The White House announced a strategic goal to hold 5% of all Bitcoin in circulation, representing over 1 million BTC, as part of the United States’ official reserves. This marks a significant shift in government policy toward digital assets, with the move being interpreted by prediction markets as a bullish catalyst for prices by May 2026.
Markets now show a 43.5% probability of Bitcoin reaching $115,000 by late May, up sharply from previous levels. Analysts view the reserve plan as a signal of increased institutional demand, aligning with the strategies of major financial players like BlackRock and Fidelity.
Key figures including Michael Saylor and Kevin Warsh are expected to provide further commentary. The announcement underscores Bitcoin’s evolving role as a strategic asset, comparable to gold, in the eyes of the US government.
