The United States establishes a Bitcoin war reserve, but will not actively purchase additional Bitcoin using taxpayer money

Trump has established a Bitcoin war reserve as scheduled, but the White House cryptocurrency leader revealed that 'the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Commerce have the authority to develop budget-neutral strategies to acquire additional Bitcoin, provided that these strategies do not impose incremental costs on American taxpayers. Additionally, the establishment of a U.S. digital asset reserve will consist of digital assets other than Bitcoin seized in criminal or civil proceedings; apart from assets obtained through the seizure process, the government will not purchase additional assets for the digital asset reserve.' This has suppressed the price of Bitcoin. Previously, there were considerable expectations that the U.S. would purchase additional Bitcoin to supplement reserves.
