Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s initial remarks about the US government halting Bitcoin purchases briefly rattled markets, causing a 3.7% drop in BTC prices. However, a later clarification confirmed the administration’s commitment to building a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) using forfeited assets and exploring budget-neutral acquisition methods. Senator Cynthia Lummis reinforced the need for the BITCOIN Act, which proposes a structured five-year purchase program and gold revaluation to fund the SBR without new debt. The episode highlighted the ongoing policy debate around expanding the US Bitcoin reserve while maintaining fiscal discipline.

Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline following the US Treasury’s announcement that it would not purchase additional Bitcoin for its reserve, opting instead to rely on confiscated assets. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s remarks reversed earlier market optimism, leading to a sell-off that erased intraday gains and triggered $450 million in liquidations. The Treasury’s stance removes a predictable buyer from the market, potentially increasing price volatility. Meanwhile, Bessent linked balance-sheet plans to rising tariff revenues, which could fund other asset strategies. The news comes amid broader economic signals, including a 3.3% year-on-year rise in the Producer Price Index.
