The US may directly buy Bitcoin. ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood recently stated that cryptocurrencies played a significant role in Trump's victory in the presidential election and remain a key political issue in the upcoming election cycle.

Wood revealed an interesting detail: the US Bitcoin strategic reserve is currently mainly accumulated through assets confiscated by the justice department, but the ultimate goal is to accumulate 1 million coins. More importantly, the government may launch a direct purchase plan in the future to achieve this goal.

This Bitcoin strategic reserve framework was established through an executive order, with the Treasury responsible for specific operations and management. Interestingly, it is positioned as a national strategic asset similar to gold reserves, reflecting a subtle shift in Bitcoin's role in national asset allocation. From judicial confiscation to proactive purchasing, this transition itself is worth noting.

Wait, is the US government really going to start hoarding coins? If that happens, altcoins are doomed; it's all about Bitcoin in the end.

Whoa, is the US government really about to get involved? This will directly boost Bitcoin's legitimacy, even securing a position as a national reserve asset. --- Once Cathie Wood said that, I knew what was coming next... Political chips turning into strategic assets, that's a bit outrageous. --- Never received an active buy, does anyone else see what this shift really means? It’s an acknowledgment of its value. --- Aiming for 1 million coins sounds pretty ambitious, but I wonder if it can really reach that number... Can the Treasury hold steady? --- Relying on judicial confiscation for accumulation, can that efficiency keep up? They might just start buying directly, large orders could shake the market. --- Giving Bitcoin the same treatment as gold reserves, I really didn’t expect this day to come so soon. --- It feels like this game is being played quite deeply, with political issues plus a double buff from national assets, the story ahead might be even more intense.

Damn, the government officially announced the purchase of coins? Now the national team is really in the game haha --- 1 million BTC, is the US about to buy up the entire crypto market? --- No, I’ve never received any proactive purchase signals. This change is too obvious... Bitcoin is really becoming a national asset --- Cathie Wood is reliable, she’s been bullish on this wave for a long time --- Moving the gold reserves to BTC, it feels like the entire game rules have changed --- Wait, if this is implemented, will Bitcoin skyrocket in the short term... --- I’d just laugh if the US government buys coins, they used to suppress everything, now it’s all good --- 1 million coins, how much money would that take... Just thinking about it is exciting

honestly this is wild... so they're basically gonna treat btc like gold now? let me break this down for my students—this is the regulatory capture moment we've been waiting for, fundamentally speaking. govt buying instead of just confiscating is literally the paradigm shift nobody talks about enough

Amazing, the United States has directly included Bitcoin into its national reserves. This changes everything. The government is all in, retail investors are still debating whether to buy or not. 1 million coins, this pace is incredible. Wood's words are essentially an official announcement that Bitcoin will become the "digital gold." Never received proactive purchases, indicating that the higher-ups have shifted their stance. This Trump effect is really not just talk. With the US government leading the way, who else dares to doubt? But the question is, can they really buy 1 million coins? Is the market enough? It feels like a signal, with more big moves to come. Another "national-level asset" added, and Bitcoin's narrative has been upgraded again.

1 million tokens, finally officially entering the market. Government procurement vs retail investors, hold tight, the race track is now divided. Private key management really needs to be taken seriously.
