A famous billionaire calls on the U.S. government to replace gold with Bitcoin!

Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy, urged the US government to sell its gold reserves and replace them with digital bitcoin currency to combat inflation and ensure long-term financial stability.

Saylor views bitcoin as a more suitable asset for the future of the economy, with its value potentially exceeding trillions of dollars as a strategic reserve for the country. The market value of bitcoin could reach $280 trillion, surpassing the market value of gold, which is estimated at $45 trillion.

Under Michael Saylor's leadership, MicroStrategy exemplifies this trend, as the company currently owns approximately 402,100 bitcoins, valued at around $40 billion. This strategy reflects the strong belief of the American billionaire that bitcoin will become a key element in future financial trends as a tool for combating inflation and preserving value.

It is noted that according to data from TradingEconomics published on December 9, the United States possesses around 8,133 tons of gold, which represents about 72% of the total financial reserves of the United States.
