The United States is reportedly on the verge of a significant Bitcoin policy announcement, as indications from the Bitcoin 2026 Conference suggest the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is nearing realization. Patrick Witt disclosed that a major announcement is expected within weeks, following the president's executive order on the reserve. The initiative, originally started under Donald Trump, aims to formalize through the American Reserves Modernization Act, proposing the accumulation of up to 1 million BTC over five years. Meanwhile, the crypto market is witnessing a shift as institutional interest grows. Analyst Jeff Park highlights that IBIT options have surpassed Deribit in open interest, signaling a move towards institutional dominance. This change is reflected in IBIT's higher implied volatility, indicating strong demand for long-term Bitcoin exposure. Park predicts a significant Bitcoin price surge, driven by these institutional moves and the anticipated policy developments.
