US crypto watchers are on edge. A new policy report is set to land before the month ends \u2013 and it could reshape how digital assets fit into the US government\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n
According to an X post by Bo Hines, the President\u2019s Digital Asset Working Group wrapped up its 180\u2011day study and will publish the findings on July 30.<\/a><\/p>\n Based on reports, the group was originally expected to unveil the report around July 22, following an executive order in January by US President Donald Trump. That order asked the team to sketch out how a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve might work.<\/p>\n\n The report should spell out how much Bitcoin<\/a> the US holds today. Those coins come from law enforcement seizures over recent years.<\/p>\n Policy wonks and investors alike want to know whether the federal stash is just a data point or the start of a bigger reserve plan.<\/p>\n Inside sources say the document will cover the nuts and bolts of setting up a national digital\u2011asset fund. It\u2019s likely to recommend using existing seized coins first.<\/p>\n Then it could suggest budget\u2011neutral methods\u2014like moving assets from other funds\u2014to buy more Bitcoin.<\/a><\/p>\n There\u2019s talk of tapping nearly 200,000\u202fBTC that authorities have captured so far. Security, storage and audit rules will also get attention, since a reserve needs tight guards and clear accounting.<\/p>\n The executive order hinted that the reserve would use only lawfully obtained coins. It didn\u2019t detail how long the government must hold them before selling, but some drafts mention a 20\u2011year holding period for stability\u2019s sake. If that sticks, it would mirror long\u2011term strategies used for gold and other strategic resources.<\/p>\n Congressional Moves On Crypto<\/p>\n On the Hill, Congress isn\u2019t sitting still. Trump recently signed the GENIUS Act<\/a>, which lays out rules for banks, credit unions and trusted non\u2011banks to issue stablecoins.<\/p>\n At the same time, the Senate Banking Committee just rolled out a crypto market structure bill. That proposal aims to decide who\u2019s in charge\u2014whether it\u2019s the SEC or the CFTC\u2014and how to protect everyday users.<\/p>\nStrategic Bitcoin Reserve Insights<\/h2>\n
