Bitcoin BTC/USD supporter and advocate Michael Saylor called on the U.S. government to accumulate BTC to eliminate the national debt and benefit its citizens and taxpayers.

What Happened: At the CPAC Conference, Saylor on Thursday championed Bitcoin as the ultimate form of economic sovereignty and sound money.

He emphasized that Bitcoin aligns with Satoshi Nakamoto's vision, empowering individuals against centralized entities like governments, banks and big tech.

According to Saylor, Bitcoin represents a censorship-resistant, tamper-proof ledger (ensuring integrity), self-custodial ownership (ensuring sovereignty) and an economic energy source immune to debasement, seizure or manipulation.

As Executive Chairman and co-founder of Strategy MSTR, Saylor detailed how adopting Bitcoin transformed his company, shifting it from stagnation to exponential growth.

He argues that Bitcoin offers businesses an escape from: bank dependence, government monetary policies and inflationary currencies.

Saylor called on the U.S. government to accumulate Bitcoin, claiming it would eliminate national debt, strengthen the dollar, and solidify U.S. leadership in the digital economy. He stated, "There is only room for one nation-state to buy up 20% of the network, and that should be the United States."

Saylor believes if the U.S. acquires between 4–6 million BTC, it could generate $50 trillion to $80 trillion in benefits for American citizens and taxpayers.

What's Next: Saylor highlighted Bitcoin as the economic armor which protects individuals from financial oppression and confiscation, much like a deterrent against economic control. He added that when you own BTC, "no mayor no government no collectivist no socialist can debank you they can’t take your money away they can’t impoverish you."

He describes Bitcoin as a fundamental shift in economic power, securing generational wealth and offering individuals true financial freedom.
