If Trump is serious about a strategic $BTC reserve, why would he announce it now and cause sovereign FOMO?

Makes more sense to plan/set up mining facilities/accumulate in the background before announcing it.

Of course, an official SBR would require legislative change - but he's still able to move needles by manipulating what the DOJ does with its seized BTC, "black budgets", and influencing the corporate sector before getting the congressional green light for a SBR.

And even if not, indirect measures to stimulate the crypto economy in the U.S. - like pro-crypto regulation, tax/energy incentives for BTC mining (which is what he's doing) will also indirectly increase U.S. exposure to BTC prior to announcing a SBR.

This would be the much more bullish scenario long term.
