US Should Hold as Much Bitcoin as Gold – Robert Kennedy Jr.
Robert Kennedy Jr., pro-Bitcoin presidential candidate, has reaffirmed his commitment to support BTC if elected.
He shared his belief that Bitcoin facilitates the restoration of individual liberty and national integrity. Furthermore, Kennedy Jr. revealed that he has invested most of his wealth in Bitcoin .
According to him, the asset enables the middle class to protect itself from inflation, which acts as a form of embezzlement in favor of the government.
He added:
I would like the federal government to acquire Bitcoin, and I will strive to match our gold reserves with Bitcoin by the end of my tenure.
This is a significant commitment given that the US government currently owns only 210,000 BTC, valued at approximately $14 billion.
