On August 14, CoinWorld reported: U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent: It is unlikely that we will reassess the U.S. gold reserve holdings. The value of Bitcoin reserves is approximately $15 billion to $20 billion, and we will stop selling Bitcoin holdings. We will retain gold as a means of value storage. He also stated that there has been no call for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates to 1.5%. A rate cut may start with 25 basis points and accelerate, believing there is a range for further cuts. In addition, all options for selling shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are being explored.
