US Crypto Framework with Bitcoin Reserve [Source][Source][Source]

Michael Saylor, the founder of MicroStrategy, has proposed a bold Digital Assets Framework for the United States, which includes a strategic Bitcoin reserve.

According to Saylor, this initiative could generate $81 trillion for the US Treasury, bolster the dollar, and reduce national debt.

Under his proposal, the framework would categorize digital assets into six groups, including Bitcoin, securities, and tokens, and establish clear compliance roles while minimizing costs.

Critics like Peter Schiff, however, dismissed the plan, claiming it would harm the dollar and increase debt.
