Fidelity Digital Assets, a financial services company, predicts that many nations will start amassing Bitcoin this year, boosting the adoption of the oldest crypto in the world.
Many nations could create corporate Bitcoin reserves in 2025 to hedge against “debilitating inflation, currency debasement, and extremely crushing economic deficits”, the firm wrote in a report on Monday.
According to Fidelity Digital Assets researcher Matt Hogan, world officials are warming up to the crypto in response to the U.S.’s praised plans to accept Bitcoin as a result of growing institutional investor attention.
” We anticipate more nation-states, central bankers, sovereign wealth funds, and state bonds may seem to create strategic positions in Bitcoin”, Hogan said in the document.  ,
Crypto-currency governments may model their programs for creating Bitcoin resources on policies from pro-Bitcoin places like Bhutan and El Salvador, where federal officials have previously effected significant returns.
El Salvador’s Bitcoin holdings are valued at more than$ 570 million, while Bhutan holds north of$ 1.1 billion, on-chain analytics platform Arkham Intelligence’s data shows.  ,
The U. S. has the most important Bitcoin hoard of any world state, valued at approximately$ 19.3 billion. It’s followed by China, the UK, and Ukraine, which hold$ 19.2 billion,$ 6.2 billion and$ 4.7 billion of the cryptocurrency, respectively.  ,
Those large investments do no necessarily translate into substantial returns, yet.  ,
Some states, such as the U. S., have specific requirements for handling or auctioning off Cryptocurrency, limiting their ability to count the goods as part of their bonds.
However, there are plenty of opportunities for places to start holding Bitcoin, especially as the stock’s value continues to linger around its all-time-high price of$ 108, 000, the report shows.  ,
” We may be entering the dawn of a new era for digital assets, one poised to span multiple years—if not decades”, Hogan said in the report.
