🇺🇸 U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Faces Legal Roadblocks, White House Confirms
The White House says work on a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is ongoing, though progress has slowed due to legal and coordination challenges across federal agencies. Speaking on the issue, the White House Crypto Council noted that groups such as the Department of Justice and the Office of Legal Counsel are still reviewing complex legal constraints tied to implementation.
The initiative originates from a March 2025 executive order signed by Donald Trump, which established plans for a Bitcoin reserve and a broader digital asset stockpile. Under the order, the U.S. is prohibited from selling any Bitcoin it already holds, and future additions are limited to assets obtained through seizures or forfeiture.
Critics argue that these restrictions significantly limit the reserve’s potential, as the framework does not allow for open-market Bitcoin purchases.
📌 Key points:
The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve remains a stated priority.
Legal interpretation disputes are slowing execution.
