A high-ranking U.S. senator has raised alarms over the nation's approach to bitcoin reserves. "We're watching other countries actively building up their cryptocurrency holdings, yet we're not moving fast enough. These are critical strategic assets—we simply cannot afford to let this opportunity slip away," the official expressed with visible concern. The statement highlights the growing geopolitical dimension of bitcoin accumulation, where major economies are treating digital assets as part of their long-term financial strategy. This perspective reflects broader debates about whether nations should follow El Salvador's earlier moves or the recent bitcoin-friendly policies adopted by leading financial centers.

Nah, the US is finally starting to catch up. Recently, countries around the world have been stockpiling coins, we need to speed up too. US Senators are getting anxious, which is understandable. Having a national-level BTC reserve is indeed a future move. Wait, are they speaking so urgently... Could it be that they’ve already been stockpiling behind the scenes? This game is too big; the term strategic assets is well used... a battle for national destiny. It seems the US was really stimulated by El Salvador’s move, haha. Wow, really... the current global economic and geopolitical landscape is all about who has more coins. No matter how fast the US reacts, it can’t catch up to the early movers; the outcome is already decided.

American lawmakers are finally getting impatient. This pace is really... painfully slow. Other countries are stacking coins, and we're still dithering.

Haha, American politicians have finally woken up, but it's a bit too late. --- I said that the entry of national-level players was a foregone conclusion. What are you still hesitating for? --- The US still has to chase this wave; it's really nerve-wracking. --- Don't just talk without action, or it'll just be another political show. --- Strategic assets? Why didn't you do this earlier? Now you're only reacting. --- Interesting, the geopolitical BTC war is about to begin. --- Let's talk again when they really start buying with real money; verbal support doesn't mean much. --- El Salvador is smiling. This is what you call first-mover advantage. --- The US Congress should get serious, or they'll really fall behind.

ngl It's a bit late for the US to react now; they should have accumulated Bitcoin earlier. --- Wait, is the US senator only panicking now? Countries are all bottom-fishing, and you're still hesitating. --- Haha, this is what they call a strategic asset. The good reputation still depends on the holding volume. --- Indeed, missing this wave of opportunity means there's no turning back. --- The US Federal Reserve is already saying this, which shows the matter has really escalated. --- Instead of worrying, why not just buy directly? Talk is cheap. --- I just want to know if they'll really take action or just keep talking. --- BTC has become a tool of geopolitical politics. Interesting. --- It was about time to pay attention; now the whole world is stockpiling.
