Cathie Wood, founder of ARK Invest, suggests that the US government may begin directly purchasing Bitcoin to bolster the national strategic Bitcoin reserve, rather than relying solely on assets seized by law enforcement. In a recent episode of the "Bitcoin Brainstorm" podcast, Wood pointed out that while the Trump administration established a national Bitcoin reserve through executive order, the reserve's source has so far been limited to confiscated BTC, with no market purchases. "The initial goal was to hold 1 million Bitcoins, so I think they'll eventually start buying," Wood stated. She believes that Trump's continued focus on cryptocurrency under midterm election pressure is beneficial for the strategic Bitcoin reserve. On one hand, Trump and his family's interests in the crypto industry are deepening; on the other hand, the crypto community played a significant role in his presidential victory. "He doesn't want to be a 'lame duck president,' he wants one or two more productive years in office, and he sees crypto as a path to the future," Wood said. The report states that the Trump administration has signed several executive orders to establish a Bitcoin reserve and a crypto asset inventory, and has formed a crypto and AI task force led by David Sacks to promote industry legislation, including the GENIUS Act (stablecoin legislation).
