🚨 BREAKING: U.S. WILL NOT SELL SAMOURAI WALLET BITCOIN — TO BE ADDED TO STRATEGIC RESERVE
A senior executive official under President Trump has confirmed that the U.S. government has not sold any Bitcoin forfeited in the Samourai Wallet case — and will not sell it.
Instead, the seized Bitcoin will be transferred into the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
This marks a major shift in how the United States treats confiscated digital assets.
For years, seized Bitcoin was auctioned off into the open market.
That policy is now changing.
What this signals:
• Bitcoin is no longer viewed solely as a seized asset
• The U.S. is transitioning from seller to holder
• Confiscated BTC is being treated as a strategic reserve asset
• Supply pressure from government liquidations is reduced
This is not a symbolic move.
By choosing to retain Bitcoin rather than liquidate it, the U.S. government is implicitly acknowledging BTC’s role as a strategic, sovereign-level asset — similar to gold or foreign currency reserves.
Markets don’t move on opinions.
They move on policy.
And this policy just changed.
