Back to the original thread topic, the NATIONAL Bitcoin Strategy.
Today Bessent made some comment about the proposed Bitcoin Strategic Reserve:
US Treasury Secretary Bessent says government won't buy bitcoin for strategic reserve but will retain seized assets as crypto markets see red- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a television interview that the U.S. would not be buying bitcoin for its strategic reserve.
- However, he reiterated that the government would continue to use confiscated assets to build it up and would not sell bitcoin currently in the reserve, valuing it at $15 to $20 billion
He poured a bucket of ice cold water on the BSR expectation, that hunter at a proper buying campaign to finance the Bitcoin holding.
I guess Seator Lummis will comment on this in the next hours.
Yep.. there are a few ways that natiion-states, institutions and/or individuals can fuck up in their bitcoin accumulation strategy and one of them is to sell too much too soon, like Germany did last year. Another thing is failing/refusing to buy bitcoin and/or taking other seemingly whimpy bitcoin accumulation measures.
The US Government seems a bit lost in their choice to talk out of both sides of their mouth.. but yeah, governments tend to be pretty good in regards to their talking out of both sides of their mouth.
Bessent declaration Part II.
He was counseled and went back on track of the old message about Bitcoin Strategic Reserve:

Budget Neutrality is key here.
But that has actually always been the case.
Yep... better to have clarifications, sine it seems that they had already worked on making it clear that they were wanting to accumulated bitcoin, but yeah, who knows. I am not going to count on them to be consistent in their ongoing likely (perhaps inevitable) double-speak.
And, who cares? They can do what they want. Sure it is better if they are friendly rather than hostile in regards to potentially pumping our bags... yet in the end, I doubt that it matters too much in regards to our own individual needs to both accumulate bitcoin and to protect our own BTC holdings.
