According to Jan3 founder Samson Mow, a new phase of adoption of Bitcoin by nation-states may be approaching, and the government is moving towards a skeptical and aggressive plan.
Mow told podcast host Danny Knowles that shifts often happen quickly — “gradually, and suddenly,” he said — and that a wave of government purchases can cause widespread panic purchases among countries that want to be left behind.
Nation-state run on Bitcoin could accelerate
US President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order to create a strategic Bitcoin Reserve framework. However, based on Mow’s comments, the US has yet to start buying under that plan.
The US still holds 198,012 bitcoins, but Mow claimed that the Treasury should begin acquiring coins for the reserve, according to Bitbo data. He warned that there is a risk of being made in front or by other countries moving faster.

Mow also considers Latin America to be an important region
Mow has picked out Latin America as the place where major movements could first come. Political and currency pressures in some areas make valuable alternatives attractive, he said.
Fidelity Digital Assets published a paper in January suggesting that more nation-states, central banks, sovereign wealth funds, and the Ministry of Finance would establish a strategic position in Bitcoin.
Timing, if not, remains an issue
Mow acknowledged that the expected 2025 Bull Run has not appeared in many predictions, suggesting that the cycle could be pushed next year.
He has spoken out about bullish targets before, but at one point he says that $1 million in Bitcoin will be “given” and will likely be this year or the next year.
These strong views are balanced by analysts pointing to ETF and institutional flow as factors that could change the behavior of the price cycle.
Institutional voices add to the debate
meanwhile. Galaxy Digital’s Alex Thorn said it is likely that the US strategic Bitcoin reserve will be before the end of the year, but Bitise’s chief investment officer Matt Hougan recently told investors that 2026 was the “Up Year.”
Market data shows that Bitcoin trading was $109,425 at the time of reporting, a 5% decline over the past seven days.
