US Government Expands Bitcoin Stockpile through Strategic Reserve Initiative

The US government has been actively expanding its Bitcoin stockpile, with the latest transfer of funds from a Coinbase Prime address. According to data from Arkham Intelligence, the government's total holding now stands at around 328,000 BTC, valued at over $22 billion.

This move is part of a broader initiative by the US administration to drive digital asset innovation in the country while ensuring proper federal custody and control over forfeited cryptocurrencies. The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, established by President Donald Trump through an executive order in 2025, serves as a pledge that federal authorities will never sell Bitcoin.

The recent transfer consisted of approximately 2.438 BTC, valued at around $177,000, confiscated from Glenn Olivio. This is not the first instance of such a transfer, with similar movements recorded in past cases involving funds associated with Ross Ulbricht and others.
