Or maybe an attempt to accelerate a reduction of trust in the dollar? Any cryptocurrency in the strategic reserve is being purchase with dollars, which increases the number of dollars in circulation, and will also be directly inflationary (if it’s newly issued dollars) or increases the US debt (if those dollars are obtained by issuing debt, which classical macroeconomic theory suggests is also inflationary).

Maybe it's a good idea to have a currency that isn't being inflated and devalued all the time with every little thing the government does. Kind of gold. Maybe digital gold? I'll call it bitgold. Or what about bitcoin?
