Trump’s Crypto Crusade: Bitcoin, Bananas, and Beating China πŸ€‘

Ah, the inimitable Donald Trump, that paragon of subtlety and nuance, has declared his intention to metamorphose the United States into a β€˜Bitcoin superpower.’ 🌟 How quaint! The man who once mistook a wind turbine for a national security threat now fancies himself the maestro of the crypto symphony. He believes, with all the conviction of a cat chasing a laser pointer, that this is the key to outshining China and other nations. 🌍✨

  • The erstwhile President, with a flourish of his golden quill, vows to elevate the United States to the zenith of crypto glory, lest China or any other upstart nation dare to usurp the throne. πŸ‘‘
  • As of November 6th, the U.S. boasts a treasure trove of 326,588 BTC, a sum so modest it could barely buy a single Van Gogh, yet it crowns them the largest government holder of Bitcoin. πŸŽ¨πŸ’°

At the America Business Forum in Miami, Florida-a locale as gaudy as his ties-Trump exhorted the assembled titans of industry and the plebeians alike to embrace crypto, particularly Bitcoin. 🌴 He waxed lyrical about its potential to alleviate the burden on the U.S. dollar, as though it were a panacea for all economic ills. β€œWe’re making the United States the Bitcoin superpower, the crypto capital of the world,” he proclaimed, with the gravitas of a man who once sold steaks. πŸ₯©

Not content with this grandiose vision, Trump also declared the U.S. the β€œundisputed leader in artificial intelligence,” a claim as tenuous as his grasp of geography. 🌐

Ever the dramatist, Trump invoked the specter of China, that perennial bogeyman, warning that if the U.S. does not dominate crypto, China will. β€œThey’re starting it, but they want to do it. Other countries want to do it. If we don’t do it properly, it’s a big industry,” he intoned, with all the urgency of a soap opera cliffhanger. 🎭

China, once the crypto Grinch, has softened its stance, perhaps realizing that stablecoins are the new black. Experts, ever the Cassandras, urge China to collaborate with Hong Kong to issue yuan-backed stablecoins, a move as likely to topple the U.S. dollar as a kitten is to topple a skyscraper. 🐱

JPMorgan analysts, those soothsayers of finance, predict that stablecoin adoption could generate $1.4 trillion in demand for the U.S. dollar by 2027. πŸ€‘

Trump, ever the revisionist, lauded his administration for rescuing crypto from the clutches of the Biden regime, whose regulators were as crypto-friendly as a vampire at a garlic festival. πŸ§„ β€œCrypto was under siege. It’s not under siege anymore,” he declared, referencing his executive orders that established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. πŸ“œ

How much Bitcoin does the U.S. hold?

At present, the U.S. reigns supreme as the largest government holder of BTC, with a hoard of 326,588 BTC, or $33.69 billion. This treasure, amassed from the spoils of criminal forfeitures, represents a mere 1.55% of the total BTC supply. πŸ›οΈ

China, the runner-up, holds 190,000 BTC, also acquired through the noble art of confiscation. πŸ₯ˆ

U.S. BTC Holdings

The U.S. also leads in the number of BTC-holding entities, with 123 companies stockpiling the digital gold. The top three-Strategy, MARA Holdings, and XXI-are all American, naturally. Canada and the U.K. trail behind, with 43 and 23 companies respectively. πŸ†

Despite this, the U.S. dollar remains the undisputed king of the stablecoin market, commanding over 90% of the total market cap. πŸ‘‘
