U.S. officials shot down speculation about the Samourai Wallet developer's forfeited Bitcoin being liquidated against Trump's directives. The government's stance is clear: seized $BTC holdings won't be dumped. Instead, the Department of Justice confirmed these assets will be channeled into the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. This move underscores the administration's commitment to building a federal crypto reserve and adds another layer to the evolving relationship between U.S. policy and digital assets. It's a signal that Washington is treating Bitcoin as a strategic holding, not just seized contraband.
