Analyst outlines strategies for the U.S. to buy more Bitcoin

Analyst Jiang Jinze mentioned several ways the U.S. could purchase Bitcoin for its strategic reserve in the event it runs out of seized BTC. Analyst and Muse Labs founder Jiang Jinze has pointed out that there is a possibility the U.S. would still need to acquire more Bitcoin (BTC) moving forward. According to him, only 100,000 BTC out of the total owned by U.S. government can be considered “real reserves.” This is because nearly 50% of the confiscated BTC must be returned to Bitfinex. In January 2025, the U.S. federal…

Assets for the non-bitcoin stockpile will be any crypto that the government otherwise seizes. That reversed days of bullish momentum fueled by Trump’s earlier comments at including tokens XRP, ADA,…

The nicer stance toward the country’s neighbor to the south was…
