Anthony Scaramucci Advocates for U.S. Bitcoin Reserve Amid Market Volatility
The SkyBridge Capital founder highlights Bitcoin's strategic value as Trump administration formalizes a national cryptocurrency reserve.
- Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, has called Bitcoin a 'digital store of value' and urged the U.S. to include it in its strategic reserves.
- The Trump administration recently signed an executive order establishing a Bitcoin reserve, positioning the cryptocurrency as 'digital gold' with a fixed supply of 21 million coins.
- Scaramucci credited White House crypto czar David Sacks for fostering bipartisan support for the initiative, likening Bitcoin to traditional reserve assets like gold and oil.
- Bitcoin's market value has dropped nearly 26% from its January peak of $109,000, with current trading around $78,000, influenced by market skepticism and external factors such as North Korean cyberattacks.
- Despite the volatility, Scaramucci remains optimistic, predicting Bitcoin could reach $200,000 by year-end as regulatory clarity and institutional adoption grow.
