The mining company stressed the portability and verifiability of BTC at the expense of the use of gold. A strategic reserve in BTC «would reinforce the country's financial sovereignty,» according to Mara. Finally, Donald Trump announced the creation of a strategic reserve in cryptoactive. After that statement of the President, Mara Digital Holdings (Mara), the largest BTC mining company in the world for capitalization, highlighted its support for that initiative. In principle Trump had not mentioned his statement to Bitcoin (BTC) Ether (ETH), noting that this strategic reserve would include the Sun cryptocurrencies (Solana), Ada (Cardano) and XRP of Ripple. Subsequently, as Cryptonoticia reported, the president added both Ethereum to BTC and native token. In a publication on his X account of March 2, 2025, Mara recalled a statement written last November. There, the announcement explains that a national reserve in Bitcoin would consolidate the bases for the United States advance in the accumulation of BTC as a reserve resource and deepen your leadership in the BTC mining sector.

«US legislators should recognize Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining as critical components of the nation's financial and geopolitical strategy.» Mara statement.

Mara underlines Bitcoin's qualities over gold

Mara points out that Bitcoin has become a strategic good due to its inherent features. In the disseminated text, the company underlines its “fixed and finite offer”, backed by a decentralized monetary policy that guarantees cryptocurrency scarcity. To illustrate this point, Mara contrasts the physical and auditably complex nature of gold with the digital nature of Bitcoin, which provides the possibility of transferring value efficiently and verifiable. When describing the attributes of Bitcoin, the company directly compares divisibility, portability and ease of audit of the currency created by Nakamoto at the expense of gold. While the latter is responsible for moving and is complex to audit with precision, BTC can circulate throughout the world through its decentralized network, expanding its possibilities of use as a refuge of value and exchange. According to Mara, as well as the golden tenure is considered a security factor in the national economy, analogously, accumulate a strategic Bitcoin reserve would grant the country a similar tool, but adapted to current needs.

The weakness of the US dollar, an opportunity for Bitcoin

Another axes of Mara's argument is the concern about the «significant global tendency to get away from the dollar.» This process, reinforced by geopolitical tensions, would threaten weakens the status of the dollar as international reserve currency. In turn, it hinders the United States's ability to finance its growing debt and could cause global instability. Given this possible scenario, acquiring Bitcoin would help to safeguard confidence in the US economy, details Mara's announcement. If confidence in the dollar decreases, the country would lose one of its main mechanisms of economic strength: the ability to issue debt in the same currency that functions as an international standard. Mara warns that, without a clear strategy regarding Bitcoin, this process could be accelerated.

«A Bitcoin reservation will serve as an additional backup mechanism for when there are doubts about the value of the dollar.» Mara statement.

Bitcoin to protect the national economy and security

Following the reasoning of Mara, the adoption of a state reserve of Bitcoin would not only help strengthen the position of the United States as an economic power, but also would also provide greater financial independence against potential international conflicts or tensions. At present, USA 19,000 million dollars. According to the letter released by Mara, some rival countries, such as China, already hold a high number of bitcoins (approximately 190,000), a situation that alerts, as published by Mara, about the need to accelerate accumulation. In the same way that gold reserves serve as support when confidence in the dollar could diminish, the possession of a “reserve of one million bitcoin in the next five years” would ensure, at the discretion of the company, the ability to Transaction without restrictions, thus reinforcing the country's monetary sovereignty.
