Scott Bessent: The policy of this administration is to include seized Bitcoin into our digital asset reserves. On January 20, 2026, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent responded to questions during a press conference in Davos, stating that the U.S. has passed the Stablecoin-focused 'Genius Act,' aimed at establishing an optimal regulatory framework to attract digital asset innovation back to the country and reverse the negative impacts of the previous administration. Regarding Bitcoin seized during enforcement actions, Bessent clearly pointed out that the government's policy is to formally include it in digital asset reserves after completing damage compensation, emphasizing that the primary goal of 'halting sell-offs' has already been achieved.
