White House Crypto Advisor Hints at 'Big Announcement' on Trump's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in Coming Weeks

Patrick Witt said the administration has reached a breakthrough and will move from the executive branch side within weeks, with lawmakers also pushing legislation.

  • Speaking Monday in Las Vegas, Patrick Witt of the Council announced a major Strategic Bitcoin Reserve update is coming within weeks, citing a breakthrough on next steps.
  • President Trump created the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in March 2025 via executive order, capitalizing it with roughly 200,000 BTC from asset forfeiture proceedings and prohibiting sales.
  • Witt said the administration has spent the period since the reserve's creation working through legal interpretations to solidify and protect Bitcoin held on the government balance sheet.
  • Rep. Nick Begich is reintroducing the American Reserves Modernization Act, which directs the government to accumulate up to 1 million Bitcoin over five years using budget-neutral strategies.
  • Executive orders are reversible, driving a push in Congress to enshrine the reserve in statute through the Mined in America Act introduced by Senators Lummis and Cassidy.
