The White House has confirmed the continued operation of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve despite its omission from a recent report by the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets. Presidential Advisor Bo Hines affirmed the reserve’s active status and reiterated the government’s commitment to Bitcoin accumulation and infrastructure development.
Hines emphasized Bitcoin’s distinctive position in financial markets, stating it is ‘in a class of its own.’ While the exact size of government holdings remains undisclosed, independent analyses suggest the United States currently controls approximately 198,000 BTC, valued at roughly $2.35 billion.
The reserve was formally established through an executive order signed by President Trump in March. Officials confirmed ongoing plans to grow the initiative, aiming to strengthen the nation’s position in global digital financial innovation.
