Peter Schiff is looking to grow his Bitcoin reserve after showing concerns that the total worth of Bitcoin in his entire strategic Bitcoin reserve is still under $5000.
Schiff revealed that his Bitcoin reserve, which was inspired by the U.S. government’s approach to acquiring assets without additional costs, has been solely built on donation since it was created.
Following his post, Schiff dropped the wallet address to his Bitcoin reserve, offering to match every Bitcoin donation he receives today, thereby doubling the donations received from supporters.
