Why is it that every time the price goes up, bullish news starts flying everywhere? Remember when Trump signed that Bitcoin Reserve Order on March 6 last year? The seized coins can’t be auctioned off anymore—they’re all being kept. Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the *Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act*, which states that Bitcoin will be locked up for 20 years (though it hasn’t officially become law yet). Currently, the estimated balance of Bitcoin reserves is between 198,000 and 328,000 BTC. Take a look at where these coins came from, and you’ll get it: Silk Road, Bitfinex recoveries, the Prince Group case—almost none of them were bought with actual money. The good news? No sell-off pressure for the next 20 years. The bad news? They were all seized, not a single penny spent.
