Bitcoin evolves at the intersection of large geopolitical tensions and global monetary strategies. While the financial markets expected to see the United States taking the lead on the issue of Bitcoin reserves, it is ultimately China that could start an economic earthquake of unprecedented magnitude. A series of discreet initiatives by Beijing suggests a possible massive influx of liquidity in the crypto ecosystem, with a potential impact of $ 1.4 trillion. Behind this strategy, an assumed desire to stabilize the Yuan in order to circumvent American sanctions and monetary policy.
Beijing injects liquidity: fertile land for risky assets
Economic recovery signals are multiplying in China, and their effect could exceed the traditional borders of financial markets. According to Pan Gongsheng, governor of the Popular Banque of China, interest rate reductions and an injection of liquidity via the decrease in compulsory banks reserves are planned “at the right time”. This announcement comes as Beijing must deal with the trade tensions exacerbated by the protectionist policy of Donald Trump, which threatens to lead to a world -scale trade war.
Last November, China already unveiled a plan of $ 1.4 trillion intended to support its local governments and maintain financial stability. “When China has strengthened its monetary policy and injected liquidity in 2015 and 2020, these funds were often redirected to alternative assets,” said the Nexo platform. Indeed, the hypothesis that these new liquidity can benefit the cryptos directly, and in particular Bitcoin, therefore becomes more and more plausible.
A possible stock of state bitcoin? A high -risk strategic game
Beyond the simple injection of liquidity, certain rumors suggest that Beijing could go even further by the constitution of a Bitcoin strategic reserve. This hypothesis, relayed by David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine and advisor to the Trump campaign on the cryptos, evokes “meetings at door since the election” around this question.
If this information is confirmed, China could thus be ahead of the United States, where Donald Trump publicly declared his intention to create a national Bitcoin reserve. Beijing would then adopt an offensive posture, and would use Bitcoin as a strategic tool to compensate for the restrictions imposed by Washington.
The impact of such a scenario would be colossal: beyond a simple bullish movement, a Chinese state of Bitcoin would completely upset market dynamics, which would further strengthen the institutional adoption and the legitimacy of Bitcoin as a strategic active.
Towards a repositioning of bitcoin in the balance of monetary powers?
Arthur Hayes, co -founder of Bitmex and founder of the Maelstrom investment fund, warns: “Watch out for China”. In a blog post published On March 4, 2025, he predicted a “latest spasm of the Fiat financial market” before the world economy, under the impetus of the United States, could “re-inflate and propel bitcoin beyond the million dollars”. If China effectively accumulates large -scale bitcoin, this could precipitate this unprecedented monetary restructuring, which would accelerate institutional adoption and even more legitimize crypto as a reserve asset.
These decisions of China go beyond simple economic adjustments. They could well reshape the world monetary chessboard. Beijing, historically resistant to cryptos, now seems to play a pragmatic card by the progressive integration of bitcoin in its financial strategy.
If China were to diversify its reserves with Bitcoin, this would create a new dynamic of rarity, which would result in considerable upward pressure on its price. Also, this would open a new chapter in Sino-American rivalry, where financial supremacy would go beyond traditional currencies, but now include cryptos. In this context, Bitcoin appears as a refuge against inflation and monetary instability, but also as a strategic weapon in the hands of the great powers. The outcome of this battle remains uncertain, but one thing is certain: the era where bitcoin was only a speculative asset is indeed over.
