U.S. Halts Expansion of Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Amid $15–20 Billion Holdings
The U.S. has established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve funded through legal forfeiture assets, not taxpayer money.
- Additional Bitcoin will be acquired using budget-neutral methods.
- The priority is to halt the sale of seized Bitcoin.
- Current Bitcoin holdings are valued at approximately $15–20 billion.
- This initiative follows President Trump’s March 2025 executive order.
- No plans to expand the reserve were announced in a recent interview with Bessent.
