- Congratulations to the relentless #Bitcoin community. The election and the country would have been lost without you. You changed history. When Trump establishes the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, game theory accelerates. No one is bullish enough on #Bitcoin.
US government has just become the single biggest sovereign holder of #Bitcoin over night.
Holds 208k $BTC (~1% of the supply).
Goal is to hold 1 mn BTC (~5% of supply) and hold it for 20 years. h/t @SenLummis
You are not even remotely bullish enough. https://t.co/cJHQqztGUc pic.twitter.com/ld4pkXCXT2
