Max Keiser sarcastically suggests selling U.S. states to fund BTC strategic reserve, what other ways are there?
Crypto analyst and Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser sarcastically suggests the U.S. government could start selling states to keep the strategic reserve ‘budget neutral,’ as more traders begin brainstorming ways for America to buy more BTC.
In a recent post, crypto analyst Max Keiser jested that selling certain U.S. states could help the Trump administration raise money to fund its national strategic reserve. AI and crypto czar David Sacks has made it clear that the BTC ( BTC ) reserve will not rely on taxpayer money to fund it.
“Selling Maine, Vermont & Massachusetts to buy Bitcoin is budget neutral,” Keiser said in his recent post. The idea of establishing a reserve of Bitcoin is not new to governments, as evidenced by El Salvador’s increasing position in the original cryptocurrency.
Selling Maine, Vermont & Massachusetts to buy Bitcoin is budget neutral.
Keiser, a former Wall Street vet who currently serves as an advisor to El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, has been bullish on Bitcoin since at least 2011, promoting it on his wildly influential show the Keiser Report that aired on Russia Today.
In addition to selling the states, Keiser also theorized that selling a portion of the nation’s cheese reserves maybe another viable option.

Other less sarcastic proposals have floated ways of creating a budget-neutral Bitcoin reserve. In a recent crypto.news op-ed , the idea of auctioning the nation’s naming rights to national landmarks, parks, lakes and rivers was posited.
“Auctioning off naming rights to national landmarks offers a proactive, budget-neutral boost, echoing President Trump’s call to harness digital assets for American prosperity.”
“It’s a blueprint that exists in sports. Naming rights have long turned stadiums into cash cows without diluting their purpose.”
In fact, Crypto.com has already taken that step when it acquired the naming rights to rename the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California to Crypto.com Arena in 2021. And Trump has already given the green light to rename other national monuments, rebranding the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America earlier this year. The logic follows that by auctioning the naming rights to the Mississippi River or the Great Lakes, the Fed could attract BTC for the reserve by virtue of leasing their naming rights to major crypto entities.
Others such as Bitcoin analyst Jimmy Song have pointed to alternatives like selling federal assets such as land, gold and unused buildings to gain funds to buy more Bitcoin for the national strategic reserve, though this would require Congressional approval.
In addition, he also suggested selling or privatizing public services such as the postal service or Amtrak, as well as leasing mineral rights on federal land.
Analyst and Muse Labs founder Jiang Jinze also suggested selling federal assets, putting extra emphasis on gold because he believes its value is most in line with Bitcoin considering how they follow similar trends.
Another idea he pitched to traders through his translated X post is for the U.S. government to start mining its own BTC, similar to how Bhutan has begun to adopt a state-supported crypto mining mechanism for years to boost its crypto reserves.
According to analysts, less than half of the 200,000 BTC trove can be considered “real reserves.” This is because the U.S. government is obligated to return much of it to various entities.
Last January, the U.S. federal court ruled that 94,643 BTC stolen from the 2016 Bitfinex hack must be returned to the exchange. The U.S. government currently holds the stolen Bitfinex crypto funds after it was seized by authorities.
In 2014, the US government in a sealed bid sold over 29,000 Bitcoins it held to financier Tim Draper.
A move Keiser commented on as well.
Tim Draper should be a mensch and return the Bitcoin he bought at auction from the US. “The U.S. Marshals Service auctioned off 29,655 bitcoins at an estimated worth of about $18 million in an online, sealed-bid auction” [now worth $2.7 billion]
With the White House crypto summit looming on the horizon, in addition to the official establishment of a Bitcoin strategic reserve yesterday, analysts are now wondering how a budget-neutral approach to padding the Fed’s coffers can assist in making the US a global cryptocurrency powerhouse.
Altcoin Surge Incoming: Bullish Patterns Indicate Explosive Growth
The cryptocurrency market shows bullish signals with altcoins poised for profits. According to technical indicators provided by analyst Moustache USDT dominance is on the decline, and altcoin market capitalization is forming a classic Cup and Handle pattern. These signals are indicative of an impending altcoin rally with the potential to hit new highs.
USDT dominance plays a crucial role in determining market trends. A lower dominance percentage usually indicates capital flowing into Bitcoin and altcoins. The data forms an ascending broadening wedge. Initially, the price followed this pattern, creating higher highs and higher lows while respecting trendlines.
However, at the breakout point, there was a sharp rejection. The previously strong resistance turned into a rejection level, confirming a breakdown. A major support level aligns with historical lows at 3.80% dominance, signaling further downside.
Blue retracement lines indicate a possible short-term pullback before another drop. This decline supports the likelihood of capital shifting toward riskier assets like Bitcoin and altcoins. Additionally, a reversal point, a red X highlights where the price bottomed before the last rally. If this pattern plays out, altcoins could experience explosive upward momentum.
The total market capitalization of altcoins is forming a Cup and Handle pattern, a widely recognized bullish indicator. The weekly chart shows a decline followed by a rounded recovery, forming the “cup.” After reaching resistance, a slight downward movement creates the “handle,” which precedes a breakout.
Breaking above the long-term descending trendline confirms bullish momentum . The projected price target based on this pattern suggests a 173% increase, potentially pushing market capitalization to $2.4 trillion. The market cap as of right now is $1.13 trillion, down 7.84%, although technical signs point to a robust recovery.
A surge from 2020 to late 2021 was followed by a protracted fall, historical market tendencies show. The long-term support trendline remains intact, further supporting bullish expectations. If the handle breakout is sustained, altcoins could enter a historic bull phase.

