Policy Detonation: The Triple Fracture of White House Crypto Strategy
On March 20, 2025, Trump detonated three strategic bombs via video link to the New York DAS Summit: The federal government would establish a digital asset reserve, ending the Biden-era “fire-sale strategy”; halting “Operation Chokepoint 2.0” to cease the SEC’s “unlawful persecution” of mining firms; and pushing Congress to pass legislation creating “common-sense rules” for dollar-pegged stablecoins. On the JuCoin Policy Tracker, these policies triggered a chain tsunami—Bitcoin whale addresses hoarded 47,892 BTC in a single day, the highest since 2021; mining stocks soared, with Iris Energy surging 38%; stablecoin issuers scrambled to adjust reserves, lifting USD backing for USDT and USDC to 92%.
Former Fed economist David Rosenberg warned: “This isn’t mere policy shift—it’s the dollar hegemony’s chain takeover.” He uncovered Treasury’s secret testing of a “Bitcoin-USD hybrid reserve system,” planning to swap 10% of gold reserves for Bitcoin. This “fiat+crypto” dual-anchor model may reshape the global reserve currency system. When traditional gold and digital hash power jointly back dollar credibility, a new financial iron curtain descends.

Dollar’s Digital Rebirth: How Stablecoins Became Neo-Colonial Tools
Trump emphasized: “Dollar-backed stablecoins will expand global dominance.” This isn’t rhetoric—JuCoin on-chain data reveals deeper maneuvers: Tether’s NY Mellon custody share surged from 17% to 43%; Circle secured Treasury approval to directly exchange Fed account dollars; Coinbase launched a “Global Dollar Corridor” with fiat-stablecoin nodes in 12 nations.
This “stablecoin+geopolitics” combo forges a neo-colonial currency system. Argentina’s peso plunged 29% monthly as USDT daily trades hit 800 million, turning LATAM into a dollar stablecoin lab; Vietnam’s dong-USDT premium hit 17%, gutting monetary sovereignty; Congo cobalt exporters are forced to accept 50% USDT settlements, cementing “digital resource colonialism.” Geopolitical analyst Ian Bremmer notes: “When African miners buy Chinese ASICs with USDT to mine Bitcoin and cash out via U.S. exchanges, dollar completes its closed-loop dominion over global value chains.”
Hash Power Hegemony: Taming Bitcoin with Chips and Nuclear Power
Trump’s “Bitcoin superpower” blueprint rests on twin physical pillars. Applied Materials secured exclusive 3nm ASIC chip supply to U.S. miners; TSMC’s Texas plant allocated 37% capacity to Bitcoin rigs; NVIDIA launched “hash rate futures,” transforming physical miners into derivatives. Amid this chip stranglehold, global hash power convulses—U.S. share soared from 12% to 29%, Chinese pools fell below 40%, and Marathon Digital’s market cap eclipsed Occidental Petroleum as the S&P 500’s fastest-growing component.
Energy colonialism accelerates. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) offers 7.2GW nuclear power at $0.023/kWh to compliant mines; Texas’ “Mining Tax Exemption Act” lures Bitmain and BitRiver; Treasury’s proposed 4.5%-yield “Green Hash Bonds” siphon global capital to fuel U.S. mines. With Bitcoin’s difficulty adjustment cycle stretching to 16 days and hash volatility dropping 72%, Satoshi’s decentralized vision is strangled. Bitcoin Core dev Luke Dashjr lamented on GitHub: “When three U.S. firms control 60% hash power, Bitcoin becomes Wall Street’s marionette.”
Future Prophecy
Trump’s crypto doctrine is an audacious marriage between old hegemony and new money. As dollar devours fiat sovereignty via stablecoins and ASICs outmuscle oil as hard currency, global finance undergoes chain reconstruction. This bloodless revolution sees every Bitcoin block mined as a cornerstone for America’s neo-colonial empire.
