That work is now near completion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">He further noted that \u201cin the next few weeks, we\u2019ll be making a big announcement,\u201d highlighting how the administration believes it can take a \u201cbig step forward from the executive branch side\u201d without needing to wait for congressional action. A formal bill will still be needed to permanently lock the policy in place and insulate it from reversal by future administrations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The Strategic <span>Bitcoin<\/span> Reserve, established via executive order, currently holds seized <span>bitcoin<\/span> rather than newly purchased holdings. Witt\u2019s comments suggest the imminent announcement will focus on clarifying the reserve\u2019s operational structure and legal footing, a framework that could eventually support active accumulation if Congress follows through with legislation. Whether the announcement will include specific plans for growing the reserve through open market purchases remains the key question for the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight:400\">A Conference Defining the Industry\u2019s Regulatory Moment<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Witt\u2019s announcement is the latest in a series of high-profile policy signals coming out of <span>Bitcoin<\/span> 2026.
