US STOPS BITCOIN SALES: STRATEGIC RESERVE MOVE!
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the government has decided to stop the sale of its Bitcoin assets. This decision was made with the aim of maintaining market stability and pursuing a new strategy in digital asset management. Bessent stated that the current Bitcoin reserves are valued at 15-20 billion dollars and consist mostly of assets seized from illegal activities (CoinGape, 2025).
The government will not buy Bitcoin from the open market but will expand its strategic reserve with seized assets. Bessent said, “We will stop the sales and grow our reserve with the seized Bitcoin” (Bitcoin News, 2025).
This step is seen as a turning point in the US's cryptocurrency policy and has led to short-term fluctuations in Bitcoin prices (Forbes, 2025). Experts predict that the reduction of selling pressure will support the market in the long term.
As a result, this decision reflects the US's view of digital assets as equivalent to traditional reserves and may impact the global crypto ecosystem.
