#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.
