Bitcoin is looking like the safest crypto bet leading up to the 2026 midterms. The Trump administration has designated it as a strategic reserve asset, and Trump allies recently launched American Bitcoin Corp (ABTC). Wall Street is also pushing it. The CFTC approved BTC perpetual futures in May, and BlackRock (BLK) is now recommending a 1% to 2% portfolio allocation. Since BTC is widely recognized as a commodity, it avoids the regulatory issues still dragging down altcoins like ETH, XRP, and HYPE.
