Odaily Planet Daily News: US Senator Cynthia Lummis posted on the X platform on January 6th, questioning the legality of the US government still handling Bitcoin assets. She stated that Donald Trump had explicitly instructed that the Bitcoin held by the government should be retained and used to establish the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), rather than continuing to sell. Against the backdrop of other countries increasing their Bitcoin holdings, if the US continues to sell related assets, it will weaken its strategic position, and she is “deeply concerned” about this. Previous news: The US Department of Justice violated executive orders by selling BTC paid to Samourai developers.
