White House: priority is accounting for and securing existing bitcoin, no purchase strategy yet

  • —White House priority is securing and accounting for the government's existing bitcoin
  • —No strategy or timeline for expanding the reserve has been set
  • —Any new BTC purchases must be budget-neutral for taxpayers
Why it matters: The signal that Washington is in no rush to buy BTC on the open market cools expectations of government-reserve demand.
