Bitwise exec says, ‘We’re not bullish enough,’ amid political sway to crypto

Bitwise’s Matt Hougan said the idea that US politicians are even considering Bitcoin as a reserve asset is a monumental step, given it felt more like a “daydream” a year ago.

After hearing several influential United States politicians embrace Bitcoin at the recent Bitcoin 2024  conference in Nashville, Tennessee, Bitwise’s chief investment officer Matt Hougan says he left with one big takeaway: “We’re not bullish enough.”

In a July 31 post, Hougan said several recent promises made by these US politicians have prompted him to “rethink what’s possible” with Bitcoin (BTC).

Among those promises were Republican Party candidate and former President Donald Trump’s plan to build a strategic national Bitcoin stockpile, Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis’ announcement of a Bitcoin reserve bill to clean up the country’s $35 trillion debt crisis and independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s promise to make the US Treasury buy 500 Bitcoin per day until at least 4 million Bitcoin is reached.
