Could Central Banks Secretly Buy Bitcoin? 5% for circa $30 Billion USD. Experts Weigh in on the Implications

If the US Federal Reserve or the Bank of England wanted to quietly and secretly buy 5% of of all Bitcoins that would only be approximately 1,000,000 (one million) Bitcoins. At today's price that would be circa $30 Billion US dollars. They print their own money, think about that!

Consider this scenario: If either the US Federal Reserve or the Bank of England were to discreetly purchase 5% of the total Bitcoin supply, which is approximately 1,000,000 Bitcoins, it would cost roughly $30 billion USD at current market prices. It's worth noting that these financial institutions have the ability to print their own currency, which is a crucial point to consider.

Suppose the US Federal Reserve or the Bank of England quietly and discreetly purchased 5% of the total Bitcoin supply, amounting to approximately 1,000,000 Bitcoins, at today's market price, which would be around $30 billion USD. This possibility has raised concerns and sparked debates among experts in the cryptocurrency industry. As Meltem Demirors, the Chief Strategy Officer at CoinShares, said in an interview with CNBC, "Central banks could start to acquire bitcoin...It's not out of the realm of possibility." However, she also highlighted the potential consequences of such a move, stating, "There would be knock-on effects across the financial system, on various industries, and on countries that have taken different approaches to digital assets." It is unclear if or when such a scenario may come to fruition, but it certainly warrants further consideration and analysis.
