Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has proposed a comprehensive plan to make Bitcoin a strategic reserve asset for the United States if he is elected president. His plan centers on integrating Bitcoin into the financial system to enhance economic stability and ensure financial freedom. Here are the key components of his proposal:Bitcoin as a Strategic Reserve: Kennedy intends to direct the U.S. Treasury to purchase 550 Bitcoin daily until the U.S. amasses a reserve of 4 million Bitcoin. This would represent about 20% of the total supply and position the U.S. as a major holder of Bitcoin. He also plans to transfer approximately 200,000 Bitcoin currently held by the government to the Treasury, designating it as a strategic asset. Backing the Dollar with Bitcoin and Other Hard Assets: Kennedy's vision includes backing U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds with tangible assets like Bitcoin, gold, silver, and platinum. He believes this would restore strength to the dollar, curb inflation, and bring about financial stability. Initially, he proposes starting with 1% of issued T-bills backed by these hard assets, with potential increases based on the plan’s success. Tax Exemptions for Bitcoin Transactions: To spur investment and innovation, Kennedy plans to make Bitcoin-to-dollar transactions exempt from capital gains taxes. This measure aims to attract businesses and investors to the U.S. and prevent them from relocating to other crypto-friendly countries. Financial Freedom and Anti-Corruption: Kennedy emphasizes the importance of financial freedom, likening transactional freedom to freedom of expression. He believes that Bitcoin can serve as a hedge against the corruption and economic instability caused by fiat currencies and centralized financial systems. Appointment of a Crypto Advisor: Kennedy also plans to appoint a national security advisor focused on cryptocurrency, recognizing the potential of Bitcoin and other digital assets to enhance U.S. economic and cybersecurity. 'Kennedy’s approach contrasts with traditional monetary policies and reflects his belief in Bitcoin’s potential to revolutionize the financial system and provide a more stable and transparent economic future​' (CryptoSlate)​​ (EconoTimes)​​ (Cointelegraph)​​ (BeInCrypto)​.

Strategic Reserve Asset - Bitcoin (RFKs Plan)

Donald Trump's plan to make Bitcoin a strategic reserve asset (SRA) if re-elected focuses on positioning the United States as a leader in the cryptocurrency space. Trump announced this plan during his speech at the 2024 Bitcoin Conference, emphasizing his intention to maintain all Bitcoin currently held by the U.S. government as an (SRA). This would serve as the foundation of a national Bitcoin stockpile aimed at bolstering the legitimacy and value of Bitcoin globally.Key components of Trump's plan include:Retaining Government Bitcoin Holdings: Trump proposed that the U.S. retain 100% of its Bitcoin holdings, positioning it as a strategic reserve asset. Crypto-Friendly Policies: He pledged to end what he described as the current administration’s "anti-crypto" stance, specifically targeting regulations he sees as restrictive. Appointing a Pro-Crypto SEC Chair: Trump plans to replace the current SEC Chair with someone more supportive of cryptocurrency and blockchain innovation. Establishing a Presidential Crypto Advisor: This role would oversee the integration and promotion of cryptocurrencies within the U.S. financial system. 'Encouraging Bitcoin Mining: Trump aims to make the U.S. a dominant player in Bitcoin mining, preventing other nations, particularly China, from taking the lead in this sector'​ (Crypto Briefing)​​ (BlockNews.com - CRYPTO NFT NEWS)​. Trump’s pro-crypto stance marks a significant shift from his previous skepticism about digital currencies. His proposed policies aim to boost investor confidence in Bitcoin and integrate it more deeply into the U.S. economy, potentially driving its adoption and value upward.

Strategic Reserve Asset - Bitcoin (Trumps plan)

Day 2 started out with larger crowds. The Festival Pass goers were allowed in the doors and the lines for them to enter the Nakamoto main stage where Trump, Kennedy and Michael Saylor are speaking were quite long. Wrapping around the building into the exhibit hall there were literally thousands waiting to get in. This was likely due to only a few metal detectors manned by a mix of Secret Service and general security personnel.Located in the Exhibit hall was the Genesis Stage where I sat in on my days first session. 0900 - Founders on a Lightning Standard - Marketing 3 guests prodded by a moderator discussed a variety of topics that centered toward on-ramps for Bitcoin. Desiree Dickson from a gaming company spoke about embedding it in their gaming platform and the challenges to adoption they face with users using it for payment. Roy Sheinfeld, a developer, spoke about the Samurai mixer service trial in the United States and espoused the injustices of it. Evan Kaloudis chimed in to discuss some of the problems with the tax system in the United States tucking Crypto under capital gains making adoption even more challenging.<figure id="figure-c48yuuoqoolz30zurb"><img id="c48yuuoqoolz30zurb" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/2aKZN3aE78mDpMVSAxF23KDbKBh6Kged1wQhMWePBr6bEwSvMnjHcWKMfF8VvAnw.jpg" alt="Businessmen investor think before buying stock market investment using smartphone to analyze trading data. investor analysis with stock exchange graph on screen.

