✍🏻 Trump signed a decree to create a strategic reserve of #bitcoin , using the $BTC seized in judicial proceedings. It is estimated that the government holds around 198,000 #BTC.
💡 The order also authorizes the secretaries of the treasury and commerce to develop allegedly neutral strategies to acquire additional bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies with neutral budgets.
📉 Following this announcement, the price of the digital currency reacted downwards, falling to about 85,000 dollars per BTC because the market expected active purchases instead of just holding seized assets.
