The United States government, under Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, has confirmed holding between $15 billion and $20 billion worth of Bitcoin, establishing it as a strategic Treasury reserve asset. This Bitcoin reserve primarily consists of forfeited assets managed by the U.S. Marshals Service in coordination with the Department of Justice. The Treasury is exploring budget-neutral methods to acquire additional Bitcoin, aligning with former President Donald Trump's vision of positioning the U.S. as a global Bitcoin superpower. Industry figures such as Michael Saylor have acknowledged the official recognition of Bitcoin as a Treasury reserve asset. Meanwhile, American Bitcoin, supported by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., is negotiating to acquire a listed company in Japan and potentially Hong Kong to develop regional Bitcoin treasury vehicles.
