Recently, discussions around government Bitcoin reserves have remained hot. In March this year, the U.S. government announced a notable move—adding approximately 210,000 confiscated Bitcoins (currently worth about $18 billion) to the national strategic reserve, rather than auctioning them into the market as in the past. This decision directly changed supply-side expectations.
On the surface, this move's symbolic significance far exceeds its actual impact. Reclassifying Bitcoin from a 'problematic asset' to an officially recognized reserve tool sets a benchmark for global institutions and governments—if even the U.S. is not selling, what does that imply? In the long term, this can indeed ease supply-side uncertainty and reduce the anxiety of massive sell-off pressures hanging overhead.
But the reality is, without fresh capital flowing into the market, price support remains limited. Currently, Bitcoin is oscillating around 87k, and this sideways trend by year-end is within expectations—the entire market is waiting for next year's policies and actual allocation actions to take effect. In the long run, the confirmation effect of policy will gradually manifest, while short-term liquidity-driven factors remain the main variables.
Is the path of government reserves going to continue expanding or maintain the status quo? The answer to this question will directly influence market expectations in the coming years.

Not selling Bitcoin in the US indeed has significant symbolic meaning, but at the 87k level, it has been consolidating for so long. Honestly, no one is willing to buy in.
Wait, will the government really continue to accumulate? I think that's the real key.
$18 billion just sitting in the account, it sounds a bit outrageous no matter how you look at it.
Policy implementation next year? I think I'll wait and see; in the short term, liquidity is probably the key.
But on the other hand, the US's recent moves have definitely set an example for other countries. Maybe more and more will follow suit later.

210,000 tokens locked, liquidity exhausted, this is the current situation. Wait until the funds actually enter the market; even the most beautiful signals are just a blank check.

It's one thing for the US to accumulate Bitcoin, but the key question is whether other countries will follow suit. If everyone really starts hoarding, that would be a true bull market signal.

The signal that the US is not selling is indeed intriguing, but with 87k sideways for so long, we still have to wait until next year's policies are implemented. Symbolic significance alone, even if it's small, is still meat.

Well... to put it simply, policy favorable conditions are good, but without money entering the market, it's still pointless.

This round of US operations indeed changed the narrative, but the way 87k is consolidating looks a bit dull.
---
The key still depends on whether the government continues to hoard or not next year; this is what truly influences the subsequent trend.
---
A reserve of 18 billion USD sounds intimidating, but when liquidity dries up, everything is useless.
---
Long-term is long-term, but what I care about is whether we can break through once this week.
---
I agree that symbolic significance is important, but honestly, investment still depends on cash flow. Without it, it's just a story.

The government's coin hoarding has given institutions confidence, which is beyond doubt. However, short-term market movements still rely on capital injection.
