The Bitcoin Reserve is funded exclusively with BTC forfeited from criminal or civil asset seizures, held by the Treasury—not purchased with taxpayer money .

placed in the Reserve will not be sold, but held as a store-of-value reserve asset, analogous to gold .
The Treasury, in coordination with the Commerce Department, is tasked with exploring “budget-neutral” ways to acquire more meaning additional acquisitions must not increase taxpayer costs .
