Fed's Role in Bitcoin Reserve Plans
Discussions arise on the establishment of a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve (BSR) if Trump decides to act quickly. The U.S. Treasury could use the Exchange Stabilization Fund to purchase Bitcoin via an executive order. Long-term stability requires congressional legislation to include Bitcoin in the Strategic Reserve Act. Both steps are Treasury-led, firmly placing the Federal Reserve outside of this decision-making process.
In another noteworthy development, blockchain project Trrue has secured a $10 million investment commitment from GEM Digital, despite GEM's background of fraudulent activity, raising concerns over transparency in reporting.
