# Bitcoins Value Dips Amidst Reserve Buzz
Bitcoin’s value experienced a sharp decline directly following the U.S.’s initiation of its Bitcoin reserve initiative.
As per Lookonchain, the U.S. administration has already incurred a substantial loss of $16.14 billion because of the early disposal of a portion of its Bitcoin. Ouch!
This reserve is projected to encompass approximately 200,000 Bitcoins confiscated by the authorities.
Market conjecture indicates that the government will not be augmenting its Bitcoin assets, which is being cited as the cause of the cryptocurrency’s price collapse.
## Acquire on Speculation, Liquidate on Announcement
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan posits that the reserve’s introduction considerably diminishes the probability of the government outright prohibiting Bitcoin. That’s a positive aspect, correct?
Considering that numerous individuals anticipated the market to perceive the reserve’s establishment as a “sell the news” occurrence, the Bitcoin descent is not entirely unexpected.
Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley reminisces about a comparable sell-off subsequent to the debut of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in early 2024. History repeats itself!
Subsequent Bitcoin acquisitions might necessitate Congressional authorization, but the government will be exploring avenues to expand its Bitcoin holdings without drawing upon taxpayer resources. Prudent strategy.
This could also motivate other nations to emulate this approach and establish their own Bitcoin reserves. Envision a global landscape of national Bitcoin stockpiles! TruBit Collaborates with Morpho to Introduce DeFi Unearned Revenue in Latin America
Nevertheless, the foremost cryptocurrency swiftly attained an all-time peak shortly following the sell-off.
