While the idea of a Bitcoin strategic reserve gains traction, Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus has posed an intriguing question: could there be a national Dogecoin reserve?
Markus, who created Dogecoin as an experiment in 2013, sparked discussion on Twitter. "Why not a national Dogecoin reserve?" he tweeted, raising the possibility of alternative cryptocurrencies in state reserves.
Senator Cynthia Lummis, a Bitcoin advocate, also explored the concept, discussing its potential implementation.
Bitcoin, the world's seventh-largest asset with a value of $1.8 trillion, has surged past silver and Saudi Aramco this month, demonstrating its growing influence.
Dogecoin remains the sixth-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $55 billion, though smaller than Bitcoin. Endorsed by Elon Musk, Dogecoin gained popularity during the 2020-2021 bull market. Musk's involvement has lent credibility to the initially humorous project, hinting at Dogecoin's potential for payments.
The idea of a Dogecoin reserve may seem unusual, but analysts predict its wider acceptance in the future. Dogecoin could potentially find its place in traditional investment vehicles such as ETFs.
