US Bitcoin holdings have become a focal point in ongoing discussions about the cryptocurrency’s role in global finance. Alexandre Laizet, CEO of Capital B, a company recognized as the largest Bitcoin treasury firm in Europe, stated that the US government considers Bitcoin one asset it will not sell from its reserves under any circumstances.
US government’s approach signals Bitcoin’s lasting role
Laizet outlined this perspective at BTC Prague, emphasizing the significance of Washington’s position. He linked the government’s stance to a broader acceptance of Bitcoin by major financial institutions and large corporations, describing it as a sign of Bitcoin’s strengthening status as a scarce, non-sovereign store of value.
He said, “The statement that the US government has identified Bitcoin as the one asset it will not sell is incredibly significant.” Laizet described this view as influencing Capital B’s own treasury approach, linking government policy to the strategy of acquiring and holding Bitcoin indefinitely.
Capital B commits to rapidly acquiring Bitcoin, with Laizet explaining that the company will “acquire as much Bitcoin as possible, as quickly as possible, and hold it indefinitely.” He noted that a growing number of global enterprises now seek to integrate Bitcoin into their financial strategies, moving beyond mere speculation toward lasting adoption.
Laizet described the US policy as establishing Bitcoin’s role as a long-term, non-sovereign store of value, encouraging companies to see it as a strategic reserve asset rather than a purely speculative instrument.
Public corporations and Bitcoin accumulation strategies
Laizet pointed out that most of the world’s capital remains concentrated in traditional securities markets. According to him, nearly all global wealth is confined to equities and debt products, with Bitcoin offering a unique model for diversification and growth.
He explained that publicly listed companies such as Capital B leverage this structure by issuing shares and debt to raise capital, which is then used to buy more Bitcoin and expand the company’s holdings. This “Bitcoin accumulation machine” links shareholder value directly to the amount of Bitcoin in the treasury.
Laizet suggested that with every round of financing, public firms can tap into established capital markets to boost their cryptocurrency exposures. He said this approach turns traditional corporate financing into an engine for Bitcoin growth and underpins new forms of value creation within digital capital markets.

Bitcoin-backed credit and digital finance expansion
Panelists at BTC Prague, including leaders from companies such as XCE Connecting Excellence Group, explored new possibilities for using Bitcoin in corporate performance incentives and as foundation collateral for emerging digital assets. The Bit Credit Protocol, for example, seeks to enable Bitcoin-backed currencies that function independently from traditional fiat systems.
Panel participants noted that Bitcoin’s fixed and limited supply makes it an attractive instrument for digital capital markets, especially as institutions move toward tokenization and asset-backed lending. They discussed the potential for Bitcoin-backed credit to eventually exceed Bitcoin’s own market value, highlighting an anticipated shift in how digital capital markets operate.
Laizet’s comments about the US government’s refusal to sell its Bitcoin holdings were echoed, with speakers describing this approach as reinforcing confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term role as a strategic reserve asset for both public and private entities.
Panelists acknowledged that while Bitcoin continues to exhibit speculative behavior at this stage, volatility may decrease as institutional involvement increases, and encouraged more firms to begin strategic Bitcoin allocations rather than remaining on the sidelines.
