The system may combine self-custody with third-party custody. Federal agencies are reviewing their Bitcoin holdings, but disclosure of specific totals remains undecided.
Patrick Witt said the Treasury Department is establishing a Bitcoin (BTC) custody system that may combine self-custody with third-party custody as federal agencies conduct a second review of government-held Bitcoin.
The review aims to improve the accuracy of agencies’ holdings data. Witt said whether to publish specific holdings figures remains undecided.
The purchase routes discussed previously include revaluing gold reserves, using the Exchange Stabilization Fund, converting other assets and accepting Bitcoin for taxes and fees. Witt said each option requires further legal analysis.
