Odaily News Placeholder VC partner Chris Burniske retweeted Taproot Wizards founder Udi Wertheimer's views on social media.
Udi Wertheimer said that the best interpretation of the strategic reserve so far is that it is just a typical Trump negotiation strategy. To achieve a real reserve, Trump must convince Congress, and he cannot decide on his own. Whenever Trump needs to convince other stakeholders, he always starts with a ridiculous proposal and can back off later, such as the previous Gaza plan, the annexation of Canada, and now the ADA strategic reserve. So, in Trump's "chess game language", this means that he is telling Congress: If you don't agree to the Bitcoin reserve, I will propose more outrageous conditions.
