for the first time, fueled by a significant uptrend since November

Blockstream CEO Adam Back, a long-time advocate for Bitcoin, has
suggested that if the US were to establish a strategic Bitcoin
reserve, investors should prepare for the possibility of
seven-figure Bitcoin prices in this market cycle. Back stated: if

through for now, so that is not at all priced in. Market expert
Anthony Pompliano highlighted that discussions around this
initiative are intensifying as pro-crypto Senator Cynthia Lummis
has introduced legislation to put the reserve into action, while
Trump has previously committed to utilizing the approximately
200,000 BTC already held by the US government. Bitcoin To
$150,000 In 2025? Despite these proposals, Pompliano argues that
they do not go far enough. He advocates for a more aggressive
approach, suggesting that the US should print $250 billion on the
first day of Trump’s presidency and invest the entire amount into
Bitcoin. Pompliano outlines that the proposed $250 billion
investment could purchase nearly 2.8 million BTC at the current
price. However, recognizing that the US government’s purchases
would likely influence market prices, he estimates the average
purchase price could rise to $150,000 per coin, resulting in the
acquisition of approximately 1.6 million BTC. Related
