Patrick Witt, a White House official, has confirmed that a formal Bitcoin Strategic Reserve announcement is coming within weeks — the clearest timeline yet from inside the administration on a policy that markets have been pricing in since early executive-order signals.
The statement carries weight precisely because it comes from within the White House rather than from congressional advocates or industry lobbyists. A formal reserve designation would mark a structural shift in how the U.S. government treats Bitcoin: from seized-asset liability to deliberate sovereign holding.
If the announcement lands on the timeline Witt described, it would represent one of the most consequential moments in Bitcoin's institutional history — placing it alongside gold and foreign currency reserves on a government balance sheet for the first time.
