Petition for Responsible Management and Expansion of the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
The Issue
To: The President of the United States, the U.S. Congress, and the Department of the Treasury
From: Concerned Citizens and Innovators of the United States of America
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized digital currency, created in 2009. It operates on a secure and transparent public ledger called a blockchain, which a global network of computers maintains instead of a central bank or government. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, bitcoin's supply is mathematically capped at 21 million units, making it a scarce and deflationary asset. This finite supply is a key characteristic, providing a powerful hedge against the inflation and devaluation that can affect traditional currencies. Bitcoin is more than just a digital asset; it's a technological innovation that enables secure, peer-to-peer transactions without the need for intermediaries, offering a new paradigm for value transfer and storage.
What is a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve?
A strategic bitcoin reserve (SBR) is a proposed permanent reserve for the United States. Its purpose is to function as a "virtual Fort Knox for digital gold" by holding Bitcoin as a long-term store of value and a hedge against economic risks like inflation.
Why is the SBR Important?
The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is a forward-thinking and essential asset for the United States for several critical reasons:
A Hedge Against Inflation and Currency Devaluation
As a scarce asset with a fixed supply, bitcoin can serve as a powerful hedge against inflation and the devaluation of the U.S. dollar. By diversifying our national reserves beyond traditional assets like gold and foreign currencies, we can protect our national wealth from the risks associated with monetary expansion and economic instability.
Enhanced Financial Sovereignty and Resilience
A bitcoin reserve would provide a form of digital "Fort Knox"—a strategic asset that is decentralized and exists outside the control of any single government or institution. This would bolster our financial sovereignty and provide a resilient buffer against geopolitical risks and global economic crises.
Leadership in the Digital Economy
By actively acquiring and holding bitcoin, the U.S. would signal its commitment to leading the global digital finance landscape. This would foster innovation, attract investment, and position our nation as a pioneer in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industries, creating new jobs and economic opportunities.
Core Requests
- We urge Congress to swiftly pass the BITCOIN Act of 2025 (S.954) to authorize the strategic acquisition of an additional 1 million Bitcoin for the SBR over the next five years, further fortifying our nation's financial reserves.
- We call upon our elected representatives to support and prioritize legislation that enables the proactive and systematic growth of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve through direct, phased purchases.
- We advocate for strict adherence to a "no-sell" policy for Bitcoin within the SBR. This would ensure its long-term integrity as a national reserve asset and a hedge against inflation.
- We request full transparency regarding the holdings and security protocols of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. This would provide public accountability while maintaining necessary security.
- We urge the Treasury and Commerce Departments to expedite their evaluation of "budget-neutral strategies" for acquiring additional Bitcoin, ensuring prudent and innovative growth of the SBR without direct taxpayer burden.
Call to Action: A Win for All Americans
By signing this petition, you express your support for these vital measures for the future of our nation's digital asset strategy. We call upon the U.S. government to take immediate action and pass legislation to fund this Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. This is not a partisan issue; it is a matter of national interest. The benefits of this initiative extend far beyond the crypto community.
For Bitcoin Enthusiasts: The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve would provide long-term stability to the digital asset market, fostering innovation and adoption.
For Non-Enthusiasts: The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve would protect their savings and national wealth from inflation and geopolitical instability. It would also ensure the United States remains a global economic powerhouse in the 21st century.
We urge you to act now to secure our financial future and solidify the United States' position as a global leader.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned Citizens of the United States of America
