US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently made it clear to Fox Business that the government will not be purchasing Bitcoin to add to its existing reserves.
“We will not buy,” Bessent said, adding that the strategic Bitcoin reserve, put in place by President Donald Trump in March, will only be increased through legal seizures.
For months, the Trump administration has been touting the possibility of the government purchasing Bitcoin. This prospect excited investors, anticipating both the potential legitimacy it could provide to the cryptocurrency in the eyes of the government and the potential deflationary impact of large-scale purchases on Bitcoin's price. However, Bessent's latest statement has put that hope on hold for now.

$3.7 billion “data center power equipment prepayments” abandoned! What did "the most active buyer of gas turbines", SoftBank, see?

The CFO admitted that SoftBank placed orders before the project plan was finalized, and is now conducting a comprehensive review of its procurement strategy. "The most aggressive purchaser of gas turbines has now written off the deposit in this way."
