The Trump administration has reaffirmed its strategic focus on Bitcoin by backing a $23 billion Bitcoin reserve plan, despite little mention in its latest digital asset report. White House Digital Assets Head Bo Hines confirmed that the program is active, stating, “We have it, it’s been established.”
Current estimates suggest the U.S. government holds around 198,000 BTC, worth over $23 billion, primarily obtained through law enforcement seizures. Hines emphasized Bitcoin's role as a sovereign asset, describing it as “a class of its own.” He also hinted at forthcoming infrastructure to manage these digital reserves.
SEC Unveils Landmark Crypto Reforms
At the America First Policy Institute, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins introduced sweeping crypto reforms aimed at redefining token classification and enhancing regulatory transparency. Calling it a “once in a generation” opportunity, Atkins said these reforms would accelerate institutional crypto adoption by reducing regulatory ambiguity.
The SEC reforms align with the broader Trump administration policy shift toward embracing digital assets. The crypto working group within the administration has also proposed a federal trading framework, seeking regulatory unity between the SEC and CFTC.
Whales Accumulate, but $9B BTC Sell-Off Adds Pressure
On-chain data shows a tug-of-war between bullish whale accumulation and bearish liquidation events. Analytics platform Santiment reports that whales acquired nearly 1% of the total BTC supply in just four months, with 30,000 BTC purchased over the past 48 hours alone.
Meanwhile, a Satoshi-era whale sold off 80,000 BTC (worth $9 billion) through Galaxy Digital, adding volatility to the market. Despite this, Glassnode reports that 97% of Bitcoin holders are still in profit, reinforcing long-term bullish sentiment.
Ethereum, Solana, PEPE, and WIF have also seen increased whale interest. SharpLink Gaming recently invested $780 million in ETH, reflecting continued institutional diversification into crypto assets.
