Mining Giant’s CEO Urges U.S. to Hoard Bitcoin as Strategic Reserve—Because Gold Was Too Last Century
Fred Thiel, CEO of Marathon Digital (MARA), just dropped a bombshell: America should start mining Bitcoin to stockpile a national crypto reserve. Move over, Fort Knox—the future’s got a SHA-256 algorithm.
Why? Thiel argues Bitcoin mining could fortify U.S. economic sovereignty while the Fed prints money like it’s going out of style (spoiler: it isn’t). Bonus perk: all that wasted energy? Now it’s ‘strategic infrastructure.’
Wall Street’s response? Probably a mix of FOMO and eye-rolls—after all, they’re still trying to tokenize real estate in the metaverse.
