The United States has finally created a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) through an executive order, consolidating BTC from seized funds. However, the move has received a negative reaction in the crypto community. Bitcoin advocate Samson Mow addressed concerns and stated that new BTC will be acquired through "budget neutral" methods like issuing Bitcoin Bonds or selling gold. Mow believes that this reserve places Bitcoin on par with gold, increasing the race for nation-state adoption. Additionally, the SBR will allow for an audit of the U.S. government's Bitcoin holdings, potentially prompting them to buy more. However, the creation of the SBR has not generated excitement and the price of Bitcoin and other altcoins has slumped.
