Ark Investment founder Cathy Wood recently proposed a bold idea — the U.S. government might buy BTC in the near future and include it in the national strategic reserve. This is not a pipe dream but based on current political realities.

In the United States, the influence of the cryptocurrency industry is rapidly growing. Related investors, practitioners, and supporters have become an indispensable force in elections, and their voices are increasingly influential in political decision-making. Wood believes this holds significant strategic value for Trump and his policy agenda.

More importantly, as the regulatory framework gradually relaxes, cryptocurrencies are being gradually integrated into the mainstream U.S. financial system. This means that policymakers and institutional investors are quietly changing their attitudes toward digital assets. Once an edge industry, it is evolving into a key factor capable of influencing political and economic decisions. This shift could profoundly impact the direction of U.S. cryptocurrency policy in the coming years.
