But I think its not late, but maybe the strategic advantage is narrowing.

Hedging sanctions risk: Cryptocurrency in central bank reserves

The thesis of the article is that central banks might start putting more of their reserves into assets like gold and Bitcoin.
Gold is already a common choice, and gold price appreciation is a symptom of that, but Bitcoin is gaining interest because it's decentralised, making it much harder for other governments to freeze. The study found that countries facing high risks of sanctions might keep as much as 10-25% of their reserves in Bitcoin as a form of "insurance".
CB's using Bitcoin to save themselves from other CB's, how ironic.

Although the matter is ironic now, it is extremely true because sooner or later, central banks will be forced to reserve Bitcoin because there is no other way. This is actually the success of Bitcoin. Despite all the adversities, decentralized technology has not lost to the big powers. In this respect, Satoshi's Bitcoin has really succeeded. Those who deliberately imposed sanctions on different countries are also unable to control it today. To me, this big change in the economy will bring welfare to the people. There is a saying - Rain in the monsoon is inevitable. Similarly, Bitcoin adoption by institutions is inevitable. Institutions will accept Bitcoin sooner or later, it cannot be stopped.
