As we can see from the clip above, the reporter asks if Bitcoin (BTC) can be made into a reserve currency for the United States of America. To this the response is that this is certainly a possible move, but can be a challenging one.
At the moment, the US Justice department holds about 200,000 BTC making the USA the largest BTC holding nation, according to this clip. Thus, these funds could easily be moved to the US Treasury and add $13 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC) on the balance sheet which will start to make Bitcoin (BTC) a reserve currency for the country.
Adding on, the video states that the Justice department so far has been a random seller and a random buyer which pushes the price of BTC up and down. No doubt the entity has been a long-time HODLer supporting the price of BTC.
So far, both leading candidates, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald J. Trump are very pro-Bitcoin and pro-crypto. This means that if either candidate takes the win, the future of Bitcoin and crypto standing in the USA will rise exponentially.
