Patrick Witt, head of the White House Crypto Council, stated that the United States is still moving forward with the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve, but some "less prominent legal provisions" are slowing down the process. Currently, multiple government agencies, including the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Office of the Legal Counsel (OLC), are discussing the legal and regulatory authority issues related to the strategic Bitcoin reserve. Witt pointed out that while the arrangements appear straightforward on the surface, differences in the legal authority of different agencies complicate the process at the implementation level, and related issues are still being coordinated. Furthermore, the strategic Bitcoin reserve remains a current policy priority. Previously, in March 2025, Trump signed an executive order establishing a "strategic Bitcoin reserve" and a "digital asset reserve pool," but this order only allows the inclusion of BTC seized by the judiciary in the reserve and does not authorize the government to purchase Bitcoin through the open market, sparking dissatisfaction among some members of the Bitcoin community. Cointelegraph points out that despite the policy controversy, the US government is still exploring potential implementation paths that are compliant and do not increase the fiscal deficit.
