Sign InPatrick Witt of the President’s Council of Advisors confirmed that the U.S. administration has cleared the legal hurdles required to establish the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. According to reports, the reserve currently holds an estimated 328,372 BTC, representing roughly 1.6% of the global supply, accumulated through law enforcement seizures. An executive order signed in March 2025 further prohibits the Treasury from selling any of these digital assets.
This move comes as the U.S. seeks to solidify its leadership in digital assets, with current holdings valued at billions of dollars per market data. In comparison to major institutional players, the U.S. reserve size surpasses the holdings of entities like MicroStrategy, which held approximately 214,400 BTC in early 2024 according to prior earnings reports. Experts suggest this shift transforms Bitcoin from a seized asset into a sovereign strategic tool.
Traders are closely monitoring BTC price levels as the market awaits the formal announcement. According to the economic calendar, upcoming U.S. inflation data, including the Producer Price Index (PPI) which hit 1.4% on May 13, 2026, may influence risk appetite in the crypto market. Further comments from Fed officials, such as speeches by Kashkari and Logan, will be critical in assessing liquidity and its impact on alternative assets.
