#比特币战略储备 When I saw this news, my first reaction was: history is repeating its old tricks again.

In November 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice sold 57.55 Bitcoins through Coinbase Prime — this detail alone is worth pondering. 57 Bitcoins, worth $6.367 million, seems like a routine asset disposal, but it reflects a deeper game behind the scenes. Executive Order 14233 signed by Trump mandates the confiscation of Bitcoin into the national strategic reserve. This is not just talk; it’s a policy signal. Yet, the DOJ’s action, to some extent, continues to operate independently even after the issuance of this order.

Thinking back to the early 2020s, during several cycles, we saw too many swings in government attitude — from demonization to tentative acceptance, from regulatory suppression to strategic recognition. The U.S. government’s changing stance on Bitcoin essentially redefines what constitutes a national asset and what is worth preserving. From confiscating smuggler’s gold to now considering establishing a Bitcoin reserve, behind this is an evolution in the understanding of value storage forms.

But this violation of protocol precisely shows that policy consensus is still fragile. Once an executive order is issued, there can be "misunderstandings" at the implementation level. This is not the first time in history — there is always a gap between institutional design and actual execution. For long-term holders, this is a reminder: no matter how perfect the legal framework, it still takes time to truly solidify.

The 57 Bitcoins have already been liquidated, but the significance of this event lies not in those coins, but in revealing that the U.S. approach to Bitcoin’s strategic status is still in the exploratory stage.
