#美联储比特币储备 In the current U.S. financial system, the Federal Reserve has not held Bitcoin reserves, and its policy explicitly prohibits doing so.

Why doesn't the Federal Reserve hold Bitcoin?

• Legal Restrictions: Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell stated, "We are not allowed to own Bitcoin," and even if someone proposes establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve, he does not seek to change the legal basis for it.

• Policy Positioning: The Federal Reserve is currently focused on monetary policy and bank system supervision and has not yet ventured into any form of cryptocurrency holdings.

Does the U.S. have a "Bitcoin reserve"?

Although the Federal Reserve does not hold Bitcoin, the U.S. government, through the Treasury, has indeed established related reserves:

• Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: In March 2025, the President signed an executive order requiring the Treasury to manage Bitcoin acquired through forfeitures (approximately 200,000 BTC) and to establish a digital asset inventory. This portion of Bitcoin will not be sold but will be held as a reserve asset for the long term.

• Legal Trends: Senator Cynthia Lummis proposed related legislation, suggesting that within the next five years, the U.S. purchase up to 1,000,000 BTC as part of the national Bitcoin reserve.

Summary Statement

Entity Bitcoin Holding Status

Federal Reserve No Bitcoin reserves; legal or policy restrictions on holding

U.S. Government (Treasury, etc.) Has a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" that centrally manages confiscated Bitcoin as national reserve assets

While the U.S. is indeed building a Bitcoin reserve system, this system falls under the jurisdiction of the Treasury Department and is unrelated to the Federal Reserve.
