🚨Officially: The U.S. government will not purchase any additional Bitcoin!
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Biesen announced on August 14, 2025, that the government will not acquire any new Bitcoin to bolster its strategic reserve, confirming that the reserve will rely solely on previously seized digital assets, which are estimated to be worth between $15 and $20 billion, with a complete halt on selling those assets indefinitely. In another context, a notable news item emerged in the crypto world at the beginning of the year when U.S. President Donald Trump met with Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, at the Mar-a-Lago resort in January 2025, in a meeting that Garlinghouse described as a “strong start to 2025,” reflecting the U.S. administration's openness to dialogue with leaders in the digital currency industry and the potential for more flexible support towards XRP and the crypto sector in general.
