#2026年比特币行情展望 Why did Trump's "Bitcoin will never be sold" promise suddenly reverse overnight? The U.S. Department of Justice ignores the executive order, directly selling $6 million worth of BTC



Recently, a hot topic in the crypto world has left many puzzled—Trump just declared that "America will become a Bitcoin superpower," but then the U.S. Department of Justice immediately went against his public promise.

Let's review this president's "maneuvers": During the campaign, he vowed to classify BTC as a national strategic reserve. After taking office, he signed an executive order stating "the government will never sell its Bitcoin holdings," and even planned a reserve of one million Bitcoins, placing digital assets on the same level as gold. The speed of this attitude shift is unprecedented in the industry—going from harshly criticizing Bitcoin as a "scam tool" to now calling himself the "cryptocurrency president," his actions speak volumes.

But the reality is harsh. The Department of Justice recently sold the BTC involved from the Samourai development team directly on the market, amounting to over $6 million. This is not an internal adjustment but a blatant bypass of the president's executive order. Once industry media confirmed the news, the market began to ponder a question: Why is there such a significant divide within the U.S. government regarding Bitcoin assets?

From an operational perspective, this reflects an awkward reality—the president's policy intentions and the judiciary's independent authority are beginning to clash. Although $6 million is not a large portion of national assets, it publicly contradicts policy. If such incidents continue, Bitcoin's price volatility could increase due to internal disagreements within the U.S. government. This "power dialogue" warrants ongoing attention.

The Department of Justice's move is brilliant, openly slapping in the face Trump going against the Department of Justice? The power game has begun Executive orders are just for show, who actually holds the power still remains to be seen 6 million USD, what’s that? This is a signal being sent out, friends The White House’s left hand fighting the right hand, the fate of BTC is really uncertain Wait, isn’t this just handing a knife to the bears? Such internal discord in the government, how can crypto enthusiasts trust it? By the way, does this kind of back-and-forth really affect price trends? The Department of Justice dares to openly defy the President’s order, outrageous

This government infighting is really unbelievable. They promised never to sell, but then turned around and sold. The logic is dead.

Wow, the Department of Justice's move clearly is a slap in Trump's face. Based on on-chain data tracking, I had already guessed that the $6 million BTC transfer path would turn out like this. Wait, the Samourai assets involved in the case worth $6 million are directly listed on the market? Tracking this transaction through multiple addresses, it's definitely suspicious wallet behavior. Internal conflicts within government agencies, such abnormal fund flow patterns are typical signals of power struggles, warranting in-depth analysis and judgment. Trump said he wouldn't sell, but the Department of Justice sold immediately afterward—there's a big logical flaw here, and the underlying connections are obvious. After analysis and judgment, the U.S. government's attitude towards BTC is far from unified. This is the real hidden variable that affects the coin's price.

The DOJ's move is really impressive; the slap in the face came so quickly. Wait, is this testing Trump's resolve? Or a power struggle? 6 million is nothing, the key is the demonstration effect, brother. Policy looks good on paper, but execution is a whole different story. Trump: I said never sell, DOJ: I insist on selling, is that okay? This internal conflict's impact on the crypto price is the real threat. Feels like the US government is about to go to war, haha. The gap between promises and reality is a bit too wide. At this critical moment, throwing out BTC—are they trying to dump or is there another consideration? Power division in the crypto world is unavoidable. Where's the promised national reserve? Why sell just because they said so? Strangely, after all these years watching Trump's moves, trusting him is like giving a 50% discount.

This is outrageous, the Department of Justice is calling them out to their face. Trump's acting skills are top-notch, he said he wouldn't sell. Power struggles, retail investors suffer, it's the old routine. Department of Justice: We have our own affairs, mind your own business. The internal conflicts within the US government, we need to move faster. Just 6 million dollars, but it's the attitude that matters, brother. Executive orders are just for show? We need to watch this closely. As I always say, don't trust politicians' words, watch their hands.

This Department of Justice is really frustrating, stabbing people in the back right after turning around. Trump has been proven wrong again. The internal government conflicts are so obvious, aren't they afraid of undermining confidence in Bitcoin? Wait, can $6 million really shake the promise? Feels a bit exaggerated. If this power balance really gets messy, the crypto circle might end up as the cannon fodder. This move by the Department of Justice is probably testing the bottom line. But on the other hand, do these internal disagreements have a big impact on the short-term market? Or is it nothing in the long run? Trump's promises, you really believe them? Haha.
