The US government's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, holding about 328,000 BTC, has lost nearly $20 billion in value since October 2025 due to a sharp decline in Bitcoin's price from its peak of around $124,000. Despite the value drop, the government has not sold any Bitcoin because an executive order prohibits liquidation of these seized assets, treating them like long-term reserves. This reserve, formed from law enforcement seizures, now stands at roughly $20.8 billion, still the largest government Bitcoin holding globally. Proposed legislation aims to increase transparency and maintain the no-purchase, no-sale policy, which removes the risk of government dumping from the market.
