A significant policy shift is taking shape around U.S. government holdings of Bitcoin. Rather than liquidating its substantial digital asset reserves—something that occurred repeatedly in past years—there's now a stated commitment to maintain and grow these holdings. The underlying philosophy echoes what the crypto community has long advocated: a long-term conviction model where you don't sell your Bitcoin. This represents a notable departure from historical government behavior of offloading crypto assets, and instead aligns with the view that Bitcoin should be treated as strategic reserve rather than a liquidation opportunity. The move signals confidence in Bitcoin's value proposition and marks a potential turning point in how major institutions approach digital asset management.

The government finally understands the essence of HODL—Bitcoin is not an ATM, brother.

actually, if you examine the governance precedent here—and historically speaking, this is huge—the U.S. basically just adopted what we've been saying for years. hodl mentality finally hitting institutional level.

Haha, finally the day has come. The government has also started to hodl. --- The US government has finally come around. Bitcoin truly should be part of strategic reserves. --- This is outrageous. The ones who once sold off coins now have to learn to hold long-term. Irony, isn't it? --- We've been shouting for so many years, and finally someone is listening... It feels a bit like a dream, haha. --- With this policy shift, it seems the crypto market is about to take off, but we still need to see if they truly hold it long-term. --- Institutions are starting to play the hodl game. We retail investors entered too early. --- It turns out the government also believes Bitcoin is digital gold. Wow. --- Sounds good, but in the end, it's all about the price. Don't expect too much. --- From selling off to strategic reserves, this transformation is truly remarkable. Web3 has won.

Oh my God, finally the moment has arrived. Is the government also starting to hodl? But then again, this strategy should have been in place a long time ago.
