US Embraces Bitcoin: New Treasury Reserve Asset Status

The United States has officially recognized Bitcoin as a Treasury Reserve Asset, marking a significant move towards solidifying its position in the global cryptocurrency landscape. The US government will incorporate Bitcoin acquired through forfeited assets, not direct purchases, into this reserve. The estimated 200,000 BTC currently held represent approximately $15-$20 billion and reflect the administration’s ambition to become a Bitcoin superpower. This recognition aims to stabilize market dynamics without directly affecting supply.
