The Polkadot proposal is looking for a bitcoin reserve despite the timing of the market timing


A Polkadot management proposal to convert 500,000 dot tokens to the Bitcoin threshold (TBTC) for diversity and long-term stability has received mixed reactions from community members.

While some believe in Bitcoin (Btc) will serve as a fence against market uncertainty, others remain skeptical about timing amid all time high prices of BTC.

In early June, the Pseudonymous member of the Polkadot “hippiestk” community suggested the creation of a preliminary bitcoin strategic reserve over a year. In agreement from the community, the proposal will sell 500,000 Polkadot (Dot) tokens and re -enable it to BTC using a AVERAGING (DCA) dollar approach (DCA).

The BTC threshold (TBTC) is a non-custodial solution that uses threshold- (Elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) wallets, which can be used by Polkadot for maintaining decentralization, liquidity and transparency.

Planning in advance for market uncertainty

In the forum DiscussionWhile recognizing the poor DOT price performance in 2025, many members of the Polkadot community believe that a Bitcoin reserve will help the pillow continue to free-fall.

On the other hand, some have asked the timing of the proposal, considering that the DOT is currently trading at one of its lowest prices, while Bitcoin stands for more than $ 100,000. The proposal argued:

“I believe that the ‘DOT ATL, BTC ATH’ argument has mistaken the situation. This proposal is about rising risk and continuity of operational, not market or speculation.”

The advocate even warned that Polkadot would never be different if members remain futile in waiting for the perfect timing. In addition, the community has shown interest in varying in different classes and not just relying on bitcoin.

Weighing the benefits of Bitcoin Strategic Reserve

However, those who doubt are demanding further clarification.

“I just don’t see how we can do it and it really gives any value, short or long -term,” said a community member. “Even with amazing -wonderful produce, it is likely to do more harm than good to further downward pressure that we are already arguing from other DCAs mixed with a lack of interest.”

Member also urged the proposer involved a broader group of members in X before arriving at a final decision:

While the discussions are being conducted, the Polkadot community will eventually have to vote and end the creation of various strategic reserves.

The community has recently issued to Launch of a polkadot-branded non-custodial pay card, available in services that receive visa.
