Could Trump Trigger a Global “Bitcoin Fever”? Japan and Asia Are Ready to Act!
At Bitcoin billionaire Michael Saylor ’s New Year’s Eve party in Miami, Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich made a bold prediction:
“President Donald Trump will inspire Asian countries, like Japan, to build strategic Bitcoin reserves.”

According to Gerovich, Bitcoin will become a global reserve asset by 2025. He believes that the US, under Trump's leadership, could lead this wave.
“The Bitcoin community helped elect Trump,” Gerovich emphasized. “Now he will return the favor by making Bitcoin a strategic reserve asset. Asian countries, especially Japan, will not be left out.”
Bitcoin's Attraction to Governments
The idea of using Bitcoin as a reserve is not new. Countries like El Salvador and Bhutan have accumulated thousands of Bitcoins:
El Salvador : Over 6,000 BTC , worth about $567 million .
Bhutan : Holds 12,000 BTC , equivalent to 1.1 billion USD .
These countries see Bitcoin as “digital gold ,” a way to protect assets against inflation.
Trump And The Global Bitcoin Race?
Gerovich believes that if Trump moves to build Bitcoin reserves, other countries will be pressured to follow suit.
“Japan looks to the United States as a big brother,” he said. “If Trump does it, Japan and other Asian countries will quickly copy this plan.”
In addition, countries in the Middle East are also quietly accumulating Bitcoin.
“They will go public when the time comes,” Gerovich revealed after a Bitcoin conference in Abu Dhabi.
