U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the administration plans to add seized Bitcoin to the national digital asset reserve. Speaking at a press briefing in Davos on January 20, 2026, Bessent explained that this policy will be implemented after settling any damages related to the seized assets. He also noted that the government has successfully halted the sale of Bitcoin, achieving a key objective. Additionally, Bessent highlighted the recent passage of the "Genius Act" for stablecoins, which aims to create a regulatory framework to foster digital asset innovation within the United States. This move is part of a broader strategy to re-establish the U.S. as a leader in the digital asset space.
