I think making bitcoin a national reserve is different from making bitcoin an alternative currency/payment method. Governments are looking to use bitcoin as an asset class more like gold than a currency. Also, using bitcoin as a currency or payment method would be a very different matter as it could impact country's currency, unlike using it as a national reserve. And I don't think governments would like that.
Basically governments don't like Bitcoin and don't want to make it as their national reserves, because it affects their fiat currencies or CBDCs. It can be a snowball with small countries want to try like El Salvador, Bhutan, then several big countries want to try. After several years, the snowball starts with many countries and it becomes unstoppable, irreversible.

Not to mention, will people actually be interested and accept using bitcoin as a payment method? From what is going on, it is easy to see that most people just want to accumulate as much as possible and hope to get rich from it. No one wants to spend their bitcoins and many consider it a waste. I am not optimistic about the idea of ​​using bitcoin as an alternative payment method.
A payment method is only one of many use cases for Bitcoin. People can use Bitcoin with many use cases and they don't need to use their bitcoin in a same way. If they can access their bitcoin, make a transaction and there are miners to confirm it, there are many types of deal with Bitcoin as a middle mean to compete those deals financially.

The bullish case for Bitcoin is a book, with insightful information on Bitcoin, fundamentals to different bullish scenarios for it in future.

There is also this article about nations on their stance on it,



Whoever made that image should really consider swapping the colors used for the land and the ocean, because I was staring at that map for a few seconds trying to make sense of it and wondering why do all the countries look funny  Cheesy but it turned out I was just looking at oceans.

There's a long way to go though, I would agree that all eyes is on the Americans here. If Trump can make FED accept it, it will definitely have the domino effects on those aforementioned country and for sure most of them are going to accept it and see Bitcoin as a reserve and a hedge against inflation.

It's going to be send shockwaves if he does manage to do it and everyone's going to want to copy him.

You might also include Malaysia as well,

And I think countries like Malaysia and others in the South East Asia region will really benefited from making Bitcoin in their national reserves. So let's see who's next, we can only dream that our country will also think about it as this is the new order in the financial world and everyone doesn't want to be left behind.

I read the news that Oklahoma has declared strategic reserve bill for bitcoin. This is a great news for the future of bitcoin in terms of its adoption and mainstream use.

If the governments and the politicians running them are into bitcoin in this manner, in the next few months things can change drastically making bitcoin an extremely bullish sector.

Maybe in future the dream of being able to spend bitcoin seamlessly on POS machines on the local grocery stores and online e-commerce will finally be realized.

I hope that other countries follow suit as well.

Oklahoma, Texas, you name it. I also heard something about Florida.

Since SBR (Strategic Bitcoin Reserve) is a hot topic this Trump introduce this in his election campaign and him winning the election, there seems to be a lot of nations around the world who wanted to follow his strategy.

Although it has some resistance from the US FEDS itself, but there a lot of hype on it already.

And wit that I gathered some of the threads, I might have missed a couple though, so don't hesitate to comment here so that I can update the thread. And maybe later we can go back and strikeout which has succeeded already. As you can see, it's all over, from Africa to Europe to South America




Expect that many discussion about Bitcoin reserve will rise since to many people speculating about this situation and to many countries also state are now interested to implement it. Not that many of them got interest of Bitcoin then provably that this will lead to increase more demand for Bitcoin.

More country is interested with this idea now https://coindcx.com/blog/coindcx-news/global-momentum-countries-exploring-bitcoin-reserves-in-2025-15-january-2025/ and provably more to come.

Hopefully with this developments we can see Bitcoin to be used as alternative option to use to buy goods on those first world countries down to smaller ones.

Before nations and their governments do things from ideas for National Strategic Bitcoin Reserves to actually execute it, you can follow up some websites and get information about National Bitcoin Treasuries, that are different than Strategic Bitcoin Reserves because they can sell those seized bitcoins easily if they don't have plans for National Strategic Bitcoin Reserves.

I did not check all sites, but a following website has a specific page for Government Treasuries. In future, I believe there will be many websites for National Strategic Bitcoin Reserves.
Some world maps for Bitcoiners.

Maybe if US is going to print a lot of money, then who knows, those money might go on it's Bitcoin reserve.

So for now, it's really complex and it depends on the broader U.S. financial policy frameworks.

Most people only look at the positive side of these rumors and think about the dream scenario, forgetting one thing if this idea fails and cannot come true. That would be a huge blow to bitcoin and a dump would be inevitable. Everything about government and politicians is a double-edged sword, so let's lower our expectations when it comes to them.
Furthermore, we need to know that all these are just rumors or ideas of politicians. No formal proposal has been submitted to parliament for consideration, it is all just hype created by us.

I think it will be big news if ever the US or the Trump administration will get the Bitcoin Reserve rolling. Because I'm seeing that there are more countries who are just keeping a low key with regards to this plan of the US.

But if this is going to be approved, I'm seeing a lot of countries who are going to follow the lead of the US, it will be a avalanche of small countries who will get their hands on Bitcoin as their option for a national reserve.

Worth noting though that El Salvador is ahead of the game already. And so is Bhutan, although not directly making Bitcoin in their reserves, but them being one of the biggest in terms of mining, they have taken advantage of Bitcoin already.

Quote
In 2023, Bitcoin mining revenue from Bhutan’s Druk Holding and Investments was used to fund a 50% salary increase for public servants in the country, according to local media reports.
