US Government's Bitcoin Reserve Gains Traction Amid Escalating Russia Tensions
The US government's Bitcoin reserve is gaining traction as tensions with Russia escalate. A House proposal would strengthen the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and impose a 20-year holding rule, making seized Bitcoin a long-term government asset.
The current reserve relies on Bitcoin acquired through federal forfeiture, but this model is unpredictable and cannot guarantee a steady growth trajectory in US Bitcoin holdings.
A budget-neutral mechanism could change that. Treasury could deliberately accumulate Bitcoin without creating a new burden.
