The U.S. Treasury Department has likened Bitcoin to "digital gold" and emphasized its use as a store of value in the decentralized finance ecosystem. The department acknowledges the rapid growth of digital assets but notes that their market value remains low compared to traditional assets. Adoption of digital assets is primarily for investment purposes, with speculative interest driving market expansion. Bitcoin's role as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty is growing, and efforts are being made to leverage blockchain technology for financial market improvements. Despite the rise of digital assets, demand for Treasury securities remains intact.
