In a CNBC “Squawk Box” segment, SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci argued that Bitcoin should be treated as a long‑term strategic reserve asset for the United States and described it as “a very valuable long-term strategic asset.” He discussed a proposal associated with entrepreneur David Sacks and the Trump administration’s communiqués, noting that the plan under consideration is to acquire Bitcoin for a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve without using new taxpayer funds, instead relying on “revenue neutral” methods such as selling other government‑held or forfeited assets. Scaramucci framed this as part of a broader effort to integrate Bitcoin into the U.S. balance sheet in a way that aligns with fiscal and political constraints. Scaramucci contended that the U.S. will ultimately “want to have this as a reserve asset” to help maintain the stability and supremacy of the U.S. dollar in the global financial system. His comments fit into his broader, long‑running advocacy for sovereign Bitcoin reserves and expectations that a formal U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve will eventually be established, potentially under pro‑Bitcoin policymakers such as Senator Cynthia Lummis. The interview underscores how Bitcoin policy has moved from a niche topic to a matter of macro strategy and geopolitics, with advocates arguing that early sovereign adoption could influence both national balance sheets and future monetary power dynamics.
