US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on 14 August that the federal government will halt sales of its bitcoin holdings, which he estimated are worth between $15 billion and $20 billion.<\/p>\n

Bessent added that the Treasury has no plans to buy cryptocurrency on the open market and will instead rely on coins seized in law-enforcement actions to maintain its reserve. He also said he sees little likelihood the government will revalue its gold stockpile.<\/p>\n

The move ends a policy of periodically liquidating confiscated bitcoin and could limit the supply of tokens coming from official auctions at a time when investors are closely monitoring government activity in digital assets.<\/p>\n