Knowing nothing about power companies or Crypto mining operations I sat in on the discussion with Austin Mitchel (Synota), Kent Draper (Tren), Kerri Langlais (Terawulf) and Mario Gutierrez (Giga Energy). The discussion brought up several interesting points I’d never considered about the positive and negative affects of bitcoin mining on power generation…..Crypto mining power loads are treated differently than others by regulatory agencies. It was inferred they would be charged more than a company who might be performing technically similar functions with similar equipment such as a company doing AI.British Columbia put in a moratorium on crypto connections to their grid because of reported power constraints it caused.Bitcoin mining can foster the intersection of big tech with big energy and is doing so in Pennsylvania at Nautili’s crypto mine that is connected to a Nuclear power plant and employs 1600 employees operating the plant each day.The panels consensus was the grid of tomorrow provides a generational opportunity for abundant energy through decentralization of power production.<figure id="figure-pwh2am0fuelz3cq26q" class=""><img id="pwh2am0fuelz3cq26q" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/39jkUCN4ApRscQ38MozZJySp3UuK0bCgN0gJsR2aEQ2kFvouNaohm50gsOoTMXw0.jpg" alt="Young woman working at night modern office loft.Red and green candlestick chart and stock trading on background.

This stage was located in the VIP section restricted to Industry and Whale pass holders. It’s because of this I suspect the crowds were much smaller. Some helpful points that came out of the discussion included….Prior guidance by FASB didn’t reflect the true value of Bitcoin but Fair value regulation fixed this by simplifying the accounting, according to Brian Carson.SAB121 legislation has an impact on custodians and was considered bad by the group because it requires any company touching customers funds to provide disclosure and reporting. It was further mentioned that the SEC came out with these rules after soliciting no feedback which is unusual. As a result this has seemingly unified much of the US Congress.<figure id="figure-xnkfu83ppmlz428xtz"><img id="xnkfu83ppmlz428xtz" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/161Cx4m1FKMO63BfERYvKW5dqt8bEIOmAHrxlY0c9bMxSpBjlqtb9ykMag7cL7VK.jpg" alt="Woman is checking Bitcoin price chart on digital exchange on smartphone, cryptocurrency future price action prediction." title="Woman is checking Bitcoin price chart on digital exchange on smartphone, cryptocurrency future price action prediction." class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/161Cx4m1FKMO63BfERYvKW5dqt8bEIOmAHrxlY0c9bMxSpBjlqtb9ykMag7cL7VK.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>

Candlestick chart and data of financial market.

1130 - Enterprise StageA panel of investors discussed Bitcoin investing and professional money's observations about the market. In the audience were several VCs and hedge fund types diligently taking notes from the panel - Greg Carson (Humla Ventures), Asher Carson (Unbroken Chain Fund), Matthew Siegel (Vaneck), Namcios (UTXO Management). Listed below are some brief snippets on things a deeper dive may be of use to those interested.....'Gold ETFs own less than 1 percent of the supply' which was a veiled reference to the volume of BTC owned by ETFs. Unfortunately I didn't catch the percent ETFs have under management but suspect its near 5% based on volumes found during a google search.The CEO of VANECK has put 35% of his personal wealth into BTC.The panel believes layer 2 and opcat &nbsp;aren't priced into BTC yet. Translated- the market has recognized the utility and impact BTC will have.BTC Miners listed on major exchanges control 30% of the market.Innovation is needed to keep feeding the miners so they will stay and keep the network secure and viable.Vaneck noted that Miners are taking on less debt as of late but didn't allude to this being either good or bad.<figure id="figure-3yiqlgzqidlz43uas8"><img id="3yiqlgzqidlz43uas8" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/27gVgp4SlTdLUyvpaxdXUWM9UsDIpv6Xa2ziIgvOdZNEFJVUyJHaCB0Kts0e8mfp.jpg" alt="AI-Enhanced Social Networking" title="AI-Enhanced Social Networking" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure>
