Trump still wants to buy $BTC for the US reserve, says ex-White House adviser Patrick Witt, but so far it's been built from seized coins "Patrick Witt just bringing up the fact that we would still love to add more Bitcoin for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, but we have legal and custody issues and we need a way to do it in a budget-neutral manner from Congress." "This is only interesting because we haven't heard about it in quite a while. Now it is at least back on the menu. There's nothing being announced here as far as plans for the US government to actually buy Bitcoin." "I don't really understand why the US government would actually buy Bitcoin. Certainly not with money that's being printed, especially when the US government can just go all around the world, prosecute criminals that have nothing to do with the US and take their Bitcoin." "That's how our strategic Bitcoin reserve has been built so far. You just take them. Those are ours now, right?"
