The New York Fed’s Sept. 2 analysis separates currency choices from reserve-size changes, leaving sovereign Bitcoin demand unproven.
- A New York Fed analysis indicates that the declining share of the US dollar in global foreign-exchange reserves is due to changes in reserve sizes and currency choices, not necessarily a broad retreat from the dollar.
- This distinction is crucial for assessing potential sovereign demand for Bitcoin, as a shrinking dollar share does not inherently prove central bank buying or identify where reserves are being diversified.
- Establishing sovereign Bitcoin demand requires explicit evidence such as disclosed allocations, funding sources, and executed purchases, which are not provided by reserve share data alone.
