U.S. authorities do not plan to buy bitcoins on the open market, and the strategic reserve of the first cryptocurrency will only be replenished through confiscated assets, said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in an interview with Fox Business. Scott Bessent called the expectations of American investors regarding high government demand for the first cryptocurrency unrealistic. The official stated that the government will adhere to a limited strategy for accumulating bitcoins.
According to estimates, the US authorities currently hold between 198,109 #ВТС and 207,189 BTC with a total value of over $23 billion. However, the report from the U.S. Marshals Service #сша (USMS) indicates only 29,000 bitcoins, as the total mass of bitcoin reserves previously included both confiscated and temporarily seized assets.#MarketPullback
