The US government currently holds around 203,000 bitcoins, worth around $11.9 billion. The latest deposit comes on the heels of presidential candidate Donald Trump’s pledge that the US government will not sell any more coins if he is elected later this year.
Meanwhile, BlackRock’s IBIT reported net cash flow of over $33 million on Wednesday, despite notable outflows from Grayscale’s GBTC and Fidelity’s FBTC. It’s worth noting that Morgan Stanley disclosed its purchase of BlackRock’s IBIT for $187 million.

The announcement comes after it was revealed that the central banks of Norway and Switzerland have already purchased more than 1.5 million shares of MicroStrategy stock combined in the recent past.