Trump Makes Bitcoin a Reserve Asset… But the Market Crashes!
The leading crypto experienced a significant drop following the official signing of the U.S. presidential decree establishing a strategic reserve of bitcoin. While investors hoped for massive purchases from the government, the reality turned out to be less ambitious, triggering a market correction.
Last night, on March 6, 2025, Donald Trump officially signed a decree establishing a strategic reserve of bitcoin in the United States, transforming the first crypto into a state asset.
This initiative, inspired by the Fort Knox model for gold, marks a historic turning point in the institutional adoption of digital assets. However, the clarifications provided by David Sacks, crypto advisor to the White House, quickly dampened market enthusiasm.
The disappointment mainly stems from the fact that this reserve will only be supplied by the 198,109 bitcoins already seized during judicial proceedings, representing about $17 billion.
Contrary to expectations, the U.S. government will not purchase additional bitcoins on the market, with Sacks clarifying that “the government will not acquire additional assets for the stock beyond those obtained through confiscation procedures“.
In response to this news, the bitcoin dropped by about 6%, falling from $90,400 to $84,979, before slightly stabilizing at $86,460. Other major cryptos also suffered, with declines of 4% for Ether, 7% for XRP, 5.14% for Solana, and 9.19% for Cardano in the hour following the announcement.
Despite this market correction , many industry experts view this initiative as an extremely positive signal in the long term. “Who in the world sells the news of a strategic bitcoin reserve in the U.S.?” asked Avichal, CEO of Electric Capital, surprised by the market’s negative reaction.
Others, like Dennis Porter from the Satoshi Action Fund, pointed out that the strategic reserve could eventually incorporate “additional bitcoin acquisitions”, suggesting that more ambitious measures could follow this first step. Some analysts believe this official recognition of bitcoin as a strategic asset by the world’s leading power could encourage other countries to follow suit.
The decree also provides for the creation of a Digital Asset Stock for other seized cryptos, marking a radical change in U.S. policy. Previously, these assets were systematically auctioned off, while they will now be kept as a store of value, similar to national gold reserves.
This initiative, although falling short of short-term hopes, nonetheless marks a decisive turning point in the history of bitcoin. By officially recognizing the strategic value of the queen of cryptos, the United States is laying the groundwork for a new era of institutional adoption that could, in the long run, propel the bitcoin to new heights .
Crypto: U.S. Senate Moves to Tackle Banking Censorship
American lawmakers are writing history in finance. Gone are the old dogmas, welcome to disruptions! After years of ambiguity and hostility towards digital assets, Congress is finally addressing a controversial practice: “debanking.” This banking exclusion targeted several industries, including the crypto market. Republican Senator Tim Scott is sponsoring a bill to put an end to these practices. His goal? To ensure equitable access to financial services and to put a stop to the arbitrary decisions of banks.
While bitcoin suffers from record volatility due to American economic tensions, American lawmakers are taking action. The Republican bill spearheaded by Tim Scott aims to prohibit regulators from blocking bank access for reputational reasons. This is a necessity, according to its supporters, as many crypto companies have been denied financial services under the pretext that they posed a “risk.”
This practice, denounced for years, has notably been highlighted with the “Operation Chokepoint 2.0” case.
This program, referred to by some as a cabal orchestrated by the Biden administration, allegedly targeted various sectors deemed sensitive, ranging from arms manufacturers to crypto companies.
A tweet from December 7, 2024, by Croxxed Out does not mince words:
The concept of debanking is a form of financial ban reminiscent of an authoritarian regime.
This statement aptly illustrates the stakes of this struggle.
The question arises: is this really a deliberate policy by the FED and major banks to restrict certain activities or simple political paranoia?
In any case, Tim Scott’s bill has already received support from at least 11 senators and major financial players, such as JPMorgan Chase. It remains to be seen whether Congress will follow this initiative or if opponents will succeed in blocking the reform.
The crypto industry, already shaken by vague and sometimes hostile regulation, sees in this bill a breath of fresh air. The issue of debanking has emerged as a recurring problem in recent years. Many industry entrepreneurs report difficulties in obtaining traditional banking services, which hampers the development of innovation in the United States.
Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz, recently sounded the alarm on this situation, stating that more than 30 crypto and tech companies have been denied access to banks.
His observation is chilling:
This is a privatized sanctions regime that allows bureaucrats to inflict on American citizens the same treatment we reserve for Iran.
Market advocates argue that banks’ discrimination slows the United States’ competitiveness on the international stage.
Meanwhile, other countries like Switzerland and Singapore are adopting much more favorable policies towards digital assets. The risk is real: if the United States continues down this path, crypto entrepreneurs may well seek refuge elsewhere.
Behind the issue of debanking lies a broader challenge: that of the financial regulation of digital assets. Tim Scott’s bill could be the first step towards a clearer and fairer framework. However, its opponents, including some Democrats and regulators, fear that this initiative opens the door to risky banking practices.
The opposition was heard on March 5 when the Senate met to discuss the bill. An exchange relayed on X by Ryan Grim shows the polarization of the debate:
Republicans are about to legalize debanking for ideological reasons. Where are Marc Andreessen, Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and the others?
In light of these tensions, the crypto community hopes that a more precise regulatory framework will emerge. The crypto summit of Donald Trump , set for March 7, could also provide answers. The president, who recently criticized Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase for closing bank accounts, could unveil his ambitions regarding digital finance. Should we expect a revolution or mere campaign promises?
