TechFlow News, January 8 — Fidelity Digital Assets stated in its latest research report that by 2025, more countries are expected to include Bitcoin in their national strategic reserves, driving significant growth in the cryptocurrency market.
Matthew Hogan, Research Analyst at Fidelity Digital Assets, said in a report titled "Outlook for 2025" released on January 7: "We expect more nations, central banks, sovereign wealth funds, and government treasuries to seek strategic positions in Bitcoin." He added that these countries may look to strategies adopted by Bhutan and El Salvador, "and the substantial returns they have achieved from these positions in a relatively short time frame."
Hogan noted that not including Bitcoin in strategic reserves could be riskier than including it, given challenges such as hyperinflation, currency depreciation, and growing fiscal deficits. He also mentioned that if the U.S. continues advancing its Bitcoin strategic reserve plans, "other nations might begin accumulating Bitcoin secretly," he said. "No country would have an incentive to publicly announce such programs, as doing so could attract more buyers and drive prices higher."
