A new report by investment firm River has revealed that Bitcoin has overtaken gold as the primary strategic asset in the United States.
A new report by investment firm River has revealed that Bitcoin has overtaken gold as the primary strategic asset in the United States.
The study shows that the U.S. leads in cryptocurrency adoption, both in terms of infrastructure and investment volume, establishing Bitcoin (BTC) as a modern reserve asset in the American economy.
According to the data, the U.S. hosts 40% of all Bitcoin-related companies worldwide, and 94.8% of all BTC held by publicly traded companies is owned by American firms.
Currently, Americans hold approximately \$790 billion in Bitcoin, reinforcing the idea that the cryptocurrency is not just a store of value, but also a strategic instrument increasingly integrated into the country's financial system.
This growing consolidation is supported by advantages such as secure digital storage, rapid value transfer, and political initiatives that even propose the creation of national strategic Bitcoin reserves. The result is a paradigm shift: Bitcoin is moving beyond its status as an alternative asset to challenge gold as a symbol of security in times of economic uncertainty.
