US government bitcoin holdings still unclear a year after strategic reserve launch

More than a year after the United States launched a strategic bitcoin reserve fund, the government has not disclosed how much bitcoin it can actually count as reserves, fuelling controversy. Market estimates range widely, reflecting uncertainty over which coins have cleared final forfeiture and belong to the Treasury without legal obligations such as victim compensation. High-profile cases, including Bitfinex-related recoveries and a major civil forfeiture suit, have added to confusion.
