Washington Just Became a Crypto Maxi
The quietest and most powerful whale in the entire market is not a hedge fund or a billionaire. It is the United States Government.
Official reports confirm the US now holds an astonishing $17.8 billion in crypto assets, placing it among the largest sovereign holders globally. This is not an investment portfolio; it is almost entirely seized assets derived from enforcement actions—the digital spoils of justice.
The implication is profound. When the government holds this much
$BTC and $ETH, its internal stake in the infrastructure’s stability increases, whether they admit it or not. Every policy decision regarding digital assets now carries the weight of a multi-billion dollar balance sheet.
Future sales of these massive blocks will always be a market risk, but the sheer size of the treasury holding fundamentally legitimizes the asset class on a structural level. The institutionalization of crypto is complete when the state itself becomes an involuntary HODLer.
Not financial advice.
