5 Facts about Bitcoin Adoption Countries: Driving BTC Price to New Levels – Says Samson Mow

Jakarta, Pintu News – After years of slow progress, Bitcoin adoption by countries is said to have entered a new, faster and more aggressive phase.

This statement was made by Samson Mow, founder of Jan3 and a strong advocate of BTC’s adoption as the country’s strategic reserve, on the What Bitcoin Did podcast, where he warned that “state-level FOMO” is imminent and pushing BTC prices to levels never seen before.

Here are 5 key things Mow revealed about the trend of Bitcoin adoption by countries and predictions of future price movements.

1. From “Gradually” to “Suddenly” – State FOMO Phase Begins Soon

Mow stated that the world is now at the end of the “gradually” phase and is entering the “suddenly” phase, referring to a famous quote in the financial world:

“Gradually, then suddenly.”

According to him, after years of skepticism, countries are now ready to compete to adopt Bitcoin, especially as a national strategic reserve. He said that “the big surge is just a matter of time”.

2. America already has a Bitcoin strategy in place, but it’s not buying yet

Although President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to establish the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, the United States government has yet to start actively buying BTC.

However, Mow emphasized that the US is “moving forward” through budget-neutral purchasing plans and the Bitcoin Act being drafted. Data from Bitbo shows that the US government currently holds 198,012 BTC – the largest amount compared to any other country.

3. US risks being overtaken by other countries like Pakistan

Samson Mow warned that if the US delays too long, countries like Pakistan could be first to take a strategic position on BTC.

According to Mow, it’s not a matter of “if”, but “when” these countries start FOMO and buy Bitcoin as a hedge against the US dollar and global instability.

4. Latin America predicted to be the epicenter of BTC adoption surge

Mow specifically mentions that the Latin American region is one of the most bullish on BTC adoption. He believes that countries like El Salvador are just the beginning of a new wave of national adoption of cryptocurrencies.

This is in line with Fidelity Digital Assets’ January 2025 report that predicts more central banks, sovereign wealth funds, and finance ministries will form strategic positions in Bitcoin.

5. Bitcoin price predictions are still “restrained”, but a surge could occur in 2026

Although many analysts are predicting a 2025 bull run, Mow admits that BTC prices still haven’t jumped significantly. BTC is currently trading at around $109,400 (around Rp1.82 billion, exchange rate $1 = Rp16,664), down 1.97% in the last 30 days.

But Mow and other analysts such as Matt Hougan (Bitwise) predict that 2026 could be the year of the price explosion, especially if country adoption starts to become massive. Even earlier, Mow said the $1 million per BTC target “could happen this year or next year.”

Conclusion

Bitcoin adoption by the state is no longer just a discourse. According to Samson Mow, we are already in the early phase of a major wave of state-level institutional FOMO. If this prediction is correct, the price of BTC could move much faster than current market estimates.
