U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserves may announce details in the coming weeks

Trump signed an executive order in early March this year proposing to establish a national strategic reserve of Bitcoin and other tokens, and requested the Treasury Secretary to submit an evaluation report on the legality and feasibility of the plan within 60 days. With less than two weeks remaining until the 60-day deadline set by Trump's executive order, this means that more details about the US Bitcoin reserve will soon be disclosed. Market expectations for this may be one of the important catalysts for the recent rebound in cryptocurrency. In addition, any comments questioning the independence of the Federal Reserve have also had a positive spillover effect on Bitcoin.
