A new bill introduced on Tuesday would direct the US Treasury to study whether a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve<\/a> (SBR) is technically and legally feasible, adding fresh momentum to a policy discussion that has picked up steam this year.<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order<\/a> in March that set up a framework for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a US Digital Asset Stockpile, but a detailed plan has yet to be released.<\/p>\n

According to Alex Thorn, head of firmwide research at Galaxy Digital, there is a high likelihood the US will formally announce an SBR by the end of this year \u2014 a view that some market participants say is too optimistic.<\/p>\n

\n

i still think there\u2019s a strong chance the U.S. government will announce this year that it has formed the strategic bitcoin reserve (SBR) and is formally holding BTC as a strategic asset<\/p>\n

market seems to be completely underpricing the likelihood of such an announcement<\/p>\n

Reports Have Disclosed Progress On Multiple Fronts<\/h2>\n

Based on reports, the administration\u2019s crypto liaison confirmed interest remains in moving forward, even if the topic received only a brief mention in a recent policy paper.<\/p>\n

\n

yes, i mean the U.S. government announcing, not bessent\u2019s offhand comment on tv<\/p>\n

that comment gave us hints of where they think the size of the reserve stands but is not a formal announcement of the SBR https:\/\/t.co\/ADxguLJ8vH<\/a><\/p>\n

On Aug. 6, Bitcoin Indonesia said it had met with officials to talk about how a state-level strategy could boost the economy. And on Wednesday, Kyrgyzstan advanced a bill aimed at creating a country-level crypto reserve \u2014 a signal that other governments are not standing still.<\/p>\n

Skeptics Say The Timeline Could Slip To 2026<\/h2>\n

Samson Mow, founder of Jan3, has urged faster action, warning in June that delays risk letting other nations secure large Bitcoin holdings first.<\/p>\n

Dave Weisburger, former chairman of CoinRoutes, said that it is more likely any formal US holding will take place in 2026.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He argued that an administration wanting to build a position would probably avoid public disclosure until an initial accumulation target is reached.<\/p>\n

Markets May Be Underpricing The Odds<\/p>\n

Thorn wrote on X<\/a> that the market appears to be underpricing the chance of a US announcement. That matters because a clear signal from the government that it holds Bitcoin as a strategic asset could change demand dynamics sharply.<\/p>\n

Some traders would see such a move as a bullish shock; others would worry about new rules, taxes, or custody frameworks that could follow.<\/p>\n

The secrecy around any acquisition plan also complicates market reads: if accumulation is underway but hidden, prices could react strongly when the government goes public.<\/p>\n

Global Moves Add Pressure On US Decision Makers<\/p>\n

Beyond timing and market effects, the story has a geopolitical edge. Countries in Central and Southeast Asia are actively discussing national crypto reserves, and officials in Jakarta have shown interest in using Bitcoin-related strategy as an economic tool.<\/p>\n

That international activity increases the political stakes for Washington. For now, the picture is mixed: executive orders and bills point to progress, while public comments from officials and analysts show real disagreement over when \u2014 or if \u2014 the US will formalize holdings.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $$116,058<\/a>, up 0.9% and 4.8% in the daily and weekly frames.<\/p>\n
