Trump: US considers buying sizable Bitcoin amounts

Former President Donald Trump said the U.S. is considering buying a sizable amount of Bitcoin, reinforcing the idea of expanding the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The article says the U.S. already holds about 328,000 BTC, making it the largest sovereign Bitcoin holder, and that prior Bitcoin forfeitures helped fund the reserve. The statement is framed as supportive for Bitcoin, because additional official demand could tighten supply and improve market sentiment. The piece also notes prediction markets are pricing in a range of outcomes for Bitcoin by the end of 2026, with the news potentially boosting expectations for higher future prices. Broader market attention will focus on whether the government takes concrete action or advances related legislation and regulatory frameworks.
