) in Trump’s statement raised eyebrows, as these assets have never been publicly acknowledged as being in U.S. government custody. On-chain analytics reveal no confirmed government seizures of these assets, unlike Bitcoin, which has been frequently documented in such circumstances.
US Government’s Current Crypto Holdings
According to on-chain data, the U.S. government currently holds 198,000 BTC, valued at $16.26 billion. Additionally, federal agencies possess a substantial portfolio of digital assets, including:
60,850 ETH (Ethereum) – worth $122.96 million, which could be liquidated for 1,522.86 BTC.122 million USDT (Tether) – which could yield around 1,500 BTC if converted.750.722 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) – valued at $61.69 million, potentially convertible to native BTC.40,293 BNB (Binance Coin) – worth $22.34 million, which could be exchanged for 276.86 BTC.$13.62 million in BUSD – the retired stablecoin, redeemable for approximately 168.76 BTC.$13.40 million in AUSDC – exchangeable for 166.08 BTC.
Potential Liquidation Totals 5,004 BTC
Summing up all liquidatable assets, if the U.S. government converts its ETH, USDT, BNB, WBTC, and other stablecoins, it could secure approximately 5,004.55 BTC. This aligns with Trump’s broader strategy to bolster the government’s Bitcoin reserves, suggesting that these liquidations may contribute directly to the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve’s holdings.
What’s Next for the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile?
Trump’s Crypto Czar, David Sacks, previously hinted that certain digital assets might be reallocated into Bitcoin for better portfolio management. Given the unpredictable nature of crypto regulations in the U.S., the government’s next steps could significantly influence market trends.
Market participants remain watchful as federal agencies move forward with these high-value asset liquidations. The broader implications of this strategy will unfold in the coming months, especially as the 2024 presidential race intensifies and regulatory frameworks continue to evolve.
