[Galaxy Digital Head of Research: The U.S. May Establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve This Year] Galaxy Digital Head of Research Alex Thorn stated that the U.S. government might announce the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) this year, officially categorizing Bitcoin (BTC) as a strategic asset. He believes the market is underestimating this possibility. However, other industry figures remain cautious. Former CoinRoutes Chairman Dave Weisburger suggested that such a move is more likely to occur in 2026, noting that the current administration may remain discreet until reaching its initial accumulation target.
