Simon Dixon, a cryptocurrency investor and influencer, has proposed a "fallback" strategy involving Bitcoin strategic reserves and stablecoins before any restructuring of institutional frameworks. Dixon made this statement in a February 16 post on the social media platform X.
"A fallback strategy with Bitcoin strategic reserves & stablecoins needs to be in place first," said Dixon, crypto investor and influencer.
According to CryptoSlate, the Trump administration's crypto working group is currently evaluating the creation of a U.S. Bitcoin reserve and developing a regulatory framework for stablecoins and digital assets. This group, led by David Sacks, is collaborating with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to clarify oversight responsibilities. The Clarity for Payment Stablecoins Act of 2024 proposes regulations for stablecoin issuance and reserve requirements. Additionally, the SEC has launched a crypto task force, headed by Commissioner Hester Peirce, to address regulatory issues related to digital assets.

Bitcoin is often regarded as a decentralized and secure digital asset, positioned as an alternative to traditional monetary systems. Trust Machines reports 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 enhance scalability while maintaining its decentralized structure.
Dixon, CEO and co-founder of BnkToTheFuture.com, has been a vocal figure in both cryptocurrency and global financial discourse. Beyond his work in fintech, he has commented on geopolitical issues, recently claiming that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled Israel’s actions as "completely illegal" and determined there was "plausible genocide"—a misinterpretation of the court's actual findings. According to BBC reporting, the ICJ's January 2024 ruling did not determine that genocide was plausible but rather that Palestinians have a "plausible right" to protection under the Genocide Convention, with South Africa having legal standing to bring the case. Dixon, who authored Bank to the Future—the first published book to mention Bitcoin—has built a reputation in the crypto space, leading investments in major exchanges like Kraken, Coinbase, and Bitstamp.
