Simon Dixon, a cryptocurrency investor and influencer, said that the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is focused on "saving America," rather than saving Bitcoin itself. He emphasized that Bitcoin does not require a reserve, but the United States does. Dixon made this statement in a January 19 post on X.
"Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is about saving America, NOT saving Bitcoin," said Dixon, crypto investor and influencer. "Bitcoin does not need a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the US needs a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve."
According to Forbes, by 2025, Bitcoin is emerging as a geopolitical asset with discussions among governments and central banks worldwide regarding its role in national reserves. Under President-elect Donald Trump's administration, there are considerations for Bitcoin to be used as a strategic reserve asset. Proposals for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve aim to enhance economic stability and provide a hedge against inflation. Supporters like Senator Cynthia Lummis argue that Bitcoin's finite supply makes it an ideal candidate for national reserves.

President Trump has committed to transforming the United States into the "crypto capital of the planet" by implementing supportive policies and establishing a national Bitcoin reserve. He declared, "Instead of attacking industries of the future, we will embrace them, including making America the world capital of crypto and Bitcoin." According to Cointelegraph, this marks a shift from previous regulatory strategies toward promoting innovation and establishing U.S. leadership in the cryptocurrency sector.
Bitcoin is widely recognized as a decentralized and secure digital asset, often viewed as an alternative to traditional monetary systems. Trust Machines reported that Bitcoin prioritizes security and decentralization through its Proof of Work consensus mechanism and write-only ledger. The network employs Layer 2 protocols such as Lightning to support scalability while maintaining its decentralized structure.
Dixon has invested in over 100 cryptocurrency companies, including Kraken and Coinbase. He creates crypto content on X and YouTube and serves as CEO and co-founder of BnkToTheFuture, a regulated crypto securities business.
