Trump still wants to buy bitcoin for U.S. reserve but legal barriers block open-market purchases.

Former White House crypto adviser Patrick Witt revealed that President Donald Trump remains interested in buying bitcoin for the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. However, legal obstacles exist due to a rider in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that bars outright open-market purchases, making such acquisitions potentially illegal without Congressional approval. With Democrats controlling both chambers of Congress after the 2026 midterms, passing legislation to formalize or expand the reserve faces significant challenges. The reserve currently relies on executive orders, which future administrations could easily reverse, leaving its future uncertain amid a tough political climate.
