Fred Thiel, MARA’s CEO, argues that Bitcoin represents a critical national asset — comparable to gold reserves — with potentially profound implications for US economic sovereignty.
In an article posted on X, the company’s pitch centers on Bitcoin’s unique attributes: a decentralized, finite asset that offers superior transferability and scarcity.
MARA is urging the US government to acquire a substantial Bitcoin reserve, expand domestic Bitcoin mining capabilities, develop domestic mining technology production, create clear regulatory frameworks, and establish global Bitcoin network standards.
The company highlights the geopolitical urgency, noting that nations like China, which already holds approximately 190,000 Bitcoin, are actively positioning themselves in the ecosystem. With only 200,000 bitcoins currently held by the US, MARA sees a narrow window to establish technological and financial leadership.
“A sovereign can have sovereignty,” Thiel stated, emphasizing Bitcoin’s potential as a strategic national resource.
The company argues that Bitcoin mining represents a pathway to maintaining economic influence in the digital age.
The recommendation comes as the Bitcoin market continues to evolve, with increasing institutional and governmental interest in digital assets. MARA believes that treating Bitcoin infrastructure as a critical national interest could be as strategic as traditional energy and technological sectors.
