Bitcoin remains a focal point in financial and political discussions as the White House Crypto Summit approaches. Market speculation is growing over whether the US government will announce a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, a move that could reshape digital asset policies. Meanwhile, concerns about new tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico have added to market volatility, causing fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin, currently at $88,000.
David Sacks denounces the United States for losing billions in Bitcoin sales
Investor and entrepreneur David Sacks has reignited the debate over government holdings of Bitcoin, highlighting a $17 billion missed opportunity.
Over the last decade, the US government sold 195,000 Bitcoin for just $366 million. Had these holdings been held, their value would now exceed $17 billion. Sacks argues that this reflects a lack of long-term vision, reinforcing the need for a revised national Bitcoin strategy that views digital assets as a store of value rather than a short-term source of income.
Marathon Digital Boosts Bitcoin Dominance in the US
Ahead of the White House Crypto Summit on March 7, Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA), the world’s largest publicly traded Bitcoin miner, has unveiled a six-point Bitcoin policy framework calling on the United States to solidify its leadership in the digital asset space.
Marathon recommendations include:
-
Creating a Bitcoin Reserve in the USA to strengthen economic stability
-
Expanding Domestic Bitcoin Mining Operations to maintain global influence
-
Control mining power (hashrate) within the US to avoid foreign domination
-
Invest in homegrown Bitcoin mining technology to reduce dependence on imports
-
Develop regulatory clarity that encourages Bitcoin adoption
-
Take an active role in shaping international Bitcoin policies
Marathon argues that without decisive action, the United States risks losing its competitive advantage in financial technology, national security, and economic resilience.
BlackRock warns there is not enough Bitcoin for every millionaire
The world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, has highlighted Bitcoin’s scarcity as a defining factor in its long-term value. Analysts emphasize that with only 3 to 4 million Bitcoin readily accessible, there is simply not enough for every American millionaire to own even a single coin.
Unlike gold, Bitcoin’s supply is capped at 21 million coins, making it one of the scarcest financial assets in existence. BlackRock’s stance suggests that institutional interest in Bitcoin is still in its early stages, and demand is likely to increase as availability dwindles.

For now, Bitcoin is still hovering around $88,000, but a major policy decision could mark a turning point in how the United States approaches digital assets.
