White House Adviser Signals Bitcoin Reserve 'Breakthrough' Tease; BTC at $76,122
White House crypto adviser Patrick Witt hinted at a 'breakthrough' and major announcement within weeks on the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve's framework at Bitcoin 2026, amid Treasury limits on new buys. This builds on Trump's March 6, 2025 executive order consolidating ~328,372 BTC ($25B, 1.56% supply) from forfeitures and barring sales, with Rep. Nick Begich set to reintroduce the ARMA bill for up to 1M BTC acquisitions over five years via budget-neutral methods. Institutional momentum grows as IBIT options surpass Deribit open interest with higher volatility, supporting BTC's hold near $76,122 despite near-term uncertainty and 22% odds of reserve operation before 2027.
