Proposal to create Jupiter strategic BTC and SOL reserve to attract investor capital into the JUP token.

JUP has everything going for it already. Smart people are allocated to JUP. However, to create that spark JUP needs to reach ATH’s, JUP needs to be on the SOL and BTC train.

Since many people around the world now regard stacking Bitcoin and Solana as bullish (see recent success of MSTR, CEP, and CYFRF) it would be beneficial to the JUP DAO to start its own reserve in BTC and Solana.

My proposal is for the JUP DAO to investigate the benefits of creating a Jupiter Strategic BTC and SOL reserve along with continued JUP buybacks.

The DAO would determine the appropriate allocations for each asset.

The goal is to attract investor capital into the fastest growing defi giant on the fastest, most scalable blockchain while building a solid financial foundation for Jupiter.

Thanks for reading.

Really thoughtful proposal, and I appreciate the intent behind it — especially the desire to attract long-term capital and provide more legitimacy and backing to the JUP token through a BTC/SOL reserve.

That said, I think we may be looking at the wrong layer of the problem. The core issue is not that investors don’t feel “safe” because of lack of reserves. It’s that the JUP token lacks meaningful utility or integration within the ecosystem it’s meant to govern. A token backed by BTC might sound attractive from a market optics perspective, but it doesn’t solve the structural emptiness at the heart of JUP — the fact that holders can’t do much with it beyond governance… and even that is very limited.

If the goal is to attract capital and long-term engagement, we should focus on mechanisms that build real value around the token:

Protocol fee-sharing models for stakers

Access perks or benefits within Jupiter products

Builder or integration incentives for using JUP in new tools

Treasury yield programs that funnel returns back to stakers

Cross-DAO participation programs or governance token swaps with aligned protocols

In short: let’s build an economy around JUP, not just a vault behind it.

Also, and importantly — there’s currently no DAO structure tasked with reviewing proposals like this in any official or methodical way. Just posting on Jupresear.ch doesn’t create enough friction or structured debate. There’s no guarantee this idea will even be read by the right people, let alone considered for a vote.

That’s why we urgently need to form something like a DAO Council or a Core Governance Working Group. A body of committed, high-stake members who can gather proposals like this, refine them, stress-test them with the community, and help guide them into formal consideration. Without that, we’ll keep having good ideas floating in the void with no path forward.

Appreciate the work you put into this. Let’s keep iterating — but let’s also start building the foundation for a DAO that can act on ideas like this.

Good proposal though I will be looking forward seeing Jup reserve from alot of institutions to other proposed reserve.

oooooo, 25% of litter box in BTC?
