Galaxy Digital Head of Research: The United States is very likely to establish a strategic bitcoin reserve within this year

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Alex Thorn, Head of Research at Galaxy Digital, stated that the U.S. government is very likely to announce the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) this year and officially hold BTC as a strategic asset. The market is "underestimating" the likelihood of the U.S. forming a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve this year.

However, other industry executives are less confident. Dave Weisburger, former chairman of CoinRoutes, said that this is more likely to happen in 2026. "This administration is very smart and will not announce anything before accumulating the initial target."
