Summary:
Billy Markus proposes a Dogecoin reserve in response to potential Bitcoin reserves by the U.S. government.
Bitcoin has a market cap of $1.8 trillion, making it the seventh-largest asset globally.
Dogecoin is the sixth-biggest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $55 billion.
The rise of Elon Musk has significantly impacted Dogecoin's popularity and value.
Analysts suggest that DOGE could soon be available to traditional investors through an ETF.
Forget a Bitcoin reserveâwhat about a Dogecoin government stash? Thatâs the provocative idea proposed by Dogecoin co-creator Billy Markus on Twitter (now X).
Markus questioned, âWhy not a national Dogecoin reserve tho,â in response to a post discussing the increasing likelihood of President-elect Donald Trump creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Trump has previously expressed intentions to allow the U.S. government to purchase Bitcoin as a reserve asset, alongside existing reserves like land, Treasuries, and gold.
As Bitcoin continues to gain momentum, the idea of a Dogecoin reserve doesnât seem far-fetched. With a market cap of $1.8 trillion, Bitcoin is currently the seventh-largest asset globally, surpassing silver and Saudi Aramco.
In contrast, Dogecoin (DOGE) holds the position of the sixth-biggest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $55 billion. Initially created as a joke based on an Internet meme, Dogecoin gained popularity in 2020-2021, largely due to endorsements from Elon Musk, who has suggested its potential for payments.
Wall Street analysts speculate that it may soon be accessible to traditional investors through an exchange-traded fund (ETF). Furthermore, crypto analysts believe that DOGE could easily break its all-time price record from 2021, indicating significant growth potential.
Despite the serious discussions surrounding the leading meme coin, the concept of a Dogecoin strategic reserve remains more of a humorous notion for now. However, in the unpredictable world of cryptocurrency, who knows what could happen next?
